The new 2008 2009 Mini Cooper comes in two models – the barebones Cooper, and the more sophisticated Cooper S. We have been excitedly preparing our 2008 2009 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 2008 2009. This is the best site for other 2008 2009 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, there’s the overall 2008 2009 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 you’ve ever driven before. For those who desire a bit more driving excitement, 2008 2009 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 2008 2009 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 vehicle’s compact size. The cars also offer a sleek look that includes rear support pillars behind the exterior glass, a look that’s 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 2008 2009 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.
