Yes, by removing the manual transmission and installing an automatic. Unless you have a donor car this would be extremely expensive. My advice is that if you want an A/T sell the car you have and then buy one with an automatic.
If you need to shirft it while you're driving, it's a 6-speed manual. If not, it's an automatic.
The Mini Cooper S would be a great rental option as Mini Cooper S is fuel efficient as well as sporty. The Mini Cooper S with automatic transmission, socres 25/33 mpg in highway driving.
put it on neutral
If it is a CVT transmission then yes you can use cvt gearbox oil in a mini cooper.
No, but most of them are. You can find ones that are automatic at the mini cooper website.
The 2007 MINI Cooper has a 6-speed manual.
The 2009 MINI Cooper has a 6-speed manual.
