MINI Cooper S

Hey, first reviewer, don't joke about my age. I'm 50 and I REALLY feel 25 again after driving it and now owning a new cooper S!!! Even my Mrs, who is XX, is now 25 again.

Went to see for a friend...some weeks back... First looks...CUTE and LOVABLE....a yuppee car...drive when you are 50 yrs old makes you feel 25 again. The looks on the exterior makes you fall in love immediately. The front frills and shape...although reminds of Mr. Bean but this is the modern version...Feels young and trendy to have it which can make you shine on the roads here. Interior is a unique speedo dial in the centre which need to get used to it...otherwise its a trend setter to this category of cars...legroom is quite tight...probably meant for 2 people only. Boot space small too...maybe groceries or small shopping trips might be adequate for this car. The drive, I must say is GREAT...the moment you power the engine, it comes alive...the moment you throttle, it revs off almost as instant...EXCELLENT for a 1.6L. I must say...the handling is SUPERB. Cornering is a breeze...compare to other small cars I tried..complete drive over with almost no bodyroll at all. Brakes are great...responsive and immediate. Overall, its a trendy car to have if you want great handling and looks to shine on the roads.... Read More
