2008 MINI Cooper S Base 2dr Convertible

Overview

The MINI Cooper S provides a satisfying combination of fun-to-drive performance, a distinctive bulldog appearance, and custom ordering of a variety of trim and color options at a very reasonable price. The front-wheel drive Cooper S is available in either a two-door hatchback or a two-door soft-top convertible bodystyle. The hatchback was redesigned for the 2007 model year, which gave it an all-new turbocharged 1.6-liter 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine capable of 172-hp and mated to a six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed automatic. The convertible soldiers on unchanged since its release in 2005 with a 168-hp supercharged 1.6-liter engine bolted to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Standard safety features include six airbags on the hatchback, four on the convertible, ABS, run-flat tires, traction control and stability control on the convertible. Features such as Xenon headlights, Park Distance Control, stability control (hatchback), rain sensing wipers and front and rear fog lights are optional. The 2008 MINI Cooper S's are a carryover from 2007.
