Small in stature but large in racing history, presence and performance, the Mini Cooper S has always held its own against much larger cars. Its unmistakable petite package is endearing to the masses and its surprising performance is profound. Wheeling through traffic is a breeze and you will find this early front-wheel drive ride to stick to nearly any surface like a gecko.

Distinctive styling, a compact package, and plenty of turbo-driven power make the Mini Cooper S a fine choice for tooling around, tight track competition, or touring. Rarely do front wheel drive cars stick to the road so precisely as the Mini. Stomp the throttle mid-way through a corner and just hang on, because the Mini just needs to be pointed in the right direction to stay on track.
