- The new Mini Coupe JCW is the firm's latest offering to the Mini line-up. Thanks to improved torsional rigidity, the coupe handles better than the standard hatchback, allowing it to make the most of its turbocharged 211bhp engine. But is it worthy rival to the more established coupes on sale? Here, Matt Prior finds out.
I love that he's actually DRIVING it the way we secretly always want to
Erm.... Why on earth did he not use the sport button? Tightens up the suspension and steering response.
yeah it's a love or hate thing, I agree with you and fall into the latter camp. My BMW interior is sombre and minimal but that's the way I like it. Although I respect MINI for doing something different, quirky, quite 'designer-ish' and some will love it for that.
looks fast!
Wow it actually looks really good with this combination. I didnt like the official photos, but it looks great in motion.
@PT111111 totally agreed! but i'm a fan of the soft-tops.
I have to say I was always into big saloons and then my girlfriend got a cooper and its hands down the most fun car I've ever driven
I'd take the Scirocco without thinking twice. Its just so much more mature than any of the other two.
I wish they had the scirocco in the US. It looks great -aggresive but not weird- has enough horsepower, the interior is nice, and the overall handling and car is a VW. Plus, with the small car boom in the US, it would be a pretty competent player...
@knupaw no you're not! I quite like it too. Looks like massive fun too!
too bad for some reason vw has denied us americans the scirocco. i drove it in europe and i love it. bring it to america now vw!
I like the mazda, yes I agree it isn't as sporty as it once was compared to the others. But .. roof down and I am cruising along.
ha, a little while ago my dad went on a track day. My parents payed for me to go around the track in Nissan GTR, and this is the track i went round. what a quinkydink... ;)
@AndrewParkerTV Just to add, I respect what Mini does, and maybe for some people that's the only car/brand they ever want. I try to pick from a wider choice - but I do have a family, I will admit.
am I the only one who thinks that the mini coupe looks awesome?
mini should use the chassis from the 1 series to make if more sportier rwd car and more fun to drive.
i want a scirocco in the us now!
I'll take the MX-5 Roadster with the hard folding roof any day.
Maybe not as powerful but who cares when you're driving down the beach with the roof down, the sun shining, warm breeze blowing. Plus it's a Mazda so it'll go on forever.
If you must, you can always add some basic after market mods like cold air intake, 4/2/1 header, exhaust, etc.
I wish it was a RWD... i Like the looks of it..
Strange to have no rear seat, but such a large boot - possibly just so they could call it a two seater?
