After a full redesign last year, the new Cooper has a fresh look with the same funky personality we’ve come to love.
The Mini Cooper’s legacy and recognizability make it hard for the company to make any significant changes to the little car. Any major deviations from the decades-old formula immediately starts ruffling feathers in the purist community. Even so, Mini redesigned the icon last year, giving it a new engine and updated tech. The new cars retain the feel and styling that have made them famous. - a feat worth praising. Now in its second generation, the new Mini Cooper has more power and a wide range of available customization options.
The 2008 Mini Cooper is available in two trim levels and two body styles: Cooper hardtop, Cooper S hardtop, Cooper Convertible, and Cooper S Convertible.
The Mini Cooper is aimed at car buyers that want a vintage-inspired design in a modern package. The Cooper competes with a mixed bag of cars that includes the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Mazda 3, Audi A3, and even the Chrysler PT Cruiser.

I really dont know where to start with this car. Its amazing in every way. If your a fan of back road driving and twisty turns this is it! It might not be a family car because of the lack of space but for a personal car this one should be on the top along with the other minis in its class. The performance on this MINI is top notch with handling like a professional race car. A modified suspension from MINI factory to give it tight turns and feeling in the wheel. There is total control with this car. The supercharger and cold air intake with the reduction pulley give this car top performance in the racing field. Always power under the hood no matter what speed you are at. If you are looking for a fun over all car to get you from home to work or school or anywhere while looking sporty this is it. The style of the MINI has a fun cheerful attitude with loads of goodness inside. I have never had a dull moment with this car! SO MUCH FUN!! The gas milage is sweet when you drive it normally or even hard every now and then. There is a larger blind spot in the back because of the smaller window but its no big deal when you have side mirrors with the extra wide viewing mirrors too. I can say for sure I feel really safe in this car as well. The body is reenforced to support the convertible as well as airbags everywhere needed. I love this car thats the most I can say. :) I know you will love it too. If you are a MINI person then any mini will do really but this one is extra special with almost everything you can have in the mini! :)

I've been very impressed with the drivablity of the Mini. I drove a Miata for years and thought that no other car would make me as happy as my Miata did, but I was wrong! It is a completely different drive from the Miata, but just as fun!

This is my dream car!! Everytime I accelerate I feel as if I am racing someone, the engine revs up and its just amazing!! MINI has great road-side assistance and the people always have you in mind when dealing with any issues. The gas mileage is unbelievable! 32 city 40 highway. It is adorable and yet fierce at the same time, and no two MINI's are alike, sooo many custom options!! BUY ONE, YOU'LL LOVE IT!

The acceleration and handling is awesome for the size of the car. Parking would not be a problem. The ride is pretty sporty, feels like you're driving inside an R/C car, but its def. fun to drive.
