REVIEW: It’s the most fun you can get out of any MINI on the market today. But is there such a thing as too much fun for its own good?

Would we buy one?

If we already had a car with four seats, and had RM 249,888 with nothing to do, then yes. The MINI Cooper S Coupe is unique; it’s fun, will probably be very exclusive (you’ll most likely not spot someone else in one) and is a great ‘drivers’ car.

The Coupe also gets two thumbs up for being a really easy car to drive (small, accommodating to the driver, good cabin space) and has a great iDrive in it which manages my music, mobile phone and work in a very clever and easy to use way.

It’s clean, stylish, unique and drives like a track racer; perfect for days when you want to let your hair down a little or get your juvenile juices flowing again.
