- 2022 Mini Cooper S 2 Door full review featuring the 2 Door Hardtop Iconic trim level. For 2022 the Mini Cooper gets a slight refresh but maintains its classic look and still delivers a fun drive. But would you choose it over the Volkswagen Golf or even the new Hyundai Veloster N? Let me know your thoughts below. See my 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line Review: • WATCH THIS 2021 Hyunda...
I've always loved the Mini Cooper for its charming looks and quirky interior. I'm glad for 2022 the Mini still retains everything that makes it great despite slow sales as of recent years. I believe the Mini Cooper and some of its higher trim levels would make for a great lease vehicle amongst the competition.

After 25 yrs in my E36, I got a Mini S. Now, everyday, I get to go to Disneyland twice a day! Once on my way to work, and once on the way home. #BeMini
The handles are designed for you to use your right hand to open, (left, in the passenger seat) as by doing so you are forced to turn and look behind you before exiting the vehicle. Good approach to safety.
Only thing I would change with this Mini is that I'd put the previous analog speedometer instead of that five inch instrument display flat display. Glad Mini kept the big circle in the center console and maintained the tradition of the Mini. The Mini is the best looking of all the modern, "retro" cars.
Thanks for another great video I'm going to catch up with the ones I missed over the past month I've been busy
Love these Mini's my first car I bought at 16 was a 68' Cooper S. These do have a little more creature comforts than the old ones but nothing like the oldies. Great look at this little car. Thanks Kevin.
Oh wow that's awesome to know that this was your first car sir that must have been a blast for sure! Thanks again for supporting!
My family bought a 2022 Cooper S Clubman (F54) for the exact reasons that you mentioned: safety, size (can fit my teenagers), and it's fun to drive. Plus I got a comfortable interior, WITH POWER SEATS (that was a must), and all the bells and whistles as part of a package when they price them as add ons in the smaller models. I feel like I got a lot more for my money. Also, I have a manual transmission and I like the stop/start function. It doesn't interfere with my driving since the car restarts as soon as I depress the clutch--it also restarts itself if I sit at a stop too long -- and it helps save on fuel. However, as you said, you can turn it off if it bugs you.
great review - thank you
I remember a german car dealer told me from 2020 all mini cooper's have something called like shifting assist. Whenever you push the pedal the engine raises the RPM slightly by itself so that shifting into next gear is more smoth
One of the few reviewers who knows how to drive and shift a Mini!
Excellent review. Very informative. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice relaxing review . Don’t have any experience with minis, but always thought it’s a cute looking iconic British cars. Have had several bmws, so feels familiar with minis performances . Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that my friend!
Excellent review. We have a '22 S, 2-door, Signature trim. After 6 months with the car, I agree with all of your comments. We wish it had blind spot warning. Power seats would be nice, too. And some of the features we'd like just weren't worth paying up for. Overall, it's a great little car and we enjoy it a lot.
Nice! It really is an enjoyable ride
Nice congrats I'm glad you like it
how is the fuel consumption?
@@themafia33 According to the car's computer, the mileage is just under 28mpg. This is for city driving primarily in the MID driving mode.
you can buy little blind spot mirrors that stick on the mirrors. I have them on my cars and they work great
Really informative and well put together review.
Thank you my friend!
Thank you! Great review!
Glad it helped!
Great review! So 2022 still have muffler pop sounds?
How far back can the front drive seat go when you fold the back seats down, Im 6'2, always wanted one of these, but would have the back seats down all the time for golf clubs etc.
Great review 👍👍
Thanks! 👍
I have a fully loaded JCW and it's the dog's shiny bits, yes it's small but the give away to that is in the name MINI so is most suitable for owner's who don't normally carry adult passengers, just a small child or two maybe? I don't understand why in the comments some posters think they are unreliable, maybe way back in the past with the Peugeot engine but today's MINI is a premium built BMW with many of it's parts including the new BMW B48 engine used in many other cars across their range, suppose mud sticks but hey people open up.
Indeed. Current Consumer Reports has MINI in the top ten for reliability.
😅 thank you my friend and I appreciate you stopping by!
Nice one! Such a lovely car!
Agreed
Cool thanks Kevin!
Thanks again as always sir for stopping by!
I like it car well done 👍
I drove 3 leased Mini 2 door manual. The one I have now is automatic and I don’t think I will go back to manual when this lease is up.
got a 2020 mini cooper in moonwalk grayy, tested the S, not worth the up and as u said the 3 cyl has a almost silly sound and vibration pattern xD
Lovely looking little car. But I still prefer my 9 year old R56 Mini Cooper S……its less loaded than this for sure and less cosmetically enhanced. But thats the last of the real modern classics….
fun ride
Oh and the pink one I saw has those eye lashes by the headlights 🤣😂😹
I would like to ask you if the car has Apple CarPlay technology
This or A class hatch? Znd why
Probably fun to scoot around the city in one of these. But you wouldn't be able to see over or past the big trucks and suvs on the roads today.
