This car is the base model, and as you can see from the overview description of all MINI's, there are a few different models. This one has the the 1.6L engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. It has more electronic bells and whistles than I'd care to mention, it's extremely fuel efficient, well engineered, well built, well maintained (all dealer servicing, MINI of Sterling, Virginia), surprisingly roomy, holds it's value, and fun to drive. This is my wife's car. She's the original owner, and we have the title in hand. I believe my wife gravitated toward the MINI when making a car purchase because she lived in Scotland during college. She is also a researcher, and when she bought the car she read many reviews and considered the MINI to be the best value for the money in terms of holding value, fuel efficiency, and features. As a guy who likes cars, does all my own repairs, and values good machinery, I was skeptical about the MINI. But I quickly changed my mind, and was very impressed with how functional, practical, and well designed the car is. The things I like most about the car are: fuel efficiency, zippiness, size (easy to park and turn), roominess inside, handling (very smooth at high speeds), and creature comforts. I drive a 2002 QX4 (Pathfinder) SUV. To my surprise, the MINI is actually not much smaller in terms of length and width than my SUV! It's called a MINI, but it's really not that small. The small cars of the past are way smaller than today's MINIs. There's a good article on the MotorTrend web site from 2012 where they did a comparison of the high-end small cars on the market, and the MINI rated #1: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1202_mini_cooper_vs_scion_tc_vs_honda_crz_vs_volkswagen_beetle_vs_hyundai_veloster_vs_fiat_500_comparison/viewall.html
We have the title in hand, and are up for arranging a test drive if you're in Northern Virginia / DC / Maryland. All servicing has been done at the dealer and they have all of the records on file. The ignition key has a chip that also stores all of the maintenance data.

Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?
Fri, Jul 15 2016The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:
John Cooper Works Mini rolls into Detroit, asks 'GTI who?'
Mon, Jan 12 2015Mini marched into the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and introduced its very own competitor to the Volkswagen GTI with new John Cooper Works Hardtop. Blessed with 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet from its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, the new JCW should provide a more thrilling drive than the standard Cooper S (not that the 189-hp model lacked in terms of entertainment value). The 6.4-second sprint to 60 falls to 6.1 in the JCW, while owners should expect an even more agile handling experience courtesy of an uprated version of the Cooper S' sports suspension. Upgraded Brembo brakes, larger wheels and stickier tires and an electronic differential round out the performance upgrades, although Mini also paid significant attention to the aesthetics. A revised aero kit doesn't do the third-generation Works car many favors in the appearance department, but as both driver and front passengers will find themselves in a set of exclusive JCW sports seats, they'll probably be too comfortable and supportive to care. A JCW steering wheel, shift lever, door sills and instrument cluster tweaks mark the extent of the interior updates. Take a look at our full live gallery of images of the new JCW Mini direct from the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The new MINI John Cooper Works. 10.12.2014 - Green light for the latest edition of the top athlete in the small car segment; the new MINI John Cooper Works combines authentic race feeling with the premium characteristics and extended product substance of the latest MINI Generation; distinctive, tradition-steeped, based on a vehicle concept combining MINI and John Cooper Works, with performance qualities which are exceptional within the competitive environment. - Extreme driving fun and exclusive charisma based on technology for engine, suspension and aerodynamics derived directly from motor racing as well as model-specific design features for the exterior and interior; greater differentiation from the MINI 3 door highlights the model's individual character.
BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt
Wed, Aug 30 2017A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.
