Why it stands out

The 2016 MINI Cooper stands out because it blends retro charm with genuinely playful road manners. MINI’s own pros and cons point to the formula clearly: retro style, premium features, lots of fun to drive, and huge customisation and upgrade potential, balanced against the fact that everything costs extra, the ride can be harsh at times, and the cabin is always going to be small. That character is a big part of the appeal, especially for buyers who want a small car with personality rather than something anonymous.

For 2016, the third-generation MINI Cooper is part of a generation that has been around since 2014, and the source notes that 2016 is one of the years that seems to have more problems. Even so, the car’s strengths are easy to understand. The standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder that makes 134 horsepower, and MINI says it is meant to be the economy version of this premium-feeling car. It is not fast, but it is still pretty fun to drive. The Cooper S is much quicker, and the generation also includes serious John Cooper Works versions, but the standard Cooper’s appeal is more about lightness, agility, and everyday enjoyment than outright pace.

The 2016 MINI Cooper also offers more usable packaging than earlier versions, even if it remains a small car. This generation is 12 to 25 centimetres longer than the second-generation models and offers a four-door variant, but the back seats are still tight and cargo space is restricted. Up front, though, most people will find plenty of room, including folks well over six feet tall. The cabin’s 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, light ring that changes colours with drive modes, Apple CarPlay, and navigation add to the sense that this is a small car with a premium, distinctive interior. Android Auto is not available at all, which is a notable omission, and the user feedback also points to missing Bluetooth music capability as a frustration for some owners.
