Roadster Cooper S An "Impractical Plaything"

That is what The National concludes in its review.  But, it also says:

The Roadster scores over the Coupé in being a more visceral and invigorating experience, especially because you can revel in the exhaust's more parpy note once the sports button is pressed. The massive central speedometer remains useless but is now a signature design feature, but all the info you need is in front of you.
