Mini Cooper S first series (2001-2007)
First generation Mini Cooper S modern era (from 2001 to 2007) 1.6-liter four-cylinder engineI am with a volumetric compressor from 163 CV power; not much by today's standards, but don't put too much emphasis on the data. The positive displacement compressor guarantees constant torque at very low rpms, and the throttle response is instantaneous. The English car is so stable and stands on the ground that it does not lose a minimum of speed when cornering, which makes it an efficient and very interesting car today. Steering is direct and precise as well as rich Contact Us, While Manual Transmission the six-speed transmission has short and dry shots that are a real pleasure.

It's hard to say that this is a new series, given the similarities with the first: you need to sharpen your eyes to distinguish them, but in the end, when you get used to it, you recognize it instinctively.
Under the hood, there is a more significant difference: the four-cylinder remains XNUMX, but this time it uses a more conventional spiral turbine, the power rises to 174 CV and productivity is greatly increased. Dynamically, the two generations are very similar: the second series is slightly more comfortable, but the shock calibration remains hostile to holes and disconnects; in steering instead, it is lighter and more accurate, even if it loses a little in sensation with the help of electricity. This Cooper S It seems to be much faster, too, but it's a heightened feeling from the harder acceleration of the turbo.
In any case, you have the feeling in your hands that you have in your hands a more durable and modern machine, better equipped and a little more comfortable.
