Vehicle Details

LOVE THIS CAR but need to sell it due to an international relocation.

Have MAINTAINED it METICULOUSLY, and DRIVES AND LOOKS SUPERBLY! With its shiny exterior and super clean interior, it looks like a car purchased only a year ago. I can’t think of a better vehicle for city driving and parking (and I’ve tested Fiat 500, Smart, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris): The Mini Cooper S is quite compact and yet can accommodate a surprising amount of luggage (and a pair of 175cm long skis!), especially when the rear seats are brought down.

This car is INCREDIBLY FUN TO DRIVE: accelerates like a bat out of hell thanks to a 170+hp high torque engine and turbocharger. It’s mind-blowing in Sport mode but higher performance comes at a lower (but still impressive) fuel efficiency: average fuel economy drops to ~25mpg from ~30mpg in normal drive mode. On winding roads, this car gives you superhero confidence: the wheels are situated in the very corners of the chassis which combined with car’s extremely low center of gravity make it unbelievably stable in turns. I can write a poem about its handling! :)

Car has heated seats which are a heavenly pleasure on a frosty day.

There are sunroof panels above both front and rear seats for that extra feeling of freedom on a warm day. By design, only the front sunroof retracts fully open.

Maintenance-wise, this car needs nothing but an oil change in another 3k miles.

ENGINE, GEARS AND BRAKES ALL WORK FLAWLESSLY! Changed front brake pads and calipers a couple of years ago. Around same time, installed rather expensive new run-flat Continental tires and there are 10s of thousands of miles left in them. Replaced the front passenger leather seat as airbag sensor stopped working. Changed the timing belt. Cleaned all rust from the undercarriage last year and rustproofed it to protect against salt erosion during winter driving. Replaced headlight lenses for optimal night vision.

In short, this is a STELLAR MINI COOPER S running perfectly!!
