2002 Mini Cooper Base

Vehicle Overview: Fans of the British-built Mini haven't seen one officially imported into the United States since 1967. In March 2002, a brand-new Mini arrived in America, capitalizing on the Mini's heritage but creating a new brand. The modern-day rendition of the legendary Lilliputian motorcar came into being after BMW bought the company that had produced the original. Think of the born-again 2002 Mini Cooper as an affordable, luxurious go-kart for adults. The thrill of owning a piece of history laden with modern-day comforts, rally-ready suspension and steering, availability of BMW's safety technology, hatchback utility, and lots of standard features. Exterior Designers selected the 1967 Mini Cooper as their starting point. Despite increased dimensions and a more contemporary appearance overall, the new Mini has a squarish shape that's similar to the original. All four wheels are positioned far out at the corners — a theme that also harks back to the first Mini. Short overhangs yield a wheelbase that's only 4 feet shorter than the entire length of the vehicle. The Mini rides a 94-inch wheelbase and measures 143 inches long overall. Interior: The Mini seats four occupants in a configuration similar to that of old Minis, which provides more interior space than the exterior dimensions suggest. A center-mounted speedometer also is reminiscent of the one used on the original Mini. Cargo space is 5.3 cubic feet and jumps to 23.6 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down. Under the Hood: Teamed with a five-speed-manual gearbox, the Mini's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine will produce 115 horsepower. The engine's torque rating is 190 pounds-feet, which is claimed to accelerate the Mini from zero to 60 mph in a little more than 9 seconds. Safety: Minis contain six airbags, including BMW's Head Protection System. Stability control is standard, and the Mini uses all-disc brakes.All power equipment is functioning properly. No defects.
