Good things come in small packages

A pocket hot rod, Goliath killer. I have all the high perf. options and love the overall package performance. A couple of laps at Sebring surprised my brother who races a Porsche there. Stable, fast, excellent brakes, peppy engine. If you want thrifty car, buy a VW diesel. This is about fun and "low self esteem ", they will look at you for sure. Bought HK Sound and Chrono Package. Love them. Chili Red with Silver top different look altogether from Red/White. Would buy again.

When I arrived for my test drive the salesman obviously didn't understand what he had. He had a 2006 Mini JCW-S (john cooper works-s)6 speed manual, not a mini cooper S automatic that it was written up as. This was perfect for me since I really wanted a JCW-S anyway. A few expected minor issues like power windows innop, that are about to be rectified. The 1.6l supercharged engine is awesome this car has had all sorts of mods done to it by the previous owner which were intended for racing, which again is FINE with me. This is now my daily driver as I had intended and fits my needs for compact, fuel saving, speed to a freaking T. Love this little car.

The Mini Cooper S with JCW tuner kit is a tight, fast pocket rocket that loves to be thrown into tight corners. The fun factor is definitly a 10.

This car has a good amount of mileage on it mostly driven on Freeways,always garaged and kept in good maintenance shape-and was never involved in an accident.----- sadly to report that I no longer own this car traded it in for a Subaru all-wheel drive Impreza. Thanks for using your service.

GP - From 0019 in the US

This is my fourth MINI, not bad on a car only that has only been available in the US since 2002! I've loved them all, but the GP is really something special. From the sound of the supercharger winding up to the road hugging dynamics, it's the most fun to drive car I've ever owned.
