The Cooper, part of MINI's lineup since 2002, is a midsize sedan/hatchback with seating up to 4. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. The Cooper has Apple Carplay, which should appeal to iPhone owners. MINI offers a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic/powertrain warranty on its lineup.
