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.
