Samuel Ee Reviews The MINI Coupe


First published in The Business Times and now on asiaone motoring is Samuel Ee's review of the MINI Coupe. His ultimate take:
With the latter's wide power band, though, you can probably stay in third gear all day if you want. Even in fourth gear at just 1,000 rpm, it is possible to floor the accelerator pedal and pull away without protest. This 1.6-litre powerplant is nothing short of impressive. Never mind that its looks may be a moot point - there is no question about this Coupe's dynamic abilities.
