MINI Cooper S (02-06) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 2002 Strapping a supercharger to the MINI Cooper has elevated performance to a level that most other road users don’t expect. Those cutesy looks suggest a funky shopping car. This rather rubs salt into the wounds of other performance car drivers when they get left for dead on a twisty road. It takes a keen eye to pick out the bonnet scoop that is the only reliable visual indication the this is the hot Mini rather than just a tarted-up One. John Cooper can add a ‘Works’ performance pack that makes the MINI virtually untouchable on a country road. 4.5 out of 5 Other MINI reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Honda Civic Type-R (01-05) Rev hungry engine, sharp handling, huge amounts of grip, swift performance Steering lacks feel, boy-racer image, interior feels cheap in places Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Renault Clio Renaultsport (01-05) Performance and involvement Motorway ride is rather harsh Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Peugeot 206 GTi (99-06) Enjoyable ride and handling.
