2010 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Clubman Wagon 3-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Katy, Texas, United States
|
This vehicle is a true one of a kind and it has been treated as such by me, its meticulous owner. I bought the vehicle with only 3,000 miles on it from a Ford dealership in FL who had received it on trade-in for a less expensive vehicle when its original owner was struggling to keep up with the payments. This car has been great and has never had a single issue. It averages 32 miles per gallon for my blend of in-town and highway driving. The vehicle interior and exterior are in perfect condition with only the following cosmetic blemishes accumulated over its 44,500 miles: (1) minor door ding drivers side less than the size of a dime, (1) very small door ding passenger side which can only be seen if you know where to look and at a specific angle, (1) minor rock chip in the windshield professionally repaired by Safelite, (1) tiny scuff on one rim (less than an inch long & 1/8" wide)... and that's it... The vehicle has never had any fender benders or been in an accident and has never been to a body shop for any work at all. I really love this vehicle and am sad that I have to sell it. I am doing so in order to accommodate my growing family, who no longer will all fit in either of our efficiently sized vehicles for our annual cross-country road trip to see family. The Mini you are looking at offers great versatility with its barn door rear, extremely large cargo area (for a 33 mpg efficiency vehicle), and hidden trailer hitch. I've used the hidden hitch to tow a little six foot trailer when necessary to pick up odd-ball things for the home like mulch, furniture, wood, plants, etc. The versatility of my Mini has basically kept me from having to buy a SUV or a truck for the last several years while still allowing me to drive a greatly efficient, FUN vehicle... I would do anything to keep the Mini but I can't exactly ask my wife, our newborn baby, or our two large dogs to ride the trailer on our next road trip.. So my loss is your gain and an outstanding vehicle is hereby offered at an outstanding price.

Electric Mini tows a Boeing 777 airplane, because why not?
Fri, May 31 2019Car manufacturers seem to love hitching up to massive planes. Even Mini is getting onboard with the trend, and it's using a camouflaged version of the electric Mini on its way. Now, we saw the Mini Cooper S E completely uncovered a few days ago in spy photos, so make sure to check those out to see what the car will really look like. If it's the plane pulling you're after, watch the video above. Mini collaborated with Lufthansa on this one. The airliner provided a Boeing 777F freight aircraft for the stunt. That airplane has an unladen weight of approximately 150 tons, or just about 300,000 pounds. Needless to say, it's safely over whatever towing rating Mini is going to give its electric car. This Mini doesn't pull the airplane far, but it's enough to prove the brand's point: Electric equals lots of torque. Like we mentioned before, others have pulled off a similar stunt. A few notable examples include the Toyota Tundra towing the space shuttle for 12 miles, Porsche hauling an Airbus 380 with various Cayennes and then a Tesla Model X pulling a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The Model X is most like Mini's stunt, since it's also an electric vehicle. We'll note that the airplane towed by the Mini is also far lighter than that towed by the Tesla. Still, to have enough torque and traction to move a 300,000-pound airplane is impressive, and if nothing else, it's entertaining to watch. Reports have indicated that the new electric Mini will share the BMW i3's powertrain and battery pack, so that means it may have required only 168 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque to pull this off.
Next Mini Convertible spotted on flatbed truck
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Mini is well underway testing the third-generation of its four-place Cooper Convertible, as evidenced by these photos, showing the new droptop riding along on a flatbed.
Codenamed the F57 - as opposed to the "F56" designation for the Hardtop - the Convertible will ride on the same UKL front-drive architecture that will underpin its hardtop brother, not to mention its German cousins, the BMW 1 Series GT and X1. According to our spies, it'll share more than a few of the BMW i's lightweight technologies and will include such advanced features as electronically adjustable dampers. That seems like some high-dollar tech for a droptop Mini, but we'd be quite happy to see it arrive all the same.
From the beltline down, we can expect the Convertible to feature almost identical styling to the Hardtop. Based on the spy photos, there's not a lot to see above the belt line, either. The roof carries roughly the same shape, and will probably fold in a similar Z-pattern to the current canvas top.
Mini to offer a double-clutch transmission, but not in U.S.
Fri, Dec 22 2017Mini has padded next year's option sheet with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, so long as you're not buying in America. Available for the three-door, five-door, and convertible Mini models using "selected engine types," the DCT will provide a third transmission option after the standard six-speed manual and six-speed Steptronic automatic. Minis fitted the twin-clutch will be known by the meaty new gearshift lever that, BMW style, returns to its central position after the car's put into gear. A button at the top of the lever activates Park. Sensibly, you push the lever forward to downshift, and pull it back to upshift. When a buyer springs for navigation and the DCT, the transmission taps into map routing data and camera images to hone shift programming; the gearbox will downshift early when approaching a turn, or read a series of bends to know when to shift and when to hold steady. Fitted with a crawl function for ease of use in stop-and-go traffic, the DCT additionally supports stop/start, and coasting in Mid and Green driving modes for those times the driver takes his foot off the accelerator. For the time being, though, we're not invited to the party. Mini USA Communications Manager Mariella Kapsaskis told Motor1 that manufacturing the wet-clutch, dual-mass flywheel DCT "takes up lots of capacity." Which is the automaker equivalent of being told, "We're just not that into you right now." We expect that would change at some point; however, some of Mini's most sporting U.S. competitors also don't offer DCTs, so who knows.
