Grinning ear to ear.

Driving my new Mini S Coupe is a breath of fresh air. I stand 6'6" and can comfortably fit in driver's seat. After driving large pickups for my daily drivers the Mini has been a welcome change. Not only is it fun to drive, but it has cut my weekly fuel bill by two thirds! I am using those savings to find me an older pickup that is free from all of the new fangled technology that plagues pickups today.

My 2006 Hyper Blue / black top Mini Cooper S has the premium package, sport package w/webspokes, cold weather package, ltd slip, anthracite headliner, and leather seats w/blue inserts. This car is better than my '04 Cooper in every way. The body is tighter with no squeaks or rattles. The ride is actually better with the 17 inch wheels than my '04 was with the 16's. The webspokes are gorgeous. The small upgrade in power and change in gearing makes the car feel as quick as the '04 was with the TMS pulley package. I will upgrade the '06 as well when the pulley package is available. I looked at the Subaru WRX STI (incredibly low and super harsh ride) and the new Volkswagen GTI (pretty cool but it ain't no MINI!). I love this car.

This is a great car. It's fun to drive, well engineered, gets good gas mileage, looks sharp, corners like a race car, and accelerates with the best of them. I drive it on a 36 mile commute every day and love it. It does not drive like a small car. It feels very solid on the road.

I've owned my MINI for almost 5 months now and I can't begin to explain how much I love this car. Everything from the toggle switches inside to the supercharged 1.6L engin make me smile ear to ear. it is the only car that I've owned that makes me look forward to driving in the morning. It's simply amazing.

This is my fifth Mini. I've had a Mini classic, 2004 Cooper, 2005 Cooper Convertible, 2005 Mini Cooper S Convertible, and now a 2006 White Pepper Cooper S Convertible. This is such a fun car to drive, especially going round corners. It's nippy and fun! I have so many options...some of the major ones are: aero kit, (custom chrome grill), 17" web spoke wheels, xenon headlamps, additonal racing lights, chrome exterior, chrome line interior, navigation, automatic transmission with paddles (one of the greates features), auxillary gauges, sport package, premium package, cold weather package, convienience packaage, front fog lights, rear fog light (great for backing off drivers too close or those with brights on), and the wind deflector.
