Very special and beautiful 2006 Mini Cooper S, turbo, 500 hp, fully loaded, first owner, runs and looks like new. Some features include: PERFORMANCE: Small size can make a vehicle seem faster than it really is, but in the Cooper S's case there is no illusion. It's quick, with a 0-60 time of 6.87 seconds, and it's fast, with a top speed of over 130 mph. Fueleconomy is very reasonable, with EPA ratings of 25 city, 32 highway. I got 25 overall, with my foot to the floor as much as possible, and I've gotten 30 in highway driving in the last S I had. The modern Cooper's fuel-injected, twin-cam, 16-valve four-cylinder engine would have been exotic technology in the day of the original's 8-valve pushrod unit with SU carburetors, and the S gets a power boost to 168 horsepower (at 6000 rpm) and 162 lb-ft of torque (at 4000 rpm) from a mechanically-driven supercharger. It gets to the front wheels with a minimum of fuss by way of a six-speed gearbox with excellent, precise linkage and equal-length halfshafts, to banish torque steer. There is decent low-end power, but the engine likes to rev, and higher in the rev range the supercharger does its best, with a noticeable whine and solid kick. A Cooper S is the closest thing to a street-legal shifter kart going. SAFETY: Minis have maxi safety features, starting with a strong unibody structure with a safety cell around the passenger compartment and front and rear crumple zones. Dual front, front side, and side head curtain airbags are standard, as are four-wheel antilock disc brakes. Dynamic stability control is available.
