los angeles 2013 mini unveils 2014 cooper cooper s

MINI’s new Cooper and Cooper S aren’t so mini anymore — which is wonderful for the backseat occupants in your life, for starters — but the BMW brand had done its best to maintain the spirit. Under the bonnets are either a three-pot pushing 134 horses out the front gate with 162 lb-ft of torque or, for the S, an extra cylinder helping to produce 189 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, with either engine paired to a six-speed manual or automatic.

Loved my '09 Mini. This one, I'm not feelin it. Why dump that sweet 1.6 liter mill for a 3-pot?

  >> Why dump that sweet 1.6 liter mill for a 3-pot? Theoretically lower cost, less parts, lighter weight, and more engine bay room - although I haven't checked the numbers to verify they accomplished those goals. The U.S. base model with the triple does 0-60 in 7.3 seconds now versus 8.5 with the old 4, so there is some improvement in performance. The Euro version is lighter than the predecessor, but due to a couple of added knee air bags, the US version might actually be heavier.

Here come the 3 cylinders. Great. I'm so excited. These motors suck. Period. You think a 4cyl is rough or sounds bad? Wait till you try a 3. Vibration is awful. And they sound like a tractor. V8s dying off for V6, maybe boosted. V6s being phased out for 4cyl only. 4s going to 3s. N/A is a dying breed. I have liked the turbo 4s I've driven quite a lot, but better than a N/A 6? No way. But I will never buy a 3. Just awful engines. When will we see the V-Twins??

The Oracle Good news is that based on the model years many of these have already been junked or experienced terminal engine failure.
Lou_BC I'm confused, isn't a Prologue a preview? This would be a preview of a preview.
Dianne Started my investments by learning from the wrong people and you guessed right, that turned on me in the worst way possible. In 16 months, I had lost approximately $100,000. The bitter part of investment that no one talks about. That was too much over such a short duration of time. What makes the system can also break it. And so I decided to try out MYSTERIOUS HACKER on the same to get back my money. Had futile attempts for 2 months. Until I crossed paths with a Mysterious hacker. All he asked for was a few details regarding the investment and in a couple hours, I had my money back without any upfront payment.WEBSITE: https://mysterioushacker.info TELEGRAM: +15625539611 EMAIL: mysterioushack666@cyber-wizard.com

Tre65688381 Definitely more attractive than it's German rivals, but I'd still rather have the standard GV80. One of the best looking mid size SUV/Crossovers on the road, in my opinion. And the updates for 2024 hone it gently in the right direction with more tasteful but subtle changes.
