Mini Cooper S 1.6T

Mini Cooper S 1.6T

The new MINI has been re-designed, it now features a new British built engine, new front and rear suspension and new 6 speed manual gearbox. There are also a host of new innovations, and extra safety and security features as standard. It’s punchy engine, crisp gearchange and lively acceleration make the MINI Cooper S a great all-rounder.

The current list price for the Mini Cooper S 1.6T is £16,585 (excluding any discounts), under the hood is a 1.6 litre turbocharged engine which produces a whopping 175bhp, so it comes as no surprise to see the official top speed is 141mph, 0-60 comes in 7 seconds flat, this model has a rather steep insurance group 15 rating, but surprisingly it will return an average of 46mpg, which is quite unusual for such a powerful little car.

I would like to remind readers of the car scrappage allowance currently in operation the uk, the scheme offers a £2000 discount when you trade in your old car. Certain vehicle age limitations apply, but some new car dealers are varying the restrictions in order to boost sales, so contact your local dealer to find out what they are currently offering.
