Driven: 2022 Mini Cooper Hardtop
Why not treat those who very much want to live the three-pedal life? Still, the base 2022 Mini Cooper is a great all-around subcompact, and any enthusiast would get a kick out of putting it through its paces on a winding mountain road.
2020 Mini Cooper Clubman S — Spacious, Quirky, And Full Of Tech
Wear headphones! The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. With headphones or earbuds on, you’ll feel like you’re actually sitting in the driver’s seat.
Driven: 2014 Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S
Now entering its third generation since the nameplate was brought back to market by BMW in 2000, the 2014 Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S now shares key engineering elements with front-drive BMW models coming to market later this year. While on the surface the new Mini may not appear significantly different from its predecessor, underneath the skin, the new Mini Cooper tells a different story.
First Look: 2013 Mini Countryman
Mini has just released the details on the upcoming 2013 Countryman, it’s all-wheel-drive, less-mini Mini. Available starting this month, the new Countryman benefits from changes that are more of the refreshed variety, rather than sweeping substantial ones.
Geneva 2012: Mini Cooper Clubvan Concept
We said this one was coming, and now here it is. Mini has taken the wraps off the working-class version of its long-wheelbase Clubman. Of course, it’s still a concept, but this car looks quite production ready.
Model Evolution: The Mini
It’s been said that the original Volkswagen GTI is the world’s first hot hatch. Respecfully, we disagree. The original Mini, especially in Cooper and Cooper S guises, has been terrorizing the bigger cars of the world for almost 50 years, starting with the first Mini Cooper back in 1961.
Rumors: Auto Show—Mini Panel Van Coming To Geneva
Auto Motor und Sport is reporting that Mini will be launching a cargo-oriented version of the Mini Cooper Clubman at the Geneva Auto Show. The Clubman sits on a stretched version of the standard Cooper’s hatchback platform.
Refreshed: What’s Changed For The 2011 Mini Cooper S
After two to three years on the market, it isn’t unusual to see a manufacturer change some things about a model, no matter how successful it’s been. Such has been the case for the 2011 Mini Cooper S, which sees a host of changes inside, outside, and under the hood. We spent a week with the revised Cooper S to see what impact these changes actually made.
First Look: Mini Cooper Coupe
We’ve just gotten our first official look at the newest member of the growing Mini family. The Mini Cooper Coupe represents a return to basics, with a sporty two-seat layout instead of the two hardly usable seats found in the hardtop.
Base Versus Loaded: 2011 Mini Cooper S
We love the Mini Cooper S as a budget driver’s car. It’s quick, communicative, eager to rotate, and economical. But the budget goes out the window when we start playing with the manufacturer’s configuration tool. With the oodles of packages and accessories, we managed to make our Cooper S more costly in options alone than the price of the base car. Have a look.
Forgotten Racing Heroes: Sir Jack Brabham
The name Sir Jack Brabham is very well known among Formula 1 fans, but lately Sir Jack has been fading into the background and we thought we would refresh everyone’s memories with his mind-boggling accomplishments.
Ask It: 2010 Mini Cooper Camden Edition

Spy Shots: Mini Cooper S And Clubman S On The Road
Right on schedule, Mini is preparing a mid-cycle refresh for both its Cooper and Clubman models. Both models have been in service for a few years, and as is usually the case, are getting light refreshes, mainly consisting of revised front and rear bumpers, headlights, and taillights.
All-Electric Mini E Tackles Der Nürburgring
Who says green cars can’t go racing? Mini likes to go above and beyond when it comes to publicity stunts, and this is no different. This particular stunt involves the all-electric Mini E, and Germany’s famed and feared Nürburgring-Nordeschleife.
Spy Shots: Mini Cooper S Diesel Offers More Diesel Power
Our spy shooter sent us photos of the more powerful diesel version of the Mini Cooper.
Driven: Mini Cooper – Where Less is More
Over the last few months, we’ve been the lucky recipients of a spate of different Mini products here at Winding Road. From the rather rip-snorting Mini JCW, to a Cooper S droptop, to the presumably humble, plain-Jane Cooper we had most recently as part of an upcoming group test. This extended amount of Mini seat time (I do my best to hog the little beggars from my fellow Winding Roaders, whenever possible) has lead to a strange revelation on my part—I simply like driving the less powerful cars more.
