BMW Mini Cooper S

The mini cooper is what I call a hairdressers car. It is very female focused. It has soft goo-goo eyes headlights, a very fashionable and different style of head-up display as the speedo and car information all come from the big circular display sits high on top of the dashboard, rite in the middle. From the small looks outside you would not realize how much space is a actually in these little cars and a 6’6 athlete like me has plenty of space in the front. The mini offers plenty of air space which possibly adds to the feel of size, but I would not be seen driving a mini….unless it was an “S” mini. This model of mini is a little more male friendly as BMW made the image of the car different to the basic cars with much more aggressive styling on the body work, wheels, sound, and performance. They tweaked with the 1.6 engine which now pushes out 172 bhp from a car me and two friends could pick up. 0-60 in 7.8 is not blistering but certainly is a fun nippy little drive as the car is so nippy as you bang through the 6-speed manual gear box. It feels like you are going faster than you are, whilst supplying you with a lot of grip. This car is not all fun and games as the figures for day to day life is impressive with 34mpg so less stopping and more going but you don’t buy a mini S for economy. You can almost design your own car as the number options for colors, stripes, no stripes, fog lights,, roof patterns, soft-tops and the list goes on so with the mini you can really create a unique car to you from the show room. The Mini Copper S is a unique car with unique appeals and has its own little Niche.
