For what the JCW package they should have finished it out with a cam and headers and upgrade throttle.

2006 MINI Cooper Review:
I replaced the runflats with Michelin Pilots and opened up the intake more. What a difference in ride and handling. Even a trip to the grocery is a blast. I drive several long road trips a year and it will run all day near 100 and get 28 MPG doing it.

2006 MINI Cooper Review:
The only thing I did with my 2006 cooper S was to get rid of the run flat tires and changed to Yokohama S Drive tires. This change was great from the standpoint of noise reduction and performance. I am currently looking into the turbo version to see the difference between supercharged and turbo performance.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 MINI Cooper?

Cons: How would you improve 2006 MINI Cooper?
Make a stretch, 4-door version. A little more low-end grunt from the otherwise spirited engine.

2006 MINI Cooper Review:
I miss my MINI! Growing kids and a new need to commute them to school every day forced me to trade my 2003 Cooper for a 4-door car. If only there were a 4-door MINI!

FUN best drescribes this car, from the feel of the road, to the curves of the hood, to the playful shapes of the interior. It's well appointed and solid, though our early production model had some teething pain with some interior trim pieces losing their luster and some electronics having to be replaced under warranty. But never has a car been WORTH the occasional headache of a trip to the dealer.
