Car Reviews: 2009 Mini Cooper

Most consumers look at a small sized automobile and automatically assume it has a small price and bare-bones features, That consumer would be dead wrong if they saw a 2009 Mini Cooper, although not extremely cheap, it is reasonably priced with a ton of advanced features. Starting at a manufacturers suggested retail price of $19,200 the 2009 Mini Cooper is actually quite a bargain, considerate of it being a sports/luxury/economy car all in one. With gas mileage of 28 miles per gallon in the city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway, the 2009 Mini Cooper will save a good deal of money at the pump.

The overall performance of the 2009 Mini Cooper is excellent, with a 1.6 Liter overhead cam, 16-valve 4 cylinder engine and a 6 speed manual transmission. With a MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and electric variable power assisted steering the 2009 Mini Cooper rides and maneuvers well. 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes with electronic brake distribution and all season traction control make this car a dependable ride in all conditions.

On the exterior the 2009 Mini Cooper offers 15 inch allot wheels with a 5-star spooler design, a chrome grille and body color sport bumpers. Top this off with a single chrome tailpipe, wide opening front doors and hatch, and power exterior mirrors and the 2009 Mini Cooper will turn some heads.

On the interior the 2009 Mini Cooper is full of comfort, style and class. 6 way adjustable seats with adjustable headrests, leatherette upholstery, and ambient lighting set the mood nicely. A 3 spoke leather steering wheel with a tilt steering wheel column and an on board computer that indicates fuel, speed and outside temperature are incredible. The sound system in the 2009 Mini Cooper consists of an AM/FM stereo with a CD player and 6 quality speakers. The final touches are a vehicle monitor system with a pictogram display, an electronic digital clock and 3 cup holders.

For most people who purchase a smaller car safety is important, and the 2009 Mini Cooper is loaded with quality safety features. Driver and front passenger front and side airbags, advanced crumple zones and side impact door beams protect occupants well. Remote keyless entry and an engine immobilizer are features most often found on more expensive vehicles, but on the 2009 Mini Cooper they are standard.

Al in all, a consumer would be hard pressed to find a better combination of positive attributes than are present in the 2009 Mini Cooper.
