In Edmunds braking, various Mini Cooper S models with 17-inch wheels stopped from 60 mph between 112 and 115 feet -- excellent results.
Edmunds
Despite the lukewarm scores, the MINI Cooper comes standard with a strong set of safety features, including six airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, and hill-start assist.
Optional safety upgrades include xenon headlamps, parking sensors, and run-flat tires (which are standard on the Cooper S).
Conclusion
Mediocre test scores put the 2012 MINI Cooper on less-than-stellar ground for safety, but its dynamic handling and standard passive safety features should still instill a sense of ease.
