Winding Road Cooper S Coupe First Impressions
After our first driving experience with the new Mini Coupe, you can probably imagine our delight when we found out we’d be able to get a Cooper S Coupe in for a long-term test. Historically our long-term coverage of cars has lead to better and deeper understanding of the models (no surprise there), and I don’t know that we’ve ever had anything as interesting to drive and as controversial to our audience as the Coupe for the long haul. Our year with Mini should prove to be filled with debate, at the very least.
To get the ball rolling with the Coupe, three of our Michigan-based editors took turns with a week in the car, to firm up our baseline of driving impressions. (As the months roll on, we’ll make an effort to get some seat time for those folks in our Texas offices, too.) Don’t be surprised to see the LT Coupe end up in further Winding Road features, comparison tests, and video content before the year is out. Full review here
