Car And Driver Tests The 2012 MCS Coupe

One thing Car and Driver says in its test,

The Coupe is an entertaining place to be when the road gets kinky, and there's something to be said for the sense of connection and intimacy that goes with a two-seater. Mini also asserts that, model for model, the Coupe is  the fastest-accelerating Mini ever. No so fast, we say. The last Cooper S four-seat hatch we tested [May 2007] dashed to 60 in 6.2 seconds. This S Coupe took 6.6 seconds, though quarter-mile performance was identical: 15.0 at 95 mph.
