The 2007 MINI Cooper, part of the second-generation, is a beloved compact car with substantial character and driving zest. Framed for its go-kart-like handling, the car is FWD and is equipped with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine that produces 118 horsepower. A sportier S version bolsters performance with a turbocharged engine, granting 172 horsepower. Both versions of the car feature a six-speed manual transmission, with an optional six-speed automatic. The car comes in two trims: Cooper and Cooper S, each offering unique features. The base Cooper hosts premium vinyl upholstery, keyless entry, and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player. The Cooper S adds sport seats and alloy pedals. Notable safety features of the 2007 MINI Cooper include anti-lock brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags, and full-length side curtain-type airbags. The MINI's unique compact size along with the classic British stylings make it very popular among those looking for a fun and stylish alternative in the small car segment.
