So i was at a local Mini dealership event last night. I won a weekend with the 2013 Mini of my choice (date TBA).

I'm going to ask for the 2013 Mini cooper JCW GP (if they'll let me ) that's on the lot.

If they say no, what should I try? Should I even ask for the JCW GP? How's the coupe?

 

If it were me, I ask for a JCW roadster. THe coupe has some visibility issues. (IMO) I don't like it. I think it's dangerous.

 

+1 on the GP, and make sure that your weekend coincidentally happens to be the same date there's a HPDE at a track nearby.

 

Check the fine print on the entry. If there are are no restrictions stand your ground. GP JCW! Besides, you were apparently in a MINI dealer for a reason right? Of course it was because you are interested in buying the new GP.,

 

+1

 

@RichardSperry The Roadster does look like more fun than the coupe...

@MIB4840 haven't seen the fine print yet, but... I'll give it a try!

 

The Roadster has more visibility issues with the top UP than the Coupe does, so if you go that route, make sure that it's a sunny weekend, and take a hat with you.

If you adjust your mirrors right, the Coupe is fine. You learn quickly how to use your mirrors optimally. Parallel parking takes a bit more practice.

Have fun!

 

You want to turn heads go JCW coupe and watch the heads spin, want crazy fun driving go GP.

You won't lose with any JCW, but for me it's
1. GP
2. Coupe

We have both, and let me tell you with the coupe you mine as well be driving a Ferrari with all the attention you get.

 

Lol, how's the GP treating you? Any problems?

 

Well I don't have too many miles yet, but that said
It pops like CRAZY which is awesome! Think popcorn

I'm really not missing any of the things I was worried about like the stereo or controls

Car is better then I was hoping for.

I'm serious about the coupe
Have fun!

 

The visibily issues in the roadster with the top up are far worse than the coupe's! That and the increased road noise made us choose the coupe.

Choose the GP and else the coupe or roadster depending on the weather :-)

 

I get the mini this weekend. They sold the GP :( but I get to drive a JCW Coupe! I'm super excited!
