The drive-in time has been over for a long time and the speedometer now shows more than 10,000 kilometers. Time to give a small resume to the Mini Cooper Works. In summary, I can say that the Works is an incomparable car for me with a hammer engine that is a lot of fun. But in turn. The Works actually has two faces. On the one hand, if you look at the speed limit and the directional speed on the motorway t, an enormously economical car ( on average 7.5 liters ), which is very harmonious, comfortable and at the same time very fast, confident and relaxed to drive and therefore suitable for long distances like hardly any other car, apart from the Cooper D. On the other hand a car, which with pressed sports button and heavy right foot becomes the sport device of the very first quality. Hard to tame, incredibly fast and quite thirsty. The whole garnishes with a sound, which The Works doesn’t have any real enemies on the highway or on the highway, apart from a few exotics. Even the whole TDI fraction rubs its eyes regularly. In the 4th or 5th course, the Works has a pass at its finest, with the 6th course actually almost always enough. The Works feels particularly comfortable on the country road and on the highway at speeds between 140 and 200 km/h. The 256 km/h, which at 6,500 rpm, b When the speed limit (red range starts at 6,500 rpm) is reached on the speedometer, it is reached by a high speed and if the road is still slightly downhill, the digital speedometer can also stand at 260. The combination of sports suspension ( 200,– Euro surcharge ) and Dunlop Sport Maxx ( of course no Runflats ) in combination with distance discs ( 10 mm per axis ) is the ideal mixture of comfort and sport and leaves nothing to be desired. Speed range clearly over 200 km/h is a bit tiring in the long run. Little weight, short wheelbase, roaring exhaust and a sporty chassis are counterproductive here. My Porsche Boxster shows the same symptom here, however. A 7 BMW is even more relaxed at 300 km/h. However, this should not be understood as a criticism, quite the contrary, it just shows the ideal moment for work, the country road to have fun and the highway to the fast By the way, the consumption then commutes between 8 and 9 liters. Only those who constantly have more than 200 km/h standing on the clock comes over 10 liters, then it can even become up to 15 liters, but then you have to exert yourself properly. The engine is really a poem. Gas acceptance, power development, flow, sound and the consumption are simply the finest. For me the best 4 cylinder to buy. Against the background of the offered the works can be thoroughly I hope the short report was not too long and before the first questions appear, no, I don’t get anything from Mini for it. If someone wants to donate, I would like to inform you on request of my bank details. Markus
