6. Mini Cooper D

Top speed:  127 MPH

The Mini Cooper D is very similar to the classic Minis that can be purchased in the United States except that it is a diesel model that can’t be bought in the U.S. This is the third generation of the auto, and it is sold in both Australia and Europe. The auto manufacturer has extended much of the technology found in the BMW line of cars into the Mini Cooper D, and the car is rated as extremely fun to drive. The car is powered by a 1.5 liter diesel engine that is coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. The top overall speed of the car is 127 MPH, and the car can go from zero to 60 MPH in a respectable 9.2 seconds.
