edmunds Reviews The 2013 MINI Cooper Coupe

edmunds summarizes its opinions as follows:


What Edmunds Says

With negligible differences in performance versus the regular Cooper, the 2013 Mini Cooper Coupe really only delivers a sportier look, along with some drawbacks that may be deal-breakers.

Pros

Sharp handling; distinctive exterior styling; great fuel economy; highly customizable; all the fun you normally get from a Mini Cooper now available in a two-seater.

Cons

No measurable performance gain over regular Cooper hatchback; choppy ride (especially in the John Cooper Works trim); limited outward visibility; more expensive than Cooper hatchback.
