Driving the Coupe is, in technical terms, a hoot. We had the John Cooper Works version with its 208 bhp and 192 lb-ft of torque with 207 on Overboost. With the Getrag 6-speed that gives you 0-60 in the mid-6s. How could it not be fun?
Or somewhat expensive.
JCW Coupe versions start at $31,900, Coopers at $25,300 and normal Minis at $22,000.
Still, a lot of cool for the buck.
