February 3, 2021Super cute car. Manual transmission easy to drive. Auto pop up spoiler. I am short 5’’, had to sit closer than I was comfortable with to engage clutch. Felt too closed in for my preference. Features were great. Hatch had lots of room for this size car. Definitely am liking the MINI Cooper.
April 28, 2021Great little car. Missing Harmon Kardan sound system, especially at this price point.
August 19, 2020Love the car; be prepared for sticker shock on the insurance premiums.
October 6, 2020I own a S2000 and took a Mini Cooper Coupe JCW for a test drive back in 2015 and loved how it felt similar to a S2000 but front wheel drive and always thought about getting one. And here i am now in 2021 with a 2012 Coupe JCW and loving it. They feel just like the hatchback version but chassis feels just a little stiffer with less body roll. Awesome car and glad that i was able to get it two days before my birthday!!
