2012 MINI Cooper Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

It is super cute and fast. It feels like driving a fast go kart. It is definitely my favorite car I've ever owned!

Really amazing car, I have had it for years with minimal issues. Haven't needed any repairs. Drives smooth, interior is easy to take care of and clean. Mileage is also a great factor, sunroof provides lots of natural light and helps cool the car down during the hot summers.

I have only had my cooper aka "white truffle" for about four months now. It is a 2012, purchased in 2018. I was very lucky, the previous owner kept the car in great condition. The seats are immaculate, the carpets and dash still look new and all of the know labeling is still in tact. This is great when you are talking about a 5+ year old car; sometimes the little cosmetic items suffer a bit. The acceleration is not so great, but it is to be expected - the car is tiny! Once it picks up speed, however, this little thing gets up. Overall, I love this car. I am a total hippie and it suits me perfectly.

The 2012 jcw is my perfect car. It is very intuitive, the interior is fun and easy to use. The joystick control for the smart dash is amazing, and works well when the 6-speed transmission. I have had some major parts replaced just before they hit warranty, so keep on the lookout for issues with the turbo, valves, and vacuum hoses. It eats oil like crazy, but as long as you take good care of your baby and feed her regularly she'll treat you right, too. Her handling is impeccable and so much fun to drive. She hugs corners, and if there's ever an emergency maneuver, you can count on this car. She'll do more than you could ask. Loudish road noise changes drastically depending on the tires you choose. I keep run flats for safety, but if the noise is an issue then try normal tires. Surprisingly spacious boot means she's good for road trips too!

I love our mini cooper. It is one zippy and stylish. Automobile. Perfect for long road trips and trips to the city with parking issues. Another great asset it is great on gas and reliability. Also love the interior finishes from leather seats to awesome speakers.

I love my mini. It goes well in the snow, is good on gas and is fun to drive. I enjoy how it handles curves and has enough zip to be able to pull onto a highway easily. The only disadvantage is having the dealership more than an hour away to have it serviced.

Very comfortable and reliable vehicle. Has few oil problem but only on mine. Very good sound system. Mirrors a little small. A little cramped but still good for passengers and driver. This car also takes up very little gas which is good when you are trying to save up money.

Small and comfortable car with enough - plenty space to travel, save luggage, etc. It moves perfectly and really easy to park anywhere. I am very happy with this car and would definitely buy it again. I usually recommend it to people when they ask me for a recommendation.
