Mini Cooper tops small cars in crash tests

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The four-door Mini Cooper may be small, but it can really take a punch.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ranked small cars in frontal crash tests. The Mini Cooper Countryman was the only car out of the 12 tested that got the top rating of "good."

According to the Institute, cars faring poorly on the front-end tests included Nissan's Leaf and Juke, the Fiat 500 L and the Mazda 5 Wagon.
