George Kennedy writes about the 2012 MINI Cooper S Roadster for
Boston.com. Kennedy concludes:
I have driven the Boxster, the 3 Series, the Z4—you name it. While they may all have more impressive performance metrics, none of them has been as genuinely fun to drive as the MINI Cooper S Roadster. When you own and drive a car that feels fast, that’s all that matters. The detractors who complain about 0 to 60 times and power-to-weight ratio are usually forum trolls who will never actually own the car. Anyone who has the pleasure of owning this stout droptop will never tire of the joy delivered from tackling a winding back road at its wheel. So go out and have some fun.
