| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD | I drove a John Cooperworks MINI and I found the front seat to be incredibly flat and unsupportive. It was the complete opposite of the GTI seats, and a big part of why I purchased the GTI instead see full Mini Hardtop review | 
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD | There is no room for anyone other than a child see full Mini Hardtop review | 
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Smallish seats made the front feel kinda cheap. The middle armrest was also a very hard plastic, but the door was slightly softer plastic. see full Mini Hardtop review | 
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Despite being a hatchback, not a lot of headroom in the back, almost as same as the Mustang. Seats were more upright and headrest should have been integrated into seatbacks; rather, it was mostly a nuisance. see full Mini Hardtop review | 
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | too small for adults see full Mini Hardtop review | 
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The roof line is so low that tall people do not fit. When I tested the car my head was touching the roofliner. see full Mini Hardtop review | 
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Its small, but not as small inside as you might think. see full Mini Hardtop review |
