2009 Mini Cooper Unknown

This Mellow Yellow MINI Cooper confirms that size does matter! Its diminutive size has proven attractive to all age and gender groups. Young couples look upon it as an ecologically friendly urban transport (Road and Track magazine agreed, picking it as one of its ten best urban vehicles) retired/empty nester couples view it as economical, reliable transportation for fixed-income living women tend to love its looks and racer boyz are having a hoot with its performance, as are some autocross folks. The 2009 base MINI delivers 28/37 mpg overall with the manual and it will also delight the average driver with its tractability and comfort. This year the engine sends power through a new 6-speed manual Getrag gearbox and drivers loved rowing through the six-speed, enthusing over its 'light, positive action connected to well-chosen ratios.' The MINI's apt pedal placement makes heel-and-toe downshifting even sweeter. With the manual transmission, MINI says the base model does 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. However, the quick-shifting reviewers at Car and Driver managed to do it in 7.7 seconds. As for safety, once again size does seem to matter, as the first-generation MINI received a four-star safety rating from the NHTSA and a 'best Pick' designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Six airbags are ready to deploy, set off by a sophisticated crash-sensing system. Two bags in front, one on each side of the front seats, and two side curtains deploy from the headliner, protecting front and rear occupants. All of this is set in an ultra-rigid body shell with side-impact door beams and built-in crumple zones designed to spread the impact of a crash. From its birth in 1959 through its various reincarnations, the Mini has been a hit. With this latest version, it continues its remarkable run of popularity so print this page out and Call us for your personal test drive!
