    I have owned my Coupe S for 10 years.

    I have owned my Coupe S for 10 years. 51k miles. This is my favorite car of many. It has sport suspension, upgraded sound system and a couple of DYI upgrades in the engine. It is great for me being 6'3". I have driven solo cross country a couple of times doing well over 1000 miles a day. You just have to love it if you are a car person.....

    I rented a Mini Coupe about 5 years ago and fell in love

    I rented a Mini Coupe about 5 years ago and fell in love with it. I love the cuteness of it and really enjoy driving a stick shift. I got so many compliments on the car & have been looking to buy one ever since.

    Big Fun in a Small Car

    This is a late review but I have owned my 2014 JCW Coupe for six years and about 30,000 miles. I have had zero problems so far. I have tracked it once and one autocross. I have the automatic and it sucks at autocross but is amazing on the track. For non-track people here are the best and weakest points: BEST: Style-I get more comments than any other cars I’ve owned including MB AMG’s and BMW M’s. Performance: It is a deceptively quick car that is fun in city or open road. Reliability: So far great. I also alternate winter and summer performance tires. Does great all year. Mileage: I can get 38mpg on road middle 20’s in city. Trunk: The frame is a regular Mini minus back seats with a chopped roof. Plenty of luggage room for two person road trip. I used it as a work car for a year putting all my sales demo stuff in the trunk. WEAK: Rear view-Learn how to use your side mirrors properly. Small 2-seaters rarely have great visibility. Suspension-I got regular suspension. If you get sport they are hard as a rock. Alter your suspension and get non run-flat tires if you have sport. I unhesitatingly reccomend the coupe for those who love sporty unoque cars. You will just laugh evey time you drive it. I believe they are a good deal and will appreciate as they only ran three years.

    Awesome MINI Coupe

    I've heard it described as the same feeling as driving a go-kart. Go-karts can't compare. Yes, the steering is tight like a go-kart, but that's where it ends when it comes to the base model. A smooth comfortable ride with decent acceleration and excellent braking. Some say it is limited, I say it is made for 2 and carries quite a bit of travel luggage in the rear. Of course you won't be helping people haul furniture or large quantities of supplies,,, but you can use your pick-up for those errands.

    Amazingly fun car to drive

    The car is extremely fun to drive and cannot help to smile when driving. Road noise is a bit much when driving on the highways, but through the mountains this car is the absolute best.

    overpriced for a basic car

    The car hesitates when you step on the gas from a complete stop. The seats are uncomfortable. The standard exterior paint job is very plain--it needs strips, but that costs extra. The large speedometer in the center console seems like a strange location, a DVD player or GPS would be better use of that space. For the price, it could have more useful extra features--like lumbar support seats, strips, T-top roof.
