Tony Swan reviews the 2012 MCS Roadster for
Car and Driver. Subtitled "Eat you heart out, Mr. Issigonis", a reference to the creator of the original classic Mini, the review concludes -
Still, the pros outweigh the cons here. If the Roadster has room for only two, versus the 2+2 convertible, your lone passenger will feel flattered, and you’ll have a little more room for weekend cargo—1.5 cubic feet more than the 2+2—as well as a pass-through that allows stowage on the fly. Beyond that, you’ll have the most stylish Mini yet created. If Sir Alec Issigonis—creator of the original Mini—were still around, he’d be kicking himself for not doing it first.
