I'm currently driving a hyundai accent, I've been thinking of trading my car in for a MINI.
I've been looking at some of the used mini's and don't really know which one would be better for me. I drove a 2012 MINI Cooper s and it was amazing, it has a mileage of 77K+. I was wondering if anyone has any idea if that's good for a mini or is that too much?

I've found some other MINI Coopers and was really confused to why some of the 2013 model is the same price as a 2012 model.

Here's a 2015 MINI: http://shiftmotors.com/inventory/min....2SxVKk8h.dpbs

Also is the MINI Cooper S worth extra money? and I don't like dealing with car repairs so I wanna get one where I can do regular maintenance and everything works out fine!

thank you,

 

Yes, it you want the power. The N18 engines are pretty good on the 2011+ so you will be fine. Gen2 MINIs.


The Gen 3 MINI will have more updates and a softer more BMW feel to them. hands down drive them all and then you will know.

 

If you can, drive a Cooper and Cooper S to note the power difference. It's personal preference, and how much highway driving vs. how much around town. The base Cooper is plenty for many urban and suburban drivers and likely better for reliability and maintenance. But, if you like the power and want to accelerate through the twisty bits, well . . .
