Engineered by BMW, the new 2010 Mini Cooper
is one of the most interesting looking cars
on the road today. This is the reason Mini
Cooper dealers have been kept hopping busy
filling orders for this hot little sport
sedan. The brainchild of auto designer Frank
Stephenson, the Mini offers performance and
style in a compact package that’s a natural
alternative to the giant, gas-guzzling SUVs
of today.

The new 2010 Mini Cooper comes in two models
the barebones Cooper, and the more sophisticated
Cooper S. We have been excitedly preparing our
2010 Mini Cooper review in response to the remarkable
renewed interest this automobile has created.
It only seems appropriate that we also unveil
a Mini Cooper picture that reveals the changes
for 2010. This is the best site for other 2010
Mini pictures and info as well, so please look
around!
For
a tiny car, the Mini Cooper packs quite a punch.
The basic Cooper model comes standard with a 1.6-liter,
transverse 4-cylinder, supercharged engines that
produces 115 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and delivers
110 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,500 rpm. The
Mini Cooper S comes standard with a 1.6-liter,
transverse 4-cylinder, supercharged engines that
produces 163 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and delivers
155 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,000 rpm. We
offer additional Mini Cooper specs, too. For starters,
both vehicles boast six-speed manual transmissions
that deliver fluid and aggressive shifting. The
cars also offer 16-inch alloy tires with standard
run-flat tires, which provide unbelievable grip
and very believable conscience. Finally, of course,
theres the overall 2010 Mini Cooper performance
with a top speed of 124 mph, the car can
go from zero to sixty in less than nine seconds.
Truly unbelievable.
A centered speedometer, crossbar door casings,
and a two-spoke steering wheel, make the cabin
of a Mini Cooper unlike anything youve ever
driven before. For those who desire a bit more
driving excitement, 2010 Mini Cooper accessories,
known formally as Mini Motoringgear, are available
from links to online suppliers listed on our home
page. Act now.
Still,
everything about the 2010 Mini Cooper comes back
to looks. On the outside, the new models offer
add-on spats, or fenders, that differ from the
color of the car itself, creating a contrast that
accentuates the vehicles compact size. The
cars also offer a sleek look that includes rear
support pillars behind the exterior glass, a look
thats lost with the more conventional C-pillar.
Inside, this alternative look continues with dashboard
toggle switches, a typical feature of classic
British cars, and spherical air vents. Racing
gloves and silk scarf are two Mini accessories
that don't come standard.
Surprisingly,
for a car as small as this one, the 2010 Mini
Cooper toy-sized car offers a number of active
and passive safety features. Active features include
four-wheel antilock brakes, electro-hydraulic
power-assisted steering, and cornering brake control.
Passive features include a crash sensor system,
advanced crumple zones, and six standard airbags.
All told, the Mini has earned a four-star safety
rating from the National Highway Transportation
and Safety Administration, and a Best Pick
designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety. Check back periodically for the latest
Mini Cooper review information and specs which
we update monthly. For a Mini price quote, or
