This car is the base model, and as you can see from the overview description of all MINI's, there are a few different models. This one has the the 1.6L engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. It has more electronic bells and whistles than I'd care to mention, it's extremely fuel efficient, well engineered, well built, well maintained (all dealer servicing, MINI of Sterling, Virginia), surprisingly roomy, holds it's value, and fun to drive. This is my wife's car. She's the original owner, and we have the title in hand. I believe my wife gravitated toward the MINI when making a car purchase because she lived in Scotland during college. She is also a researcher, and when she bought the car she read many reviews and considered the MINI to be the best value for the money in terms of holding value, fuel efficiency, and features. As a guy who likes cars, does all my own repairs, and values good machinery, I was skeptical about the MINI. But I quickly changed my mind, and was very impressed with how functional, practical, and well designed the car is. The things I like most about the car are: fuel efficiency, zippiness, size (easy to park and turn), roominess inside, handling (very smooth at high speeds), and creature comforts. I drive a 2002 QX4 (Pathfinder) SUV. To my surprise, the MINI is actually not much smaller in terms of length and width than my SUV! It's called a MINI, but it's really not that small. The small cars of the past are way smaller than today's MINIs. There's a good article on the MotorTrend web site from 2012 where they did a comparison of the high-end small cars on the market, and the MINI rated #1: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1202_mini_cooper_vs_scion_tc_vs_honda_crz_vs_volkswagen_beetle_vs_hyundai_veloster_vs_fiat_500_comparison/viewall.html
We have the title in hand, and are up for arranging a test drive if you're in Northern Virginia / DC / Maryland. All servicing has been done at the dealer and they have all of the records on file. The ignition key has a chip that also stores all of the maintenance data.

Mini headed to North Pole to meet Santa Claus
Wed, 07 Nov 2012It seems that retailers are bringing out the Christmas decorations earlier each year, but Mini's premature holiday spirit could be one for the record books. The day after Black Friday, the "Mini Goes to Santa Claus" adventure will depart from BMW headquarters in Munich, Germany and head up Rovaniemi, Finland (just outside the Arctic Circle) to deliver Christmas letters to Santa Claus -he must have an mail outpost here for his North Pole workshop. Guinness World Records is also getting involved with this trek, by competing for a for the longest-ever wish list to Santa.
Mini has assembled teams of vehicles from 16 countries consisting of all of its current models to drive the almost 1,900 miles. Although it won't be a part of the convoy, the Mini Paceman will be in Rovaniemi to welcome the groups along with former rally driver Rauno Aaltonen who will "demonstrate his unequalled talent" while driving the Paceman. We're not exactly sure what this means, but snowy climates and rally drivers always seem to be a recipe for great entertainment to us.
Scroll down for Mini's press release, but we'll have to wait until later in the month to see what should be some pretty cool pictures of the trip.
Mini bringing new 230-hp John Cooper Works to Detroit
Mon, 07 Jul 2014
Mini models may keep getting incrementally bigger, but then so do their engines. Or more powerful, anyway - especially when it comes to the John Cooper Works performance models. The JCW version of the first (post-revival) generation R50, which was really more of an upgraded Cooper S than its own model, packed a 1.6-liter supercharged four with 200 horsepower. The following R56 JCW upped that incrementally to 208 hp, but the next Works hatchback is now rumored to pack around 230 horses.
Tipped to be revealed in both three- and five-door body-styles at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show half a year from now, the F56-gen Mini John Cooper Works hatchback is expected to use the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the new Mini Cooper S, but increasing the output from 189 hp to approximately 230. That would mean it would be more powerful than either of the two previous John Cooper Works GP editions to make the new JCW the most powerful road-going Mini to date, backed by 285 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual or available automatic transmission to deliver what promises to be a blistering pace for the latest retro hatchback.
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.
