Bluetooth wireless communication is now standard, replacing Sirius satellite radio, which becomes an option. John Cooper Works (JCW) models can now be had with an automatic transmission. Joining the lineup this year is the Mini John Cooper Works GP, which Mini says is its fastest model ever made. Just 500 Mini GP models will be imported to the U.S.
Most changes for the 2012 Mini are related to customization. Mini Yours debuts, with emphasis on a "very premium and very exclusive" subset of options designed to provide even more personalization (and take even more of your budget). The end result is a little bit Mini - and a little bit of Scion.
More than a decade after re-launching in the United States under BMW, Mini's vehicles continue to make a big impact on the small-car landscape. More than just compact cars that fit anywhere, Minis offer some of the best smiles per gallon. Mini's stable of diminutive British vehicles continues to grow with new editions such as the larger Countryman and Paceman, but all Minis remain based on the original Hardtop's architecture and use a fuel-efficient 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that comes in a variety of power outputs. Base Mini Coopers have a relatively low starting price, but these cars' premium build quality and highly customizable features are reflected in prices that rise quickly with trim levels.
