Reviews of the 2010 Mini Cooper S

The Good: The Mini Cooper S is one of the best-handling compact cars we've tested. Acceleration is surprisingly good and steering is quick and direct, particularly with Sport mode activated. Wide arrays of technology and performance upgrades are available as options.

The Bad: Fully optioned, the Cooper S can get quite expensive. The ride is harsh and turbo lag is an issue. Cabin controls are scattered confusingly around the dashboard. Navigation is DVD-based and Bluetooth doesn't feature audio streaming or phonebook import.

The Bottom Line: The Mini Cooper S can be polarizing with its style over substance cabin and harsh, performance-oriented ride, but with a list of options longer than the car itself, it's easy to make the Cooper your own.

this bitch is a dumbass lol

[TearsForMyPeople]

lady get your facts straight if your going to critique cars, the center dial is based on the fact that the mini was originally a racing car. The center dial was placed in the center so the navigator could see the speed etc while helping the driver navigate through the city while racing.

i think she'd be better off in a big old luxury car given her complaints. She whines about the things that make it fun to drive.

@TearsForMyPeople I thought the mini was designed in response to the Suez Crisis as a practical, efficient economy car and alternative to the BMW Isetta. I also thought the sports application only really started up after John Cooper joined Alec Issigonis in 1961 to design the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. Well, at least you know more about the Cooper than this woman does...

Lady you sound like you just read your speech, if you don't know cars go "dislike" a vacuum cleaner or something. Dang I can't stand critics.

Pretty sure there is a reason this video is not longer on CNET's Youtube channel.

How can you give this woman a car to review if she doesn't even know how to drive?!

This lady must drive a Corolla. She is obviously not a car enthusiast, otherwise she'd not be annoyed by this DRIVER'S car.
