Mini Cooper Hardtop

I'm looking forward to get a mini cooper but don't know the difference between "s" and regular?
Hello everyone.
I want to get a mini cooper, the normal one(hardtop I believe is called).
I went to the official site to read about the differences between the regular mini cooper and the mini cooper s. I don't know much about cars so it was hard to understand all the info. the website provided.
so I want to know the differences between the mini cooper and the mini cooper s?
I decided to come here because of my poor knowledge of cars. If I go to a dealership they're gonna try to trick me (I feel).
Also is it true that mini coopers are stick shift?
Is it hard to learn how to drive stick shift?
The difference between the cooper and cooper S is that the S stands for Sport and therefor the Cooper S has more horsepower, a sport suspension and a turbocharger. If your not a car person i don't recommend the S because it's a harsher ride and you probably don't care about the extra speed. As to your second question no not all MINI Cooper are sticks, the MINI today have automatics with paddle shifter that let you choose between manual mode that lets you shift the car yourself but doesn't use a clutch or automatic mode with runs the same way all automatics do.

Recommandation for safe, good lookin car?
Hi this is my first car and I'm trying to look for the safest, and pretty good looking car and also economic(cheapest as possible...).. I'm considering Mini Cooper Convertible or hardtop but.... I'm hearing that they're not as safe... is it true? I'm not type of those idiotic people who drive dangerously..but I'm still having fear that.. there could be dangerous situation..so.. do you think Mini Cooper's safe enough? even on the high ways? My dad's keep sayin to choose a car that will have good price for reselling later.. so that'd be like most japanese brand car..but i don't like them that much though (too common..).. anyways help me choose good car for me! thanks
I always laugh when people bring up the "that's too common" argument. Trust me, anything you get 1000 other people will have the same thing. Mini's are not bad. they are overpriced for what you get, but they retain their value well. The Mini has pretty good safety ratings, but they are not cheap to run. They take premium gas and maintenance will be very expensive...it's made by BMW, so get used to $100 oil changes. Also insurance will be high. If you're looking for something a little less expensive look at a VW Rabbit or something like that.

'fraid not. I'd love to drive one, though. They look like they'd be fun to toodle around in. I'd be scared on the highway, or in heavy traffic, however. I doubt they'd offer much protection in an accident. Given my druthers, in heavy traffic, I'd prefer to drive a tank!
