Posted: 02/23/2011 - 11:28 PM ET

The 2011 MINI Cooper delivers an amazing 29/37 MPG city/highway with its 1.6L 121-horsepower 114 lb-ft I4 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. It delivers peppy performance, a nonconformist attitude and loads of driving fun. And of course, everywhere you go, heads will turn and necks will crane. The MINI Cooper features invoice pricing between $17,542 and $22,447. Throw in some excellent financing incentives and you'll end up with monthly payments estimated between $365 and $475. The basic warranty stays in effect for 48 months or 50,000 miles.

Optional features for the MINI Cooper 2011 include bi-xenon headlights, Bluetooth, navigation system, sport tuned suspension, HD radio, parking sensors, powered sunroof, dynamic traction control and more. You can get as fancy as you like with your new MINI Cooper, or keep it simple to trim the budget. New for this year, a refreshed MINI Cooper offers more colors, revised fascias, newly designed wheels and various new technological features.

The 2011 MINI Cooper handles with pleasing agility and performs crisply, seemingly despite its cute/ugly appearance. Front passengers have ample spaciousness for comfort, but rear passengers need to be small in order to fit in well. The new MINI Cooper has a payload capacity of just 816 pounds, so consider that. It is front wheel driven and requires 17.5 feet of turning radius. Overall, it's an exciting vehicle. Just be sure that it's really what you're after because the novelty and cuteness are only worth so much.
