Mini Coopers...cool or not

I know very little about cars... I drive a Ford Focus because it was the only car in my price-range that had any head-room.

But when Coopers first started appearing on the streets of my town, I had this inexplicable urge to take a baseball bat and visit grave violence upon them. I've gotten used to them, and have transferred my aesthetic aggression to the Scion and the Element (how can a machine be that ugly?) but I still don't care for them much.

If I were to buy a commuter car, I would test drive several and decide which one felt best against my rump, exterior styling bedamned. If you're going to spend more than an hour in traffic, you want to be comfortable. For all my frivolity, I'm a practical driver, so for me it's all about the cup-holder placement and the stereo system and the cruise-control and the five-way-adjustable seat. Gas mileage is another concern, and for me trunk-space is necessary; but really, who cares what it looks like from the outside? What difference does zero-to-sixty make when you're sitting in stop-and-go traffic all morning?
 
Have to admit, love the mini coopers ever since i saw the Italian Job. Would love to have one in blue or white..
 
To me, a Mini screams "I wanted to look cool so I had to ask my friends if this would be cool enough or not before I bought it."

Just my two cents

How can the Merc SL be un-cool? Clarkson drives one! Albeit the 55AMG...

You have just answered your own question. If Clarkson drives one it, by definition, is uncool. Clarkson wears jacket and jeans. Clarkson is a genius, a broadcasting God, but he is by no means 'cool'.

Well Madonna drives her Mini Cooper,
And she feels Super Dooper,
So it must be cool.

URGENT MEMORANDUM

The Mini Cooper can no longer be considered cool

StarCrasher - why did you just write that post in Haiku? :confused:
 
I have to agree with some of the other guys that a gay guy driving a Mini is more than a little stereotypical.

BUT... they're awesome little cars. I would really only be seen driving an S equipped with a 6-speed. The hopped up manual version, in my oppinion, gives the car that little bit of needed manlyness. Plus, a car like that is begging to have a manual. An automatic in a sporty German car is blasphemy!

As far as that "coolness" list, what the hell? I love Top Gear, but their credibility went way down when they put that awful list out.
 
Personally, I think they are very cute little cars. I don't know if they should be considered "cool".
But, driving here in SoCal...with all the huge SUV's..etc., on the freeways, NO WAY would I have a car that small. My Acura Integra is the smallest I'd ever go in a car.

Mini's have character. Cars like Honds's, Toyota's, Volkswagen's, Nissan's are just so common. they are all okay cars but they have no character. You don't wanna drive tha same thing everybody else drives. Stand out in the crowd, be different, and never follow. Plus get a car that you think is cool. If you like it then go for it because you are the one who has to drive it.

I think Volkswagons have a ton of character. It's a pity that they're FWD, or I'd own one. I agree with you though, I love having a car that seems to have an attitude of its own, and turns heads (not because it's necessarily expensive or flashy, it's just something people don't see every day).
 
Yhea, I guess you're right about Volkswagen's. They do have character but it seems like everyone around here has one. When I was in high school everyone at my school had a Civic or a Jetta. I just had to be different and get a 7 Series. I want my next car to be an Audi A8. Too bad it's $80K and my dad told me that he would never buy me a car again. I'm about $79K short:cry:
