Bluetooth wireless communication is now standard, replacing Sirius satellite radio, which becomes an option. John Cooper Works (JCW) models can now be had with an automatic transmission. Joining the lineup this year is the Mini John Cooper Works GP, which Mini says is its fastest model ever made. Just 500 Mini GP models will be imported to the U.S.
While it's true that an increasingly number of car owners are downsizing, there are times when smaller can be too small. The Mini Cooper is one example, offering buyers cute styling, fun driving dynamics and desired efficiency, but very little room. That's where the Mini Cooper Clubman comes into play, with more than nine inches of extra length, which brings with it much-needed rear leg room. A good bit of added cargo space found its way into the equation, too. If you want a Mini Cooper with greater dimensions, and you're not interested in the larger four-door Countryman, the 2011 Clubman is waiting for a test drive. Shoppers can choose between base and turbocharged S models.
