In this 09 Mini Cooper S - Fun to drive and adorable to see this low - miles car is a giant wooden roller coaster of fun to drive! It goes fast corners tight and stops are linear. It s roomier than you think it s going to be. You can park it almost anywhere and it s well OK just plain cute. People will stop you in parking lots and ask your impressions if you ever decide to actually park it and get out! It looks British feels Teutonic and eats up American roads. Folks all around think it s a hoot to drive probably the biggest reason for that is the 172 hp 1.6L 4-cylinder Supercharged engine and six-speed manual transmission. All the convenience features are there and a few fun ones too like a hood scoop fog light
