CarGurus' Review
The MINI Cooper S two-door hatchback received a received a minor styling update for 2005, with a new front grille, bumpers, headlights, and taillights.
The S model also received an updated powerplant, with a more powerful engine and a new standard transmission. The vehicle's 1.6-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine produced 168 horsepower for 2005, up from 163 for the previous year. It was linked to a new six-speed Getrag manual transmission with a steering-column-mounted tachometer. A six-speed automatic was optional.
The front-wheel-drive, four-passenger MINI Cooper S hatchback was well-equipped with such standard features as air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, dual front and side airbags, an AM/FM stereo system with a CD player, remote keyless entry, and anti-lock brakes. It also came with 16-inch tires, a functional hood scoop, traction control, and a sport suspension. Leather seats and a navigation system were among the options.
Drivers overwhelmingly thought the MINI Cooper was a fun car to drive, and that, along with the car's economy and cuteness factor, was the major reason cited for buying the car. The convertible, with its sunroof capability, was a big hit with drivers, though some thought the car (both hardtop and convertible versions) was a bit stiff over the road, with a ride that could be bumpy at times. Handling, stability, and reliability were other positive points cited by drivers.
