The Coronado Trail (Formerly US Rt 666) in central AZ. 450 curves in less than 90 miles....
The best MINI drive in the US!

Thanks for the info, I just had a co-worker tell me all about it after I sent him the link.
That's going on my list!
My favorite road is definite the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire. I have many fond memories of going for drives up there with my parents, fighting with my little bro in the back seat in between my parents warning us that they'd pull this car over if we didn't stop it! Stay on your own sides! 
It's great on hot days to stop and cool off in the cold, clean river that runs alongside the road. Too bad I live on the complete opposite side of the country now! I'm itchin' for a cross-country road trip in my new MINI already, and if I had her over in New England, this is definitely the road I'd drive!

It probaly will be off the path, but you really need to take in the hills, curves and scenery of Historic Rt. 66 in Missouri. Some of it has been repaved near Lebanon Mo. Plus lots of winerys and small antique shops!!
RT-32 in Bucks County, PA is one of the most beautiful roads I've ever been on, but any road in Central or Northern Bucks County is great too. Also, I recommend exploring the canyons of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, but it would probably be better to do that in an MCS due to some pretty steep climbs...
The road I live is quite fun, 228th St in Mountlake Terrace, WA.
Starting from right to left (above the Google) you drop into an instant 50ft decent on the curve, then levels down toward the rampless bridge. Once across the bridge two camelback hills ~50ft accent and decents. An unfortunate 4 way stop, then up another camelback then down a huge hill with a sharp right then left dropping ~100 ft in elevation. My driveway is just past the "S" curves. There's only a small section of 4 driveways but with no real residential "impediments". I may have to get 15x7s over my 15x5.5s. A number of Honda have been in my neighbors' yards.
