20082dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		When you consider what you would pay for a comparably equipped Passat, you reallize the premium you are paying for the convertible top.

Price of the MINI Cooper: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20092dr Hatch turbocharged 208hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. The build quality is better so I guess that is what you are paying for.
20082dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		No bargaining. Pricey with options
20062dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Looking at the current cost of an S, it is far less of a value then when I bought mine. A comparable car to mine has risen in cost by roughly $3K+. Today at 28k with options lsd, xenons, leather and a few babbles it simply is too dear.
20062dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Slightly overpriced compared to Civic, VW GTI, etc.
20052dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD		The MINI is considered a "premium" car and the pricing reflects that.
