WebRidesTV Car Video of the Week: MINI Cooper vs. Go-Kart

WebRidesTV releases video review of BMW's latest addition to the MINI line up, the 2008 MINI Cooper S Clubman. Using professional drivers and the latest in racing performance analysis technology, WebRidesTV evaluates the MINI's "fun factor" on an indoor go-kart track.

Culver City, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2008 -- WebRidesTV releases new "Profiled"* video featuring a review of the 2008 MINI Cooper S Clubman. The MINI Cooper is a pop culture icon appearing in feature films and video games as a perky, quick maneuvering getaway car (http://www.webridestv.com/showvideo.aspx?video=59540). Reviews of the MINI Clubman have touted it as a premium compact car (http://blog.webridestv.com/2008/06/28/compact-car-craze/) that is hazardously fun to drive, with similar handling to rollerblading and go-kart driving.

In the latest "Profiled"* video, WebRidesTV evaluates the MINI Cooper's claimed "fun factor" and raises the question, "Do the claims made by the manufacturer for that vehicle measure up"?

BMW asserts that the MINI's "classic bulldog stance" gives it a thrilling "go-kart feel". WebRidesTV tests the validity of BMW's claim, and pits the Clubman against a custom-built Stratos go-kart on the indoor, 1000ft Dromo 1 go-kart track.

The driver's lap times and overall driving experiences will reveal once and for all whether or not the Mini Cooper is as fun to drive as a go-kart.

WebRidesTV's latest "Profiled" video on the 2008 MINI Cooper S Clubman is now available to view at WebRidesTV (http://www.webridestv.com/showvideo.aspx?video=108395).
