Rumson, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 01/05/2011 -- For the best value when purchasing a vehicle this year, visit our Knoxville MINI showroom, home to two vehicles recognized as having the best value of the year.
Consumers’ Digest has named the 2011 MINI Cooper Clubman and the 2011 MINI Cooper to its annual list of “Automotive Best Buys.”
Vehicles that make the exclusive list each year are given such recognition for having the best all-around value. The experts at Consumers Digest determine a vehicle’s value by looking at price at purchase and cost of ownership, while considering relative factors such as comfort, performance and utility. This means that a car doesn’t necessarily have to be the least expensive to earn this recognition; rather, the “Best Buy” vehicles have the best overall value and performance.
With all the advanced features built standard into each MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper Clubman, we here at the top Knoxville MINI dealership aren’t surprised that they made the “Best Buy” list.
To start, each MINI is packed with an engine that delivers outstanding fuel economy, surely a great value no matter your priorities in buying a vehicle.
Each MINI boasts an impressive 35 miles per gallon highway, 27 miles per gallon city, and an average of 462 miles per tank – which could take a MINI driver all the way from San Francisco to Reno and back, with gas still left to spare.

The top-notch suspensions built into the 2011 MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper Clubman also add to their outstanding values. Featuring front and rear wheel anti-sway bars as standard equipment, and a MacPherson strut to keep the wheels at optimal angles to the road, MINIs are built to help drivers conquer unstable road surfaces.
Value can also been seen in MINI’s impressive set of safety technologies, like Dynamic Stability Control, which is proven to cut down on accidents. This system uses sensors to measure the MINI’s steering angle, yaw and lateral acceleration, determining the driver’s intended vehicle direction. In the event that the vehicle begins to stray, DSC will apply corrective brake pressure to individual wheels and adjust engine torque, battling the loss of control and keeping the vehicle and driver as safe as possible.
Traction control also comes standard, and helps the vehicle start easily in situations where traction is limited. Starting on a hill is easier with Hill Assist, which prevents rollback as you move your foot off of the brake pedal and over to the gas.
Value is boosted even more with the addition of standard Tire Pressure Monitoring. This system alerts the driver as soon as tire pressure drops below safety in any of the wheels. As good tire pressure leads to better fuel economy, this can save the driver even more in the long run.
