MINI Coupe JCW Gets An 8 Out Of 10 From The Globe


The Globe and Mail gives the MINI Coupe JCW an 8 out of a possible 10 but concludes,
The 2012 Mini Coupe is distinct and unlike any other car on the road. But I still wonder, is there enough of a market for a two-seater?

Personally, I’d prefer a Mini hatch or a more practical and spacious Mini Countryman. For roughly the same price ($27,850-$32,650), it’s just as fun to drive, but offers more bang for your buck. It has four seats, four doors and four-wheel-drive so it’s more practical. But then again, I’d probably miss the funky roof.
