Description
The original Mini Cooper delivered plenty of driving fun and the newer models have continued that tradition. The carʼs low center of gravity and wide stance minimized body lean while cornering. Steering was ultra-quick and responsive. Likewise, shifting the standard-issue six-speed manual transmission was a treat (it was designed by BMW, after all). A six-speed automatic was optional.
