MINI Cooper S: The Interior

The impression that this car belongs to the elite is only emphasized when look inside. Original aluminium-trimmed door from the inside and stylish step plate with "Cooper S" engraved on it speak of it.

To find yourself in the Mini Cooper S after sitting in the Mini is like get out of the cart and to get into a limo. First of all, the car is much larger, second of all, it is much more comfortable, and third of, it is provided with various electronic options like climate control and what not.

Mini Cooper S is one of the most capacious cars of this English range sold on the market nowadays. It has a more rigid suspension and a 6-speed manual gearbox Getrag.

The engine features a rotary supercharger Roots and can put out 170 hp. What is more, the car looks incredibly stylish and thanks to the above mentioned qualities it can really be called an almost sports car.

All the details are expensive and thought-out. The leather, the fabric, and the plastic are of high quality, steel (the pedals and the switches) and aluminium (the bezel and the central cantilever's arcs) are perfectly polished and could even glitter provided they didn't distract the driver. Right in front of your eyes on the steering column a large tachometer with a semicircle of indicators is placed while a huge speedometer is placed in the center of the "torpedo". The column itself can be vertically adjusted. There is sound system control unit located under the speedometer. This sound system ICE boasts of 6 speakers and of a 6-disk CD-changer (it is hidden in the trunk and sounds rather nice).

A climate control's control unit is a little bit lower, although the cars of such a class aren't as a rule provided with climate control. There is a range of tumblers-switches under the climate control just like Mini One and Mini Cooper feature. The tumblers are responsible for a number of functions like window opening and the shut-off of the systems responsible for skidding or drifting. Dunlop
