Mini Roadster Cooper S - All Information "Part 3"

The cheapest Mini Cooper Roadster has a starting price of about ... Plant: $ 31,534. By comparison, the test version Roadster Mini Cooper S starts at $ 38,104, about $ 7,000 more. Money, however, fully justifies much better performance turbo engine, and a level of equipment and customization something better.
In addition, standard motor function have automatic Start / Stop, so that the 184 HP are not so gourmets in town (not as "picky" as in theory, of course). In a predominantly aggressive pace, I managed to get an average consumption of 7.8 litres/100 km Roadster Mini Cooper S, although I expected the trip computer to see at least 9 litres/100 km.

Mini Roadster Cooper S - All Information "Part 2"

How can Roadster Mini Cooper S go? Obviously, much like a Mini Cooper S convertible or a Mini Cooper S - since we speak the same engine under the hood (a 1.6-liter turbo and 184 hp) and suspension, brakes and steering are the same as the other versions Cooper S.
Therefore, do not wonder if, in the whirlwind getaways from traffic lights, front wheels grip will often break, especially if you switched off ESP and speed increases very rapidly, requiring rapid change of the 6-speed. Maximum torque is large enough, with a value of 260 Nm, but its advantage is to obtain a wide range between 1,730 rpm and 4,500 rpm. So you kept the little outlet at any time.

Mini Roadster Cooper S - All Information "Part 1"

Mini comes with a second convertible proposal Mini Roadster. We tested the Cooper S version to understand that it is justification.
How else to show the new Mini Roadster if the games in a candy? But like a real Mini at the same time. The question of what is good Mini Roadster, since the range is Mini Convertible? Well, I would say that the new Mini Roadster is dedicated to self-seekers.
