MINI Cooper
The Mini is a two-door, four-seat small car produced for four decades over a single generation, with many names and variants, by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors British Leyland and the Rover Group, and finally (briefly) under BMW ownership. Minis were built as saloons, estates, convertibles, and various other body styles. Minus a brief 1990s hiatus, from 1959 into 2000, an estimated 5.38 million of all variations combined were built.

FuelEconomy.gov estimates cover one available configuration; other trims may differ. Costs assume 15,000 miles/year, 55% city driving and source fuel prices. Five-year savings compare with an average new vehicle (gasoline operation for dual-fuel vehicles). CO₂ is tailpipe only. EPA scores run from 1–10; higher is better.
