2009 Mini Cooper

















The 2009 Mini Cooper is the automotive equivalent of a boundlessly energetic Jack Russell terrier. Sure, it makes a lot of noise. Sure, it plays a little rough sometimes. And, well, it's little. But when that pooch is bounding toward you, yipping gaily, lips peeled back in an apparent smile, you can't help but smile back. That's the Mini in a nutshell -- it's not the most refined pup in the litter, but its exuberant personality is bound to win you over.

As noted, the 2009 Mini Cooper isn't the most luxurious hatchback or convertible out there. If muted road noise, a usable backseat and a compliant ride are on your wish list, the Volvo C30, VW GTI or VW Rabbit might make a better choice. If those issues, plus rear visibility are important in your convertible, a VW Eos is better, but pricier. The Mazda Miata is also worth consideration. But we can't think of another car on the road that comes close to the Cooper's cocktail of style, fuel efficiency and fun.

An alloy wheel (a steering with a CD Player and a supporting sound jack and throttle reaction, full power accessories, air-conditioning, the selectable Sport setting of a cover, a steering wheel wrapped tilt/telescoping leather in, a trip computer and six - speaker stereos of leatherette (high-quality vinyl)) of 15 inches is supplied with base Cooper. The convertible completely increases with a "sun roof" function to slide to and measures that time when much time takes down a roof, and trunk start that it is moved and can expand, climate adjustment top-down setting and "Openometer" are spent with remote control, a bottom hinge. Cooper S increases an engine with the turbo, a wheel of 16 inches, more stable cancellation tuning and sports post (optional on base Cooper). John Cooper Works includes an engine with a more powerful turbo, a wheel of 17 inches, Brembo calipers improved brakes and unique internal and external style cue with. Canceling it can do so formal sports, and, as for the limited slip difference, it can be installed Sara for the people who intend to take their mini with to a truck S and John Cooper Works.

Base Mini Cooper produces four cylinders coming with 1.6 liters, 118HP and 114 pounds - feet of the torque. The Cooper S hatchback is characterized by a version with the turbo of the same engine producing 172HP and 177lb- feet of the torque () for 192lb- feet ("overboost" functions of the full speed). John Cooper Works possesses the revised version of the motor with this turbo sending 208HP and 192lb- feet of the torque (the 206lb- feet that passed through overboost) off in large quantities. As for all 3, six double speed manuals including the hill - start support are supplied with six manual shift paddle double speed automatic belonging to during an option on a base and an S model.

In a performance test, we measured Cooper S from beginning to 60mph in 6.5 seconds. About the base coupe, the mini is not poor too much if I assume it when the mileage to deserve a highway of city /37mpg of -28mpg that I insist on when it does 0-60 drills by 8.5 seconds and the attention of 32mpg interlaced with a manual. Cooper S and both John Cooper Works are estimated as 26/34/29mpg with a gearshift lever. And perhaps it is more impressive than the evaluation of a base model given a performance guiding their smile. The automatic lowers the two or threempg mileage.
