Used 2013 MINI Cooper Coupe for Sale

The 2013 Mini Coupe comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and four airbags (front and side).

The Cooper Coupe had not been crash tested stateside as of this writing, but other Cooper models have generally fared well in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests. The Cooper Hardtop was deemed Good, its highest score, in frontal offset and rear impacts. The IIHS gave the hardtop its second-highest rating of Acceptable in side impact and roof strength testing.

FIAT 500: While we consider the base 500 ($16,000) and 500c ($19,500) to be a step down from the Mini, they're also a lot cheaper. Meanwhile, the turbocharged 500 Abarth hatchback ($22,000) has a great engine and is almost as quick as a Cooper S Coupe for a little less money.

Mazda MX-5 Miata: The rear-wheel-drive Miata ($23,720) is the quintessential affordable 2-seater, and it's now available with a retractable hardtop for a coupe-like experience. We'd be hard pressed to pick a Cooper Coupe over a Miata for the same price.

Subaru BRZ: If you can find one on your local dealer's lot, the 2-seat, rear-wheel-drive BRZ sport coupe ($25,495) is worth a try. It costs as much as a well-equipped Cooper S Coupe, but it's every bit a match for the Mini through the corners, with proper rear-drive dynamics besides.
