Attention Getter

2002 MINI Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl S/C 6M)

This car corners like its on a rail! Go- cart-like handling and roomy interior. (For two passangers) While the front seats are very comfortable, there is little leg room for additional passangers. Gadgets! This car is so cool. Heated seats, headlamp washer jets, on-board computer, retro interior styling just to name a few. Don't purchase this car if you dislike attention. People love the way this thing looks. The 17" rims and low profile run-flat Pirelli tires with the wide stance gives it a bulldog appearance. The "S" model looks aggressive with the hood scoop to feed the super charger.

"Monster"

Monster is the license plate of my 2002 Chili Red Mini Cooper S with black bonnet stripes. It is BMW technology at its best - an affordable, compact car that people from all walks of life desire. The history plays a major roll for this car, yet even if this was its first time around, I believe it would be equally as popular simply because of its perfect engineering and carefree lifestyle that it promotes. Whenever MINI owners pass one anther on the street they most always wave or honk, very unusual in today's world of "iPods."

No problems after 8000 miles. 16" runflat tires make for rough ride over MA potholes, but fun and looks compensate.

A CLASSIC

2002 MINI Cooper 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CAR INSIDE AND OUT. A PERFECT DESIGN FOR THE CAR'S SIZE; WITHOUT QUESTION RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING AND INVENTIVE DESIGNS IN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY, AND WILL ALWAYS RETAIN ITS GOOD LOOKS. WITHOUT REGARD TO HP, TORQUE, COMFORT...IT'S EXCELLENT APPEARANCE/UNIQUE CHARACTER SECURES ITS PLACE AS A CLASSIC. AND IT'S FASTER THAN A '56 PORSCHE SPEEDSTER AFTER ALL! THE BODY/COMPONENTS FEEL VERY SOLID. RIDE QUALITY IS OUTSTANDING WITH THE 15" BASE WHEELS/TIRES. A LITTLE SLIDING AROUND CORNERS CAN BE FUN, SO WIDER TIRES ARE NOT AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE MINI WHICH ALREADY HANDLES SO WELL WITH THE BASE WHEELS.

Fantastic Breaks, interior design is outstanding! Handling on curves is very reliable- no pitch at all. Add DSC and you are set! Standard items,colors are plentiful with an abundance of additional options to customize as individual pleases. Able to track on Mini website when auto was in production until arrival. Fun!
