TCC’s Bottom Line

Affordable small cars don't need to be bland, whether in appearance or from behind the wheel. And the 2014 Ford Fiesta is proof of that.

The 2014 MINI Cooper is a fun, smart, and practical way to get around, without giving up its sporty, quirky side.

TCC Likes

Crisp, nicely proportioned exterior
Excellent steering
Strong feature set

Very fun to drive
MINI's iconic look
Very good gas mileage

TCC Dislikes

Interior works no wonders with space
Balky PowerShift transmission
Base audio controls

Small back seat
Uninspired steering feel
Controls and materials don't match the price
