2003 Mini Cooper Road Test

The 2003 Mini Cooper brings back memories of a simpler era, but the tiny car is anything but simple. BMW's 'pet' project is available with 6 airbags, run-flat tires, ABS, EBD, CBC, ASC+T or DSCIII and DBC. BBC 1 and BBC 2 are not included, nor is Mr. Bean. OK, I'll get serious for a minute. The Mini is a serious product from a very serious German manufacturer. Still, it's hard not to smile. It's just so darn cute, in a mischievous sort of way. It's like that kid next door your mom didn't want you hanging out with. You just knew you were going to get into trouble but the thrills were somehow worth it.
