Here's a post I did about a Mini:http://www.whybuyusedcars.com/2007/08/06/kool-whip-of-the-week-2/
Kool Whip of the Week%u20262005 MINI Cooper S
So stylish and so fun.
A suspsension engineered a-la BMW, a 6-speed manual transmission and 168 hp & 162 lb-ft of torque sums up this go-kart on 16 inch wheels nicely. (The suspension borrows a lot from the 3-Series%u2019 elements)
Sticking with British tradition, the Mini Cooper S was designed to be affordable, compact, stylish and fun to drive. And that was back in 1959. Today%u2019s technology outfits this little road-rocket with run-flat tires, seat-height adjustments and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Everyone always comments about it%u2019s size and how it would hold up in an accident. The standard side airbags, head curtains for the front and read passengers and the fixed roll bars were all put there for a reason: 4/5 stars for frontal impacts, 4/5 stars for side impacts and the %u201CBest Pick%u201D rating in IIHS frontal offset crash testing.
My favorite part of this 2005 Mini Cooper S is simply the interior styling - all glitzted up in silver%u2026everywhere you look and yet it%u2019s not gaudy or cheesy at all.
Still plenty of time to enjoy this (eventual) classic. Put the top down, grab some friends and enjoy the rest of the summer in one of the best used cars you can find.
