The 2010 Mini Cooper is largely unchanged. The Mini Cooper comes in two hatchback and one convertible body styles. The Clubman is an extended-wheelbase version of the hatchback. The Clubman has a rear-hinged half-door aft of the passenger-side front door and two rear "barn doors" instead of a lift-up hatch. All Coopers come in base and S models, all with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. Base hatchbacks, convertibles, and Clubmans have 118 hp. S versions of all body styles are turbocharged and have 172 hp. All Coopers offer a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The John Cooper Works version uses a 208-hp version of the turbocharged engine. It has a mandatory 6-speed manual transmission, high-performance brakes, a performance suspension, specific exhaust tuning, and 17-inch wheels. Available safety features on all models include ABS, traction control, and an antiskid system. Hatchbacks and Clubmans come with front side airbags and curtain side airbags. Convertibles have front side airbags that provide head and torso protection along with a pop-up rear roll bar. Convertibles also have a power fabric top with a heated-glass rear window and a "sunroof" mode that opens the top above the front seats; in addition to the standard black, it's newly offered in brown and blue. A wireless cell-phone link and assorted personalization options are available on all models. BMW owns Mini, and Coopers are sold at most major-market BMW dealers.