I just shift to 2nd and fly by them as quick as possible 😅
Engine sounded pretty good bro 😎
Yea bro I like how smooth it was
@@MeynMotorGroup Nice bro a car so little that definitely helps lol 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
I miss the foglights....
This definitely over the Arbarth for me if I had to be in the market.
Yea Abarth is cool but this is a much higher quality product
@@MeynMotorGroup they don’t make it anymore I don’t think actually.
I like that it's a manual
This car is pretty good for learning to drive a manual. I mean I did it and I'm a real dumbass.
I am interested in the 3 cylinder with DSG with few options for around $26K... looks like a bargain for driving pleasure
Sadly it looks like they upped the MSRP by $3 or $4k for 2023
@@morganlingsweiler9813 They upped the price, but the sunroof is now standard. I found that you can delete the sunroof in an ordered car, but the price is the same, as the price is the same for manual and automatic gearbox.
@@kitgerhart8749 yea after digging more into it, they no longer offer the "classic trim" on the website, however you could order it through a dealer but they have no time frame on delivery. The priority goes to iconic and signature trim Cooper "S"s.
Nice review, just ordered a ‘23 cooper s but with the dual clutch transmission.Can’t wait to drive it
Do you have a delivery date?
@@zrthia1754 according to the dealership they’ll start the assembly process in august and should be arriving by mid november (Fingers crossed)
@@Diego-fn9sf i used to own a civic si and went to the cooper s. And man this things feels way faster way more capable in traffic. Especially with the DSG.
@@toriumai Great to hear that!The dsg is really good and even if 192hp doesn't sound like that much , the engine pushes really well and the whole car feels light , quick and nimble.I'm upgrading my regular cooper (1.5 T 136 hp manual) for the s
What is the reliability of Mini Cooper JCW or Mini Cooper S???
Probably not that great so it’s best not to find out. Just lease and dump
All hail algorhythm 🙌🏻 😂
Undercover sleeper if it didn't have some of the stylings
Yea honestly pretty overlooked these days even amongst its competitors this has a lot to offer
Very funny looking car bro lol
It's a tiny one 😅😂
@@MeynMotorGroup Yes it is bro 😂🤣
NOTI GANG
Haha appreciate it my friend
My neighbor has a Blue Subaru BRZ it looks awesome I wanna know more about them if you get to test one that would be great 👍
I saw a dude drive a pink 9ne with a very girly paint job it had kittens painted on it too 🤣😂🤣 I could tell the poor guy who had to borrow it from his lady was sooo embarrassed to drive it 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I will say this about the Mini I tested here as well as the Wrangler 4xE I tested, never has a vehicle gotten so much attention from the ladies 😅😂 a lady walking her dog waved at me in the mini that's probably reason enough for most people to get one lol
@@MeynMotorGroup maybe that guy I saw driving the pink one knew what he was doing if the ladies like these 😂🤣😂
Can you do a review for a 3dr 3cyl Dct in the future for a comparison with this?
Probably not since this was a manufacturer press car and BMW probably doesn’t have anymore Mini’s in their fleet to give to journalists mainly because these don’t sell and Mini is going full EV moving forward
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks for the heads up..hopefully they up the range for their future EV cars cuz that instant torque would be a blast to drive in these cars
Agreed my friend, Happy New Years!
@@MeynMotorGroup Happy New Year..keep the vids coming!
The steering wheel looks enormously thick
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yo bro 🤝
Hey brother very curious on your thoughts on this little ride lol
@@MeynMotorGroup Lol will do bro 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
Not so pretty...the grill was eaten up by the bumper...
36,000$ Jesus Mary and Joseph that's alot of cheddar for my broke butt 😂🤣😂
I agree that's a ton of dough gotta lease it if you want nicer models like this Iconic
It sounds fun maybe it's the ones with automatic transmissions that people speak bad about
Yes, the models from around 2006-2009 or so had bad automatic transmissions. Which of course have nothing to do with recent years.
I never drove one and I never heard anyone say anything good about these vehicles.i only heard they are junk so let's see how you like it
Their sales have started slow over the past couple years but certainly no one has referred to Mini as junk they are definitely well received cars known for their driving
@@MeynMotorGroup I hope so but I'm assuming the guys who tell me they are junk never drove one or worked on one I guess they just think it's kind of girly but I don't think any vehicles are made girly 😂
No safety gadgets? Yes please, I'll take two. Beeping this and that safety rubbish is an awful distraction. If you know how to drive and you actually watch what you're doing, the absence of all of these warning systems shouldn't be a concern.
skinny rims and tires
I not overlooking these things im looking in the opposite direction😅 can’t stand these little things
To each their own, it's not my style either but it certainly is a great driving machine I'll give it that
Same, never liked these little buggers. I dont like anything fiat especially these straight junk.
This isn't a Fiat...
@@eliji8723 bmw group owns them but you are correct about them being junk
These cars will sell like hotcakes if they are more reliable
Current Consumer Report puts MINI in the top ten for reliability. MINI redid engines, transmissions, and manufacturing processes in 2014. Reliability is fine now.
The British make the best cars 🇬🇧 mini cooper s very re
Nice review but mini = disaster
