The Coupe is comfortable enough for long hours of driving, and it’s the most viscerally engaging Mini — which is a high bar.

Small but mighty, the Coupe provides a balls to the wall experience in a size not much bigger than a shoebox. It fits oddly into the MINI lineup, but it brings with it genuinely sporting credentials that are hard to discredit.

What Mini has done with the Coupe, is take a car that already was quite talkative, and amped things up to deliver one of the most communicative and affordable cars on the market.

It’s hard not to fall in love with the 2012 Mini Coupe. It may be the styling that lures you in, but it’s the pure driving enjoyment that really seals the deal. We’ve never had this much fun getting “Couped-up.”

The purpose of the Coupe, MINI tells us, is to better shape the brand as a whole, increase the emotion associated with it and to project a more manly image. Check, check and check.

Is the Coupe S, which only seats two and offers minimal cargo room, a smart car? Maybe not. Fun? Unquestionably. Sometimes the things that are the most fun in life aren’t always the smartest.

The 2012 Mini John Cooper Works Coupe simply comes up short on value. As much as we grinned behind the wheel when the planets aligned for us on a perfect road, we just can’t find the justification for a Mini made this way.

The JCW Coupe is the most entertaining Mini I’ve driven. It’s the type of car that’s sure to get most any driver’s blood flowing, and one Mini you’ll never want unbuckle from.

Love or hate its styling, the 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe John Cooper Works is easily one of the best-performing front-wheel-drive cars we’ve tested. Unfortunately, it’s also priced about $10,000 too high.
