Ok, I get it, the Coupe doesn't fit under bridges very well. It's like they lie in wait for these threads.
If I were to change anything I'd say make it a removable hardtop and lower it an inch as standard.

Sheesh, some people have no couth...
....and now I await a reply about "blah blah blah, I have a right to an opinion, blah blah blah" LOL
BACK ON TOPIC, the only thing I'd like to see addressed that I wish it weighed less than the regular hatch.....but oh well, I'm still buying my even heavier roadster :-)

No Doubt! What kind of person would post such a reply in a forum of MINI owners, in a subforum for that exact model? Is he/she the type of person that just walks up to random people in a parking lot and is like "Hey, man, your car us ugly as sin and it should have never been made".

I love my Coupe and I'm happy that I could afford it and I drive it with pride. To the haters out there, I'm glad I'm not in your head what a rotten place to be!!

The haters out there in the real world, if there are any, have been leaving me alone. What I AM getting: every single person that has made a comment has made a positive one about the car, the color, the roof, the evolution of MINIs, etc. I get random people honking and rolling down windows at stoplights to ask about it, I get people walking across the street to take photos with their phones, on and on. If I didn't know better, I'd think i was pretty cool just for buying the darn thing.....

I agree. I have people doing the same thing. They like to chat about it.
I finally saw another car in my area. It's a pepper white Coupe. I haven't had a chance to chat with the owner yet. We've passed each other several times. It's only the second car I've have seen in my area and there are lots of Mini's running around this state. (Not a lot of Coupes but I like that.)
It sure is a hoot to drive and man are the brakes just killer. Talk about going deep into the corner. Wow!!

Better visibility out, auto-up windows, a water temp gauge, seat belt anchors mounted on the B pillars, quieter heater fan, two boot lights (or just one, but mounted in the middle), sports mode always on - no wind noise at the side windows, no squeeks and rattles when outside temp goes below 40 F. Other than that, I love my car.

With mirrors adjusted correctly no visibility issues, auto up on the windows not an issue for me, everything else works for me. I have no squeaks rattles or wind noise . At least to 110 mph. I like having the sports mode option. I guess my car is perfect foe me. I'm really glad I purchased it!! Best car I ever owned.
Why does the Coupe have a plastic trim piece at the top of the windshield and not glass? Why does the roof come down over the sides - why doesn't the glass go higher? And wouldn't that be cool if the spoilers were see-through?
Wouldn't that be nice if the extra weight added to the Coupe because of the Roadster was offset by extra horsepower?
And is anyone here who prefers the "crummy" setting over the sports mode?

As for the glass going higher and the roof coming down over the sides I like it just as it is and was an obvious design choice by MINI. I see no problem with it and glad they took a risk in design unlike virtually every other auto manufacturer who seem to mainly follow the design du jour.
While I might like sport mode to be the default instead of the other way around I'm glad the "crummy" mode is there. It saves on MPG and o doubt causes less wear on the system which for most stop and go commuting long distance travelling is an wise choice.
