What does this car say about you?

I have no view on this.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They either like it or love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, excellent value for the price and performance.

What are you likely to buy next?

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£11,250

When did you buy the car?

April 2016

Did you get a good deal and why?

I was happy with the deal, £11K for the performance and fun that you get is a bargin.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I went to the dealership to buy a Cooper S hatchback but decided to try one of the JCW Coupes... after the test drive I decided there and then that this was the car I wanted.

What was the dealer like?

I found the dealer to be very good, not at all pushy. They let the car sell itself.

What's it like to drive?

In normal, non-sport, mode it is very easy to drive. The ride is a little harder but more than acceptable. In town it is very manageable and it holds the road very well at speed on the open road. Sport mode hardens the suspension and makes the throttle and steering more responsive, making it great fun.

What's it like to park?

It can be awkward to reverse/parallel park due to restricted visibility. The parking sensors and radar map help a lot though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

It has a surprising large boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The sport button! It really livens up the car.
