Canadian model reference
MINI
MINI's small, fun-to-drive Cooper, with 161 hp, 201 hp or 228 hp in the John Cooper Works, now automatic only. MotorMouth's 2025 notes list the convertible from $46,975 and the John Cooper Works hardtop at $55,975 including freight, PDI and fees. A research reference built around the questions small-car shoppers ask, not a marketplace listing.
The new-generation 2025 Cooper comes as a hardtop or a convertible, in Cooper C, Cooper S and John Cooper Works versions. All are front-wheel drive with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic; the manual is gone. The convertible's automatic soft top opens or closes in 18 seconds at up to 30 km/h (19 mph). Prices and figures come from Zack and Andrea Spencer's MotorMouth review notes from July 2025, for the convertible and the John Cooper Works hardtop. Measurements in inches and cubic feet are converted to metric.

No. The manual was dropped for 2025, and every Cooper uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, according to MotorMouth's notes. Transmissions come up in 31 comments. One viewer asked: "If a Mini Cooper doesn't have a stick is it really a Mini Cooper?"

The Cooper C makes 161 hp, the Cooper S 201 hp and the John Cooper Works 228 hp with 280 lb-ft. MotorMouth's notes call the handling sharp and lively, and the John Cooper Works go-kart-like with tons of power, though you feel bumps on the adaptive suspension.
Drive on a rough road if you are considering the JCW.
MotorMouth's notes give the Cooper S convertible 8.9 L/100 km (26 mpg US) city and 6.6 L/100 km (36 mpg US) highway, and the John Cooper Works hardtop 8.8 L/100 km (27 mpg US) city and 6.4 L/100 km (37 mpg US) highway. Premium fuel is recommended for the JCW.
