zAuto Reviews The 2011 MINI Cooper S Convertible


Here's part of what author Andy say at zAutos,
But MINIs offer more than motoring fun; they offer “Cooper charisma.” Bulbous spheres and circles style the retro cabin; it’s not very practical, but quite appealing. Functionality, unfortunately, is lacking. The cabin, while a cave for two, is a cage for four. The Cooper S only offers 5.7-cubic feet of trunk space, and even a hydra couldn’t safety back up the MINI without the optional parking sensors.

The Cooper S has similar amenities to the base Cooper, highlighted by xenon headlamps, leatherette upholstery, and a six-speaker audio system with HD and satellite radio. For a pretty penny, the Cooper can be customized and upgraded to your heart’s desire, albeit for a luxury price tag.

Chic, customized quickness – that’s MINI’s successful formula for matchmaking. Love, Cooper S-style.
