@@TheMINIac true. But I still think the F57 is one of the rare choices of “stylish affordable convertibles”in the market today. I remember decades ago, there used to be more choices of entry price convertibles, be it from Japan, US and Germany.
@the miniac I have decided to get a F57 Cooper over the S at last. Even though the S comes with better bumper and gas cap styling, more horsepower and sport seats. Considered that I rarely speed or high rev and the few thousands dollars cheaper. I opt for the 16” Victory wheels, not 17” and hope they “help” acceleration the the smaller 3-cylinder engine. And I also think small wheels do look nice and classic like the old Minis do. Excited for my first Mini.
Do you think Cooper models don't oversteer that much as Cooper S and JCW? The smaller engine is pretty light compared to the 2.0 litre, what do you think?
It’s not convertible...it’s cabrio. Convertible cars hides the top inside. Cabrios keep the top visible. At last you have roadsters, which are convertibles but 2 seats
You seem to be the one who knows about MINI Coopers...I like the idea of the 3 cylinder but for the life of me I have not been able to find any hot rodding data. What about it, does the 3 cylinder taker to changing chips etc.?

@@TheMINIac I forgive you. :) You learnt there is Mini One Convertible and I learnt you haven't got them in the US. Shame though, little sweet nippy ones, a few changes around furniture and a few dozens of horse power less which I don't mind because I don't use motorways to have need for speed.
@@TheMINIac It is a real shame, One is definitely a great alternative to Cooper and II Gen is reliable and doesn't have many common tech faults. I really wanted Cooper but after close investigation, I realised it is a difference for a collector. Found my perfect Hot Chilli and there isn't many of them on the market either, especially in automatic as the UK is still pretty much in the manual mode. It has a cheap road tax and miles per gallon are also amazing. For my daily trips to work I'm paying £60 a month for almost 500 miles drove. What not to love? I only have to eliminate all the chrome and make it black and it will be my perfect ride.
Hey MINIac If you have to choose based on fuel economy also the reliability of the engine, which will you choose, the cooper or the cooper s? And i think i didn't see a paddle shift on the cooper, is there any on the cooper s? Because I'm planning to get one, thanks before
@@TheMINIac I'm thinkin about putting white te37 wheels on the Caribbean blue and also some army trix valvetronic exhaust, and maybe some ecu tuning to make it bang and pop, what do you think?
Todos suenan bien pero el works es inconfundible suena de maravilla 👌
Great that you compared all three at the same time! Especially I find it hard to find videos about the F57 base Cooper on RUclips.

Excellent 🎉👏🎊

Why do you still get the B46 in the Cooper S? We get B48 in Cooper S models
The MINIac But the B46s do pop and bang as if there's no tomorrow?
That JCW exhaust note may convince me to get the JCW convertible. I have been looking at the S but that exhaust sound is just beautiful.
If that's the kind of a guy you are then where is Mini One Convertible F57? 😳

Hi MINIac,
I started subscribing because I've got an F57 John Cooper Works 2014, which I think has the N18 engine... What do you make of it?
@@TheMINIac
My bad... yes, you're right, it's the R57 Convertible with the N18... had it 3 months... love it. Did you like it?
The MINIac
Thanks... I have a lot of respect for your opinion... All the best for the New Year...
Hey MINIac
If you have to choose based on fuel economy also the reliability of the engine, which will you choose, the cooper or the cooper s? And i think i didn't see a paddle shift on the cooper, is there any on the cooper s? Because I'm planning to get one, thanks before
@@TheMINIac i like myself a fun car to drive though, guess I'm gonna take the s then thanks for the advice bro

@@TheMINIac fits on every car eh? Haha
Honesty buy both then you don’t have choose.
Me encantan los mini son divertidos yo tengo el jcw 2017 f56 ycada dia me gusta mas buen video👍
What's under the Red Cap?
The only red cap on that engine....behind the air filter
That pepper white has to go away.
The MINIac I just think it’s boring AF for a mini.
The MINIac ok that would make all the difference. 👍. Good thinking.
