Why it stands out

The 2017 MINI Cooper stands out for delivering the brand’s trademark go-kart-like handling in a small, premium-feeling package. It is part of the third generation, and the standard version uses a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine that makes 134 horsepower. MINI also offered a 189-horsepower Cooper S and performance-focused John Cooper Works versions, which helps explain why the Cooper has such a strong enthusiast following. Even the standard car is described as fun to drive, and the open-air convertible body adds to that appeal.

What makes the 2017 model especially distinctive is how much personality MINI packs into a compact hatchback. The cabin features an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen surrounded by a light ring that changes colours with drive modes, giving the interior a unique look. Apple CarPlay and navigation are included, but Android Auto is not available at all. The car is still small inside, though most people will find plenty of space up front, including taller occupants, while the back seats remain tight and cargo space is limited, especially in the Convertible.

There are also some practical trade-offs buyers should keep in mind. The third-generation Cooper is 12 to 25 centimetres longer than the second-generation models and offers a four-door variant, but it remains front-wheel drive and does not escape the MINI reputation for a firm ride and mixed reliability. Early third-generation models have worse reliability records than later ones, so condition and maintenance history matter. For shoppers who value style, sharp handling, and a car with real character, the 2017 MINI Cooper is easy to understand.
