The 2012 Mini Cooper comes with a four-cylinder engine, and test drivers said the base Mini Cooper offers adequate power on city streets, but takes time to get up to passing speeds on the highway. Critics were especially fond of the more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines available in the Cooper S and John Cooper Works trims, which they praised for their brisk acceleration. Reviewers preferred the standard six-speed manual transmission for its sharp shift action and natural clutch feel, and added that the available six-speed automatic shifts harshly at times. The base 2012 Cooper gets an EPA-estimated 28/36 mpg city/highway with an automatic transmission, which is good for the class.
