Our Take
What's Hot
Huggable styling
Engaging dynamics
Premium machine, yet a tremendous value

Off-the-line power
Modest dealer network
Quirky interior buttons, display

More power and convertible for 2005

Bottom Line
Most fun-per-inch available, bar none

From The Logbook
"The Mini is fun 24/7. It has performed every task asked of it with puppy dog eagerness, bringing a smile each time."
Jeff Bartlett

"Still amazes me at how large the cabin feels. No sense you're driving one of the smallest cars on the market."
John Matthius

"The exterior is beautifully designed and detailed. I wouldn't change a thing. Nothing looks like a Mini, and the Mini looks like nothing else. As it should be."
Matt Stone

"In a perfect world, all cars would be as fun and affordable as the Mini Cooper"
Jeff Bartlett

"I can't think of another car in its class that's as rewardingly well-assembled, well-executed, or stylish."
Chris Walton
