Mini Take Two
HISTORY
Instead of delving into the long history of the original vague and irrelevant title = "sell my mini"> Mini, year zero for the "new MINI began in April 2001. Built at Cowley in the UK under the auspices of BMW, MINI was a great success, starting at the base A Cooper and costumes and spawning several hot versions and a diesel and a convertible. His replacement was introduced in late 2006 to replace this model, but this fact may have escaped many uninformed consumers.
BMW estimated that there was little benefit in the long exterior design changes and concentrated on making the MINI easier to live with. With a better engine, more interior space and adding a version Clubman Estate in 2008 to increase the hatch and convertible models, the MINI star continues to rise.
A first entry level models with a 75bhp 1.4-liter engine came in 2009.
What you get
So How can you identify the next generation vehicle, encoded by the R56 MINI? Although the position remains the same, there has been a relaxation of the band. The Cooper model, for example, is 60 mm longer. The front grille is tidier and the indicators are currently in the sheath of the headlights. car's shoulder line is 18 mm higher than the previous model, giving the latest version a more hunched, powerful appearance. It's inside the MINI that more obvious improvements have been made.
Gone are those indicators that felt like I was cutting a pen every time you use them. The speedometer mounted in the center of home entertainment and, if specified, navigation functions. The slimmed-down center console offers more space for the feet while the key was replaced by a round signal sensor that slot next to the steering wheel. A start / stop button is also standard.
One of the most intriguing, though frivolous, aspects of the package interior Optional light that offers personalized mood lighting. A panel of toggle switches in the roof lining allows the driver to change the colors of the lights in the roof lining, door storage pockets and handle recess. These can be changed at any time in five stages from warm orange to facilities sporting blue, depending on personal taste – crazy, but undeniably funky. Rear seat space, a large part of MINI customers complain has been improved with recessed knee cut fabric-trimmed front seat backs.
WHAT YOU PAY
The 1.4-liter One was introduced in early 2007 and open at around £ 10,025 for a base specification car. Most owners chose the salt or pepper packets add £ 300 and £ 500 respectively. The 1.6-liter models MINI form the bulk of our roads and July 1 silver One retails at £ 8,925. A little more than £ 9,850 will get you into the first of the 1.6-liter and you need Coopers £ 10,900 to find a land himself ordered 56 Silver Cooper S. A 1.6-liter diesel Cooper D retails at £ 11,725 on a board 07. Insurance ranges from a MINI One Group5 hatch to Group 16 for a Cooper S Convertible.
WHAT SEARCH
Many of the teething problems that affected the previous generation title = "sell my mini"> MINI has been laid to rest with the latest cars. The petrol engines of 1.6 liters, built in the United Kingdom in Hams Hall and shared with Peugeot are among the best in their class and have shown a good deal more robust than the 1.6-liter engines of the older car. Similarly, the interior quality has moved in leaps and bounds. When the old car often twitter like the tail of a Girls Aloud concert, the last car seems to be built of sterner stuff. rates Customer reliability suggest that homeowners are happier with this generation model as well.
SPARE PARTS
A clutch assembly is about 130 pounds. Front brake pads are around £ 40, a full exhaust about £ 360, an alternator around £ 100 and a tire around £ 40. A starter motor is about £ 120. A headlamp is about £ 165.
ON THE ROAD
The engine line of research merits. One uses a 95bhp 1.4-liter diesel engine while the MINI Cooper D also offers great improvement. Cars that have caused the greatest outcry, Cooper and Cooper S, both versions use the same 1.6-liter powerplant. The normally aspirated Cooper is in this time it is powered by a 120bhp engine that will get it from rest to 60 mph in 8.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 126 mph. The Cooper S gets a turbo intercooled version of this engine is good for 175bhp and clearance through 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 140 mph.
Consumption fuel, both variants Cooper has been enhanced by improving the efficiency of this modern 1.6-liter engine. The figure for the combined cycle is 48.7mpg Cooper (formerly 40.9) while the Cooper S was a real pig if they were loaded with the right foot but the figure is now 40.9mpg. As with any fuel economy figure, the results the real world are usually around fifteen to twenty percent less. I clearly remember driving an old Cooper S on the track once and get 11mpg over a tank full! If the economy is their number one priority, the 64mpg Cooper D will be difficult to overcome.
Electromechanical power steering (EPAS) debuts in this version of the MINI and aims to reduce parking effort (a factor that turns a proportion of potential customers mostly women), but still maintain high accuracy at high speed. Although the drivers concerned in the first lament the loss of the old system, the last configuration, at least, decorated Sport weight increases the steering and throttle gives a more aggressive map.
Also fitted as standard on Cooper models are run flat tires. These are equipped with the S versions specified with copper alloy wheels of 16 inches. These tires have a range of at least 90 miles in the case of a puncture means also valuable space on the car is not absorbed by packaging a spare wheel.
GLOBAL
Even the most deluded optimist could have predicted quite how successful the MINI has proven since its launch in 2001. The transition to German ownership was handled with care and sensitivity to the heart and soul of the remaining British car. On this occasion, the MINI range has eliminated the defects with Teutonic efficiency. As demonstrated with Rolls-Royce, Bentley and now MINI Germans are best in the British automotive industry are nothing but a used MINI is more than enough fun to compensate for this somewhat depressing.
