Mini: Cooper S 2006, 6 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a perfectly maintained 2006 MINI Cooper S. I am the original owner, and after many years of great service as a commuter vehicle, I am putting the car up for sale. I purchased the car brand new at Brecht MINI of San Diego, where the car was serviced and maintained in a timely fashion. The MINI comes with great safety features, such as driver, passenger, and side airbags, as well as automatic stability control (ASC) ABS breaks. In addition, there is a cruise control system, front and rear fog lamps and xenon headlights. There is also an ipod cable for connecting your music. Overall the car is great condition and fun to drive. It is a good fit for both tall and shorter people, as the cab has loads of headroom and the seats adjust both vertically and horizontally. This car is a great find for anyone looking to enjoy their driving experience in a stylish, safe and responsive vehicle.
Interior and exterior condition: The interior is in great condition, and there are only some minor scratches on the exterior paint, including a dent on the left rear bumper. The black factory decal racing stripes on the hood are fading, but they can be easily removed or replaced.There are some sap drops on the roof. The driver's seat has some normal wear and tear cracking in the original upholstery. Major service information: Most recently, the crank pulley and the original factory battery were replaced in January 2014. The exhaust system suspension brackets and the hydraulic engine mount was replaced in 2012. |

The original Mini Cooper still has universal appeal
Wed, 10 Sep 2014It sold over five million units. It was voted the second most influential car of the last century, bested only by the pioneering Ford Model T. It counted among its owners Steve McQueen, Enzo Ferrari and Peter Sellers. It is the classic Mini.
The tiny, two-box, four-seat hatch is an automotive icon of the first order and it's high time it featured in an episode of Petrolicious. Of course, the video gurus did it right, filming this handsome 1971 Mini, which has been modified to accommodate the 1,275-cc four-cylinder from the Mini Cooper S of the time.
Its owner, Sumner Norman, describes life with his right-hand-drive, UK-spec Mini. Naturally, he points out some of the idiosyncrasies inherent with a car built under the guise of British Leyland, including some of well known reliability woes, which he says is the car "going British." Mostly, though, he just seems to have a good time with the little hatch.
2014 Mini John Cooper Works Paceman All4
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The One Mini Should Have Taken Rallying
It needs to be said: Mini using the Countryman as their World Rally Championship racer's bodystyle of choice has done them no favors on the marketing front. And that's what it's all about in motorsports these days: marketing and image. We have just driven the 2014 Mini John Cooper Works Paceman All4 through Frankfurt's surrounding rural areas, and even in thick snow where few souls dared to tread, it has singularly rekindled some faith in the John Cooper Works sub-brand - a glorious name whose credibility has been threatened by portly and somewhat pointless products like the JCW Countryman.
The JCW Paceman is a little quicker than its Countryman relative, a little lighter, hunkered down lower, and better looking. We can't say we're crazy anymore about the stock Chili Red details and black exterior they keep showing us at these launches, but that's just paint. Then there's that projected pricing of $36k-plus that puts us on the verge of yelling "¡No mas!" But the All4 system on our 215-horsepower Paceman worked extremely well when paired with a set of exceptional Pirelli Sottozero Winter 210 Serie II tires (sized 205/55 R17 91H all around). The combination of all-wheel drive and good rubber encouraged us to gradually up the average speed and enthusiasm the further we drove along.
Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.
