An international panel recently recognized the MINI as the runner up as 'Car of the Century', ranking it second only to the Model T Ford as the most important car in the history of the auto.
Pros: Everything. Absolutely everything. The oreall performance, steering, handling, acceleration, interior and exterior materials, and build quality are perfection. And if perfection can be built on, the Cooper S does it. It's even better. The Mini Cooper S is one of NewCarBuyingGuide.com's Top 10 Passenger Cars.
Cons: Pertty much nothing at all. Perhaps the navigation system does detract a little from the styling of the dash board. And navigation is unnecessary anyway -- when you're in a Mini your having an adventure, when you're having an adventure, you're never lost. The run-flat tires make the ride rough. Consider doing without them.
