    Encouraging you to use the other hand when opening a door helps you to check for cyclists as you twist your body. It's actually part of the Dutch driving test.

    @mbrunnme 5 лет назад +52

    You know what? Those door handles might be a safety feature. Reaching across with your opposite hand forces you to turn your head so you're more likely to see cyclists coming up next to you. The ol' Dutch Reach.

  • @geetee4037
    @geetee4037 5 лет назад +6

    Using your opposite hand to open the door saves you taking out cyclists and is taught in Scandanavia. It forces you to look before opening. Great review guys.

    @tristincozine9644 5 лет назад +14

    It’d be really cool if you guys could get a new Mini convertible before winter, and once it starts getting colder, maybe test out the new Clubman! Also those older Clubmans are one of my favorites!!

  • @wizardmix
    @wizardmix 5 лет назад +6

    +TheStraightPipes This one gave me an idea: I'm a US guy but I grew up on some Canadian programming, remember "You Can't Do That On Television" ??? (maybe you don't because I might be a little older) but they did this thing called the Opposite Skits, look it up. Anyhow, every so often you two should unexpectedly switch roles.

    @davidduarte3478 3 года назад

    Been watching you guys for over a year now, trying to decide what I wanted when I had no boundaries for cross-shopping other than price. I seriously got so close to a Q5, A5 sportback, AllRoad, Stinger GT2, and Stelvio at different points. Then I found this MINI 2 weeks ago and came back here to watch your review. Bought a Countryman S ALL4 with JCW package (unfortunately not the engine; couldn't find one) yesterday! Thanks, guys! Looking forward to continuing to watch all of your videos even though my car search is done. (for now! Haha)

  • @piquetuk

    This new gen is a massive improvement over the previous version in terms of looks and perceived interior quality. In saying that the Mk2 Clubman is IMO, the best looking one after the 3 door hatch. It is so well proportioned compared to the 5 door and the aforementioned Countryman

  • @seamonkey420

    Thanks for the video. I was just suggesting ‘smaller’ cars this weekend ... I hadn’t considered this a a possible recommendation. But after watching your video... the regular Mini might worth ‘thinking’ about... well at least a Test Drive. Thanks again.

    • @bradcomis1066
      @bradcomis1066 5 лет назад +1

      If your careful with the application of options they can be quite affordable and they usually have much better colour options than other manufacturers.

    • @kellingtonlink956
      @kellingtonlink956 5 лет назад

      My concern about recommending the Mini was that “I’ve heard” that 100% of the automatic transmissions have failed or will fail. The individual (that I was assisting) cannot drive a manual ... sadly. Aside from that I don’t think you could find anyone who doesn’t like the Mini’s unique style. I love them.

    @colingoldthorpe5918 5 лет назад

    I have a 2013 Paceman Cooper S ALL4 its a great car but on run flats it is barely tolerable it is bone jarring stiff on Canadian roads (Alberta). I changed them over as they don't last 20K KM. Once i changed the tires the car was much more tolerable. It is a blast in the snow and in the winter but you have to be realistic as to what it is. It has been reliable so far and good gas mileage. When you bump into another mini driver it's always a wave and nod to appreciate that you bought something different than the boring normal....
