Taking Motoring to the Next Level
The Sporty, Fun, and Fuel Efficient MINI Cooper S
Not many cars are practically perfect from every aspect. The MINI Cooper is definitely on that list of very few vehicles. The MINI has been a crowd pleaser since its introduction in 1959.
The exhilarating MINI Cooper S is notably one of the best combination cars. By combination I mean sporty, appealing, fun, fuel efficient, safe, and affordable. All things considered, the MINI is an absolute winner in my book. Dan Neil of the Los Angeles Times stated “It’s my considered opinion that the BMW MINI Cooper is the most successful car design of the last 20 years.” Dan continued on in describing the MINI as “a car that puts a spearmint thrill through you every time you turn the key, a larking, capering, glass-and-steel nymph that nicks past other traffic like it’s mired in molasses.”
Its short and wide proportion “and the low stable center of gravity helps you maintain excellent balance” (MINI USA). MINI USA dubs the handling as “Go-kart-like.” With 172 hp and 177 lb-ft the MINI Cooper S is able to go from 0-to-60 mph in an impressive 6.2 seconds. The 16-valve aluminum Turbocharged Engine with direct fuel injection not only powers the MINI, but also helps to reduce fuel consumption.
Fuel Efficiency is definitely an important component in today’s economy with the continuous fluctuation of gas prices. With this in mind, the MINI Cooper S gets 34 mpg hwy and 26 mpg city, so you can not go wrong. Dan Neil stated “I assert that there is no car on the market that provides as much fun per gallon of (premium) gas.”
Not only is the MINI Cooper S fast and fuel efficient but it is also safe. The High-tech breaking systems, flat tire monitor, and multiple airbags are just a few of the safety features that the MINI has to offer. CLICK HERE to view what steps MINI has taken to provide you with a very safe car.
Dan Neil likes to describe the interior as having “stylishly realized controls, switches and instruments, including the center-situated speedometer as big as a dinner plate, and the tachometer properly located on the steering column. Premium materials, brushed aluminum trim and soft LED pin lights round out the interior décor.” If I were to describe the interior in one word it would be energetic. The interior is so lively, the colors are very attractive, and all of the gadgets are engaging.
The MINI Cooper S has a starting MSRP of $22,600, “which is attractively priced for those who want a unique combination of performance and fuel economy in a stylish and even somewhat practical package” (Edmunds).
FUN FACTS
- The MINI has been featured and spotted in many movies, television shows, and commercials including Austin Powers’ Goldmember and The Italian Job. For a detailed listing CLICK HERE.
- “The MINI Wave. This preferred road greeting of MINI motorers is sort of a secret handshake minus the annoying, pompous secret part. Saying hello to fellow MINI Owners is the unspoken way of the road. Other accepted forms of MINI greetings include the Hey ‘Sup Head Nod and the Old School Honk, but never the middle finger” (MINI USA).
- “Just because you drive, doesn’t mean you motor. When you drive, you go from A to B. When you motor, you go from A to Z. It’s all about living. Nobody can tell you when you’re motoring. You just know” (MINI USA).
