What the record shows

The 2011 Mini Cooper S Convertible is a minicompact car, and the 7th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2005 to 2026.

The EPA rated two configurations: a single 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline.

Combined fuel economy ranges from 28 to 30 mpg depending on which one you have.

The federal record holds 4 owner complaints, 2 safety recalls, 1 investigation and 94 service bulletins for it.

Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.

Reading this report

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
