  • Alex L. Dykes takes a spin in MINI's two-seat coupé the MINI John Cooper Works Coupé (there's also a Cooper in there somewhere). We look at the interior, exterior and take it for a spin on CA's highway 35. Comparisons to the Fiat 500 Abarth are unavoidable, so be sure to check out our Abarth review as well.

    I'm no collector, but this is definitely in my driveway. I love this bad boy.

    I have the jcw coupe black red strips all the extras and spot lights on grill. It is absolutely awesome I sold my bmw m4 for the jcw and the jcw coupe is the best car and most fun I've had and I'm a petrol head.

    I know some hate the top but I love the bad boy look it oozes. The ride is very stiff and punishing but that's the price you pay for the performance it has. If I were younger with a better back I'd own a significantly depreciated 2 year old one. To compare this with the Abarth is ridiculous. This is a far more capable car than the Abarth. After driving this JCW coupe for a while on twisty mountain roads you'll never want to drive a VW GTI again because it's cornering and accelerating abilities don't come close to the Coupe.

    Test drove both the Abarth and the Mini Coupe. Both have their merits. The Fiat feels somehow special and really fun to drive even at slow speeds. The beefy steering wheel psychologically fools you into thinking you are driving a much bigger car. I think the exhaust frightens other motorists out of your way making you feel that you are a much better driver than you actually are. Both stick to the road but the Coupe let in way too much road noise so I'm looking at the Mini S Hardtop along with the Abarth. And all that techno stuff looks really distracting! Good review.

    This is a collectors type car, make no mistake about it.

    I'm really interested in seen a comparison of all the hatchbacks in the market. Why don't you do a review of the following cars together: Mini Cooper Clubman S, VW GTI, Fiat 500 Abarth, Hyundai Veloster Turbo. They all are hatchbacks, FWD and in a similar price bracket...

    Close to perfect roads can be found in FL. If you ever go to Miami you will notice no hills, the place is flat and more pleasant to drive.

    Basically everything he said was standard on the JCW is NOT standard.... Mini does a la carte... so ANY Mini model can have what you see on this car shown... when reviewing cars it helps to stick to the facts rather than making up verbiage to fill up time. Btw i have the same pants but mine are baggier...
