October 11, 2008 - Pleasanton, CA: MINI Cooper has won fourth position among 10 vehicles rated by Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards for 2008. This is the sixth consecutive year this model has figured in this list.
These awards are given to assess car manufacturers’ abilities to produce vehicles that retain their value over time. These awards are presented in three categories: vehicles that rank top among Kelley Blue Book’s 11 vehicle categories; Overall Top 10 vehicles across all categories and the model with the best projected resale value across its entire line of vehicles.
About the MINI Cooper, Kelley says: “It combines excellent handling and charming looks with a remarkable level of options available from the factory. Drivers who crave uniqueness will love the ability to tailor their MINIs to match their tastes.”
One of this model’s features that came in for high praise is its standard Sport Button. This button increases steering effort by speeding up shifts in its transmission. This it does by quickening throttle response. In Kelley’s words, this Sport Button is such a likeable features that this makes the car “easy and livable during daily drives, yet with all the sporting flair you’d want available at the touch of a button”.
