2003 Mini Cooper S 1.6l Turbo - Electric Blue W/ White Top - Black Leather on 2040-cars
Matthews, North Carolina, United States
|
Great combination of the gorgeous and uncommon Electric Blue Metallic color with white roof, white mirror caps, and white X-Lite V-Spoke wheels (factory Mini wheels, not aftermarket). Even more uncommon are the front AND rear white racing stripes - almost all Mini Coopers with stripes only have them on the front. The windows are tinted and do not exceed the maximum legal tint in North Carolina. It is a 6-speed manual transmission with a 1.6L supercharged 4 cylinder engine. It gets great gas mileage, about 22 city and 31 highway. Because of the light weight and the supercharged engine, it can really get moving when you need it to. It has a surprising amount of power and torque in first gear and can easily start from a stand-still even in second gear. As far as manual transmissions go, this is a very easy one to drive and would be a great car for learning to drive stick. The car is in great condition for its age. As you can see from the pictures, the leather interior is generally in fantastic shape. The front seats do show some signs of wear on the sides, but are otherwise in great condition. The rear seats have rarely been used and are in like-new condition. The paint has been well cared-for and shows no signs of oxidation or fading. It really shines like a new penny, especially in the sun. There are some minor scrapes and rock-marks that are shown up-close in the pictures, but are not noticeable from a few feet away. There are three issues with the vehicle that you should know about before bidding. First, as you can see in the pictures, the car was in a low-speed (~5mph) parking lot collision about two months ago that damaged the front driver's side bumper area. The car is still fine mechanically, but there is a small dent in the bumper and a slightly larger dent in the sheet metal beside the headlight. Secondly, the heat does not work. We haven't bothered to get it fixed because we don't drive the car in cold weather. The A/C compressor was replaced about two years ago with a used compressor. Finally, the sunroof sometimes rattles. When it starts, we usually crack the sunroof and the noise vanishes completely. |

Mini 're-evaluating' relationship with Abby Wambach following DUI arrest
Mon, Apr 4 2016Mini USA is "re-evaluating" its relationship with former US Women's National Soccer Team star Abby Wambach after the 35-year-old was arrested for driving under the influence on Sunday morning. Wambach was just one of the athletes that joined Mini's recently launched "Defy Labels" campaign. She was driving a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover – not a Mini – at the time of the arrest. "We're obviously concerned about the alleged DUI attributed to Abby Wambach. This behavior is against the values we promote as an organization and the safety of everyone on the road is a priority here at Mini," the company said in an official statement obtained by Automotive News. "Because of this, we are re-evaluating her association with the brand and are pulling content that individually features Abby from our marketing. We will continue to assess the situation and weigh our options." Wambach was arrested in Portland, OR after running a red light in her Range Rover. Her blood alcohol content was not released by the Portland Police Bureau, although she was described as "polite and courteous" throughout the affair, according to a statement.

Mini lifts veil on refreshed Countryman in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014When Mini introduced the Countryman in 2010, it emerged as the brand's first crossover, its first five-door model and its first to offer all-wheel drive. It also arrived mid-lifecycle in the last generation of Mini Cooper hatchback, with which it shares little more than a passing family resemblance. Now that the Anglo-Saxon automaker is moving on to its third generation of retro hatch, it's given the Countryman a bit of a refresh to keep it current.
Unveiled today at the New York Auto Show, the new Countryman incorporates some very minor cosmetic tweaks to the exterior - so minor, in fact, that you'd be hard pressed to tell one from the other even if viewed side by side. Some subtle enhancements have been implemented to the interior as well, where the large central speedometer remains where it was in the middle of the dashboard (unlike the new Cooper hatch that moves it to where you'd normally find the instrument cluster, behind the steering wheel). The rear seats, however, offer more adjustability.
Mini will offer the new Countryman worldwide in an array of powertrain configurations, ranging from the bare-bones Mini One Countryman with a 1.6-liter naturally-aspirated four offering just 98 horsepower all the way up to the twin-turbo John Cooper Works with 218 hp - North American customers will get the latter, but not the former. The mid-range Cooper S has been enhanced by seven horses to deliver 190 hp, while overseas-only diesel models range from 90 hp to 143. Buyers will be able to choose between a six-speed manual or automatic and front-or all-wheel drive. There are also some new colors on offer and a host of optional equipment, all of which you can read about in the press release below.
Spy shots show Mini Cooper facelift
Wed, May 10 2017Mini is planning some slight visual changes to the Mini Cooper lineup, and our spy photographer caught the convertible and Cooper S out in the wild wearing minimal camouflage. As the changes will be subtle, there's not a lot that needs covering up, as we can see from the light bits of swirly camo worn by these two testers. Up front, it looks like might make some light touchups to the lighting and the front edge of the hood, which are covered by decals. In back, the rear lighting, top of the bumper, and the horizontal piece that is home to the rear Mini badge are disguised, but any changes there will also be very slight. It's what we don't see in the photos that will get the most important updates. Mechanically, it's possible that a revised turbocharging system and cooling system could help with emissions and provide a small boost to output. From styling standpoint, we can expect a couple of new paint colors and wheel designs, as well as some new interior options and mood lighting.
