AutoWeek Associate Editor Jonathan Wong reviews the 2011 MINI Cooper S hardtop. His friends think it is dorky but Wong believes it to be a great driver's car:
For a small commuter car, few things can match this Mini Cooper S for the combination of fuel economy and fun factor. Maybe the Fiat 500 Abarth when it gets here? We'll just have to wait and see about that one.
Later on that night when I left, my friend jokingly told me, "Enjoy your car." I said I would, but then stopped for a second and looked at this Cooper S. With its spice-orange paint job and optional "Mini Yours" funky tattoo images on the side, I sort of understood where my friend was coming from.
