I have posted these in the JCW Forum accross several posts. Thought it best though to put the links together.
The JCW Mini has been reviewed by a few magazines as a First Drive. Here are the ones who have published articles on the web so far:
Autocar: Mini John Cooper Works - Road Test First Drive - Autocar.co.uk
Car Magazine: Mini John Cooper Works CAR review | Road Testing Reviews | Car Magazine Online
4Car: Mini John Cooper Works (200
| Car Review | Road Test | 4car | Channel 4
Drivers Republic: DRIVERS-REPUBLIC.COM - Drivers Republic is a digital publication containing a website and digital magazine with videos, in-depth features and the most imaginative driving stories..
Most reviews are average, speaking of torque steer aplenty, and the new EDLC not being up to the job on B-roads, away from the track. Sounds like a fun car though, if not the most sorted in the class - maybe how a hot hatch should be?
"Car Keys" have an interesting take on the torque steer issue on p2 of this: MINI John Cooper Works | Road Tests, Auto Features
Auto Express: MINI Cooper | First Drives | Car Reviews | Auto Express
best verdict yet, though its not exactly an in depth review.
Top Gear: Mini John Cooper Works - Top Gear
Pistonheads: MINI John Cooper Works
Theres now a more in depth auto express review: Mini John Cooper Works | Car Group Tests | Car Reviews | Auto Express
