girlracer really likes the MINI JCW Coupe. In her review she states,
The JCW Coupe has immense pace, making fast and safe progress on twisting roads. The sports suspension, although firm, did a good job at absorbing the poorer road surfaces and gave the Coupe superb balance and a flat ride through bends driven at speed. The cornering grip was huge and the very sharp steering response makes it a hugely rewarding car to drive. Top speed of 149mph is impressive on paper so the legal maximum speed of 70mph is nothing to this car so it’s effortless and refined. On the motorway the JCW Coupe is just another well equipped fast small car but it really comes alive on twisting back roads and of course it should be a competitive track-day car. But I suspect its real appeal will be to that affluent customer, young and young at heart, who just want a Mini that is a bit different and makes a statement.
