Mini Cooper Review, Videos, Pictures, and Specs

The Mini Cooper is one of the smallest cars ever manufactured in the world. But you should not underestimate its size because it packs a lot of power and features that you can imagine. To start off, the Mini Cooper is equipped with a turbocharged 1.6L 16-valve aluminum engine. This small baby can outrun any car once you press the Push Start Button. It can produce a 172 horsepower engine output with a little effort.

Aside from this, you also get something in return once you purchase your own Mini Cooper – free maintenance for 4 years. The manufacturers of the vehicle will be giving free oil changes, fluid services, filter replacements, rotor and brake pad replacements.  Also, Mini Coopers are designed for balance. It employs the Bulldog Stance – the short and wide appearance which lets you make steering and turning easy even with the smallest car. 

The Mini Cooper also has the Getrag 6-speed manual transmission which lets you handle the vehicle with ease and power. When it comes to safety when driving, the Mini Cooper also has some features that will match other regular cars. It has oversized brakes to ensure optimal braking in times of need. Aside from this, it is coupled with the Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) which calculates your load and applies the right amount of brake pressure for smoother cruise control. It also has the Cornering Brake Control (CBC) which stabilizes the vehicles balance while braking when turning to a corner or changing lanes.

The 17-inch aluminum wheels and heat resistant rubber tires of the Mini Cooper is not only there for its great looks but it also functions as something that you can drive to even if you are running on a flat tire.
