Mini Cooper 2dr vs Mini Cooper 4dr | test drive and detailed review

The main differences between the Mini Cooper 2-door (2dr) and 4-door (4dr) versions lie in their design, space, and practicality:
1. *Number of Doors:*
- *2-door:* Has two doors for passengers.
- *4-door:* Has four doors for passengers, making it easier for rear-seat passengers to enter and exit.
2. *Dimensions:*

- *4-door:* Longer than the 2-door version, providing more interior space.
3. *Interior Space:*
- *2-door:* Offers less rear-seat legroom and less cargo space. It is more suitable for those who don't frequently carry passengers in the back seat.
- *4-door:* Provides more rear-seat legroom and increased cargo space, making it more practical for families or those needing more space.
4. *Seating Capacity:*
- *2-door:* Typically seats four people.
- *4-door:* Can seat up to five people, with easier access to the rear seats due to the additional doors.
5. *Weight:*
- *2-door:* Slightly lighter due to its smaller size.
- *4-door:* Slightly heavier, which may impact fuel efficiency and performance slightly.
6. *Performance:*
- Differences in weight and size can result in minor variations in handling and fuel efficiency, with the 2-door often being slightly more nimble and the 4-door providing a more stable ride.
7. *Price:*
- *2-door:* Typically priced lower than the 4-door model.
- *4-door:* Priced higher due to the added practicality and space.

Depends on your budget. From my experience, after 2015(new body) I much better quality and car itself looks better. If you ok on a price/budget, 2018-2020 S with manual a way to go. It’s really impressive for me how they “keeping together” after 50-60k on a clock.
