The 2005 Mini Cooper S


In review after review, people have compared the 2005 Mini Cooper and the supercharged Mini Cooper S to little more than an adult-sized go-cart. Such a characterization does a great injustice to car whose entire raison d'etre is cool because were it not for the cool-factor the Mini wouldn't have stood a chance in the land of SUVs and Detroit muscle cars.

The fact that the base Mini and the S come with a well-appointed and designed interior and with great performance may surprise the casual consumer who has only heard of the Cooper in relation to its similarity to a golf cart and its Spartan British origins. Fortunately, much has changed since its first incarnation on the other side of the pond and in its current form it offers "BMW-engineered suspension and steering...[many] comfort and safety features, hatchback utility, free scheduled maintenance for three years/36,000 miles." Sounds like a pretty great deal for under $20K off the lot.

Now that you've been thoroughly schooled in the technical underpinnings of the 2005 Mini Cooper's cool I can move onto the photographic evidence. Adnan was kind enough to provide his installed photos of the pre-cut visor we offer for the rebate program we run. One word of caution however that took bith us and Adnan by surprise: some models of the Mini Cooper S come with a rain sensor that must be accounted for when applying the visor. This was something we were not previously aware and should be added to our descriptions on our next revision. Nonetheless, the pictures are pretty stunning and it appears he did a great job. Enjoy!
