Vehicle Comparison: The 2011 MINI Cooper S vs. the Audi TT Coupe
Another scuffle in the schoolyard.
MINI is not beyond picking a fight. Remember last year when MINI challenged Porsche to a racetrack duel? A MINI Cooper S came less than two seconds from beating a Porsche 911 Carrera that costs more than three times what the MINI costs on a special course set up at Road Atlanta.

Details: MINI Motoring Protection
Stuff happens. Here’s how to not lose sleep over it.
One thing about all MINI models that is definitely not mini is the standard warranty coverage. The four-year/50,000-mile (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper coverage is what you’d expect with a $50,000 luxury car, and the MINI’s complimentary maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles keeps more money in your wallet. Sometimes, however, as you’re enjoying the curves in the road with your MINI, you get hit with a curveball. That misused metaphor sets the stage to tell you about MINI Motoring Protection.

Spring Cleaning for Your Car
Things to take care of once warmer weather rolls around.
The changing of the seasons is often one of the best ways to time basic automobile maintenance. According to Edmunds.com, the dawn of spring is the perfect reminder for you to verify that your windshield wipers are still in good shape, your tires are holding air and your air filter is still clean enough to do its job properly. Spring is also a great time to rotate your tires, particularly if you live in a region where you don’t need to swap on a set of summer rubber once the winter is over.
