need oppinons on new car!
Tuesday, June 05, 2007 4:28 PM
hahaha just kidding

i just went and looked at mini cooper S's and i have to say those little cars impressed the crap out of me

these are the first two i looked at and needless to say, i was impressed


blue mini

black mini with navigation

went and rode in the indigo blue one and yeah, it was a blast to say the least

i did have a question though, i know mini is associated with BMW, but is the engine made by BMW?

my only concern is if repairs would be as expensive

so yeah i just want to see what you guys and girls think, i know most people have positive things to say about them

give me the positives about them, and negs, but mind you i am very set on this car and will more than likely be buying one so i would not like suggestions of other cars at the same price, etc

thanks!

First gen were 1.6L export version Neon engines. The new one is Peugeot/BMW engines.
ALL VERY FUN TO DRIVE!

But with every good there is a bad.

well if you look between 2005 to 2006 there is a pretty big improvement, albeit still above the industry average for problems

you could buy a brand new one for them prices

an 07 will run you 21k and its not only faster but a much better over all car not only that but the new engine is awesome stuff i can see the after market being huge for it

07 cooper S = capable of 14.7 in the 1/4 mile stock and sipping gas at a tune of 29city / 36hwy ...sign me up
