If the MINI Cooper 2-Door is a bit too impractical, maybe the 4-Door is the answer. By slightly stretching the iconic MINI Cooper, a set of rear doors are added making access to the back seats easier. Otherwise, everything we love about the 2-Door Cooper is included with the 4 Door. But there is one caveat; the JCW is not offered on this model.
Still, the Cooper S is plenty entertaining enough and there JCW versions of the Clubman and Countryman.

Mini Cooper S vs Mazda 3 Turbo Comparison: Little(ish) Bundles of Joy
Does practicality inevitably lead to compromising on driving dynamics?
While browsing through brochures you come across a Mini Cooper. You’re considering buying a hatch and it’s one of the few cars the heart instantly gravitates towards. But you remember you also have a family. Keeping that in mind your wife hands you the brochure (it’s just website links now) to the Mazda 3. It looks nice, quite practical, has enough power and according to reports drives quite well too. But then you also realize the Cooper now comes with four doors and is now a car worth considering. That burning confusion has inevitably led you here.
The Mini Cooper S is an icon and an absolute hoot to drive while the Mazda 3, now with the Turbo motor pushing out 250 hp teeters on the edge of hot hatch territory. But do the two extra doors really make the Mini Cooper S that much more practical and do the Mazda 3 Turbo’s extra horses translate to a more engaging drive? it’s time for some answers.
