2015 Mini Cooper S Hardtop 4-door Test Drive - Fox News
Mini Cooper Hardtop drivers have it pretty good. But show up with two friends and ask them for a ride, and it’s payback time for the rest of us. The problem with the car is that it has rear seats. And with rear seats comes the obligation to have them called into use by others now and then, even if they’re as laughably small as the Mini’s. You grease your passengers up good, jam them in as best you can, even the kids, and then do the same for yourself, settling in and trying not to chew on the steering wheel to much as you contemplate the sounds that your knees make, since you’re... No, the Mini Hardtop is best treated as a two-seater, with the rears permanently folded down to reduce the temptation to use them and increase its ability to carry junk in the trunk, even if that makes you selfish. Well now you can, because tor the first time ever, the folks at Mini have figured out how to squeeze four-doors onto the car. The four-door is just over six inches longer than the two-door, which doesn’t sound like much, but is surprisingly adequate for the task at hand. About half of that is doled out between the wheels, and half again to the rear seats, which also get enough added shoulder room to turn it. Source: www.foxnews.com
