For 2006, the Mini Cooper can be equipped with a new Checkmate package, which includes special wheels, stability control, unique trim and graphics, HID headlamps and foglamps. The John Cooper Works package, formerly a dealer-installed option, can now be fitted at the factory.

• Not enough horsepower in base model, questionable seat comfort, not much room for passengers and cargo, some low-grade interior materials.

  Love my SCOOTER! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By scooterluv1 - October 3 - 9:15 pm

  I have owned many cars in my day, but this scooter (Mini Cooper S) is the most fun to drive. This car is quick, roomy (I am 62", 200#), a sure head-turner and financially economical. Warning: If you are looking for a smooth ride and back seat roominess, pick another car... I bought it 2 years ago w/21000 miles on it and now it has 50000 miles. I have had few issues w/it; (thankfully, I did purchase a good aftermarket warranty) most major issue was w/carbon dirt build-up/clogging up the fuel injectors, but a fuel system flesh ($100.00) and 93/100 octane gas cleared that right up. I am very well pleased w/this blend of Mini/BWN.

  2006 Mini Convertible S - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Jim - June 25 - 9:36 pm

  I have driven owned a lot of BMWs (5 - a 745, two 740s, and three 325s) and one Mercedes (E350 4Matic) - nothing is as much fun to drive as the Mini. I have upgraded to the JCW airbox and muffler. This is a totally awesome car.

  A Star Car - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Fivechip - June 23 - 7:26 pm

  I traded a 2003 Mini Cooper in on the 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible and wow what a difference in power and smoothness. The 6-speed transmission shifts like butter compared to the 2003s 5-speed transmission. I loved the 03 model but the 06 is so much better.

  I Love It! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Kate - June 16 - 2:23 pm

  Bought my MINI about a month ago. This car is really fun to drive! I like it even more than I thought I would. It is easy to zip around town and fit into any parking spot. I have had absolutely no problems with visability and the gas mileage seems good so far. I love it!

  By NLCOOLJ - May 27 - 11:26 pm

  This car is ...............excellent and lots of fun. I bought a 6-speed manual 2006 Cooper S in Astro black with silver roof and bonnet stripes. Its options include Premium, Sport, Cold weather, HK Stereo, Chrono meter, Rear fog light, PDC, Piano surface 7 interior, and Limited Slip Differential. Its fairly quick, fun to drive and I have had many people pay compliments to me about the car. I love its handling. It provides great value for the money.

  Pep, style and function - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Tammy - March 28 - 5:00 am

  I have an Acura and an Audi in the driveway. I pick the MINI every time. I drop the top in freezing weather on a sunny day! I am getting 27-28 mpg in the city. I navigate a lot of small streets and parking is a breeze. Its spoiled me. Really.

  Sporty and Fun - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By travlr - March 17 - 11:30 am

  My red Mini with a black roof, black bonnet stripes, and Union Jack side and interior mirror makes many people smile as I drive by. Its quick and maneuverable in Manhattan traffic. I rarely drive higher than 3rd gear in the city and it scoots into the traffic lanes very nicely.

  My 2nd MINI - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By B Walker - February 6 - 5:16 am

  My 2006 Hyper Blue / black top Mini Cooper S has the premium package, sport package w/webspokes, cold weather package, ltd slip, anthracite headliner, and leather seats w/blue inserts. This car is better than my 04 Cooper in every way. The body is tighter with no squeaks or rattles. The ride is actually better with the 17 inch wheels than my 04 was with the 16s. The webspokes are gorgeous. The small upgrade in power and change in gearing makes the car feel as quick as the 04 was with the TMS pulley package. I will upgrade the 06 as well when the pulley package is available. I looked at the Subaru WRX STI (incredibly low and super harsh ride) and the new Volkswagen GTI (pretty cool but it aint no MINI!). I love this car.

  GP - From 0019 in the US - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By AprilWhine - November 30 - 1:40 pm

  This is my fourth MINI, not bad on a car only that has only been available in the US since 2002! Ive loved them all, but the GP is really something special. From the sound of the supercharger winding up to the road hugging dynamics, its the most fun to drive car Ive ever owned.

  I Love my Mini Cooper Convertible - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Allison Mayer - November 25 - 7:06 am

  Its so fun to drive that I look for excuses to go places so that I can get in my Mini and go. It looks great and is much more interesting-looking than other cars on the road. It is very roomy inside. The stereo is terrific. There are so many standard bells and whistles that I still am learning how they all work. This is the "funnest" vehicle Ive ever ridden in or driven. It makes me smile and lifts my spirits whenever I drive it. My other car is a 98 Toyota 4Runner, which I absolutely love. But my Mini is the most fun. I love the attitude of the company too. It doesnt take itself too seriously.
