If this is your first time purchasing a Mini then you should know all the models of Mini.

Mini Cooper- The most fuel-efficient and basic gasoline engine.

Mini Cooper S JCW- John Cooper Works is a factory installed tuning kit to get even more power out of your Mini.

Mini Cooper Clubman- An extended version of the Cooper. About 6 inches longer.

Mini Cooper Clubman S- A Turbocharged version of theClubman. Alsocancomewith JCW package.

Mini Countryman- A four door SUV version of the Cooper.

Mini Countryman S- Turbocharged Countryman. Not yet but soon to be JCW.

The Mini was reborn by BMW in 2002 creating the New first generation MINI.There were onlythethree models; Cooper, CooperS, and Mini Cooper JCW.The Cooperhas 115HPand got about

38 mpg. The Cooper S has 163HP with 33 miles per gallon. The JCW jumpedto 200HP and still has 30MPG under its belt.The S and JCW first generationareSupercharged.

I am a proud owner of a 2003 Mini Cooper S. Mine has 58,000 miles on it and it still feels as new as the day I bought it. I get about 30-31 in town when I have the price of fuel on mind. Otherwise full throttling it most of the time and slamming throughthegears I get about 22 miles per gallon.

The second generation Cooper has 118HP with 40 MPG. S model has 172 HP and 36 miles per gallon. The JCW has a whooping 208 horse power and stillmanages to get 33 miles per gallon.

The Clubman's have the same engine as the regular coopers but slightly lower 0-60 times and miles per gallon being longer and heavier than the original.

Now on to the Countryman. The base model has 121 horse power and gets 35 on the freeway.The S model has 181 HP and with its All Wheel Drive system it gets 31 MPG.

I absolutely love these wonderful vehicles. I would own each oneof these if I got thechance. Theyhavepersonality and zing. They are reliable, fun, and get great gas mileage.They may not bethe fastest cars in the world on paper, but when you get behind thewheel of oneof these badboys they sure do feel like it.The car feel very well made and it grips to the road like a Porsche.

The JCW has earned a spot right next to cars like Ferrari and Lamborgini in my opinion.
