Mini Cooper
A friend of mine said a friend of his who has a Corvette and a Mini Cooper likes the Mini better.
The Mini Cooper S Convertible, which we test drove, is unique in all its features, qualities and characteristics. The revolutionary compact car has impeccable driving characteristics and superior fuel economy.
Improved all-round visibility with the roof closed results first from the slightly larger side windows at the rear and second from the newly conceived, fully retracting rollbar. This single-piece rollbar moving up instantaneously whenever required normally remains slightly below the headrests at the rear, not in any way obstructing the visibility of the driver looking back.
Mini has incredibly agile handling in the modern mega-city with unrivaled sportiness and design full of expression and “unmistakeability,” a word I invented. Mini Convertible is sporting yet sophisticated in its look. It is more muscular and powerful than its size indicates.
Driving a Mini s not just a matter of getting from A to B, but rather an expression of your own personal style. And indeed, the many options to customize the Mini give the enthusiast a wide range of opportunities in bringing out his personal taste and preferences.
Innovative, self-confident and charming, Mini clearly presents its exceptional character not only on the road but also in a close dialogue with the public.
The car has become the object of art and fashion. Peter Sellers was one of the first celebrities thrilled by the Mini. Kate Moss has driven a Mini in London for a long time, and Davie Bowie had a Mini manufactured all in chrome and with reflecting glass surfaces.
I have a Mini game called Liquid Assets on my iPhone where you shoot coins into Mini cars to collect points. Of course, you can find a Mini dealer on the app.
