Quirky styling and nimble handling help the Cooper S to inject a dose of excitement into your daily commute. A 189-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic provides enough scoot to live up to the car’s sporting intentions. A five-door model is now offered so that the Cooper S can (almost) make a case for itself as a family car; a JCW version of the three-door boasts a brawnier 228-hp 2.0-liter four, a tuned suspension, and a host of racy styling tweaks.
