15 Cars You Should Drive Before You Die

3. Mini Cooper S

The Mini Cooper S represents the culmination of the company’s efforts into supping up the already popular vehicle by John Cooper who was the boss of the company who won the 1959-1960 Formula 1 racing championships. The 1275-cc car is rated at 76 horsepower and can almost top 100 MPH when tweaked just right. Aficionados who have not taken the time to drive the mini are missing out on one of the most unique rides to try out before you die. The vehicle is just over 10 feet in length and uses 10 inch diameter wheels and tires, but somehow still manages to seat four people without requiring the rear seat passengers to be children. Although the performance metrics of the S and even newer versions of the auto are not record setting, the Mini Cooper is one of the smallest automobiles that one will drive in a lifetime and delivers a rewarding driving experience.
