#MiniCooperS

Does practicality inevitably lead to compromising on driving dynamics?

For better or worse, MINI has come a long way. While the company used to be known for small and affordable compacts, its expanded range of cars are larger than ever before and carry an equally larger price tag. But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed about the new MINI, and that’s how much fun it delivers.

If you were in the market for high performance in a small package, which model would you choose, a MINI Cooper S or the Ford Fiesta ST?

MINI and John Cooper Works Tuning just unveiled its lineup of accessories for the new Cooper.

MINI introduces its newest Cooper model this year and with it are plenty of new options and accessories.
