Few brands have as much youthful appeal as Mini does and with the introduction of the facelifted Cooper, Mini will look to entrench its influence in the premium compact car segment. Few brands have as much youthful appeal as Mini does and with the introduction of the facelifted Cooper, Mini will look to entrench its influence in the premium compact car segment. In terms of handling, the Cooper S feels solidly planted on the tar and coupled with its well-weighted and responsive steering, it can be coaxed through corners at heady speeds with relatively little fuss. In fact, the Cooper S is hugely entertaining to drive and you can toggle through 3 driving modes (Green, Mid and Sport) depending on your preference Mini fans will undoubtedly welcome the latest changes to the Cooper range and its expanded feature offering, higher levels of customisation, robust build quality and fun-to-drive character will only solidify the Cooper’s appeal in the premium compact car market. The best feature on this Cooper S is arguably its engine. It’s a lively 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbopetrol unit with peak outputs of 141 kW and 280 Nm of torque and it’s mated with a responsive 6-speed automatic transmission that does a good job of picking the correct ratios when the Mini needs to hustle in and around the city.
