The Cooper Hardtop 4-Door could be handy for parents who need to access child safety seats in the rear compartment, but otherwise we don't really see the point — the backseat in this thing is still tiny. Anyway, the base three-cylinder model with the manual transmission is quite fun to drive, but we'd save up for a Cooper S ourselves.
The automatic three-cylinder Hardtop 4-Door is an economical configuration thanks to its low base price and impressive fuel economy, but its acceleration is a bit lackluster for a Mini.
The Cooper S Hardtop 4-Door with the manual is our pick of the 4-Door litter. We prefer the feel and styling of the 2-Door, but if you want to have the 4-Door's greater cargo space and slightly improved passenger space, the Cooper S manual is the perfect spec.
The Cooper S Hardtop 4-Door with the automatic has one of the more impressive combinations of fuel economy and acceleration you'll find. We'd rather have the manual, but if you prefer automatics, this spec is quite compelling.
