Great review Anthony. I've wanted on of these ever since I saw "The Italian Job". The problem is I'd only want one as a once in a while ride. It is just too small for me and no way in hell I would try to get remotely close to 150 mph in one lol! It does look like you had some serious fun driving that one. Only 101 here today and my ride kept me nice and cool. It's supposed to heat up this weekend but that's fine since I think we've seen the bulk of Summer. Hope that you are doing well and happy Wednesday Anthony
They are fun vehicles James unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to use it everyday either as it’s small for my family and to hit that top speed it would be crazy 😂. We got up to the 100’s but after 2:45 my day was o se and had to pick up family. Had an early run with BMW, x5 m competition and x4 coming soon. The weather is taking time to change but seems like a new normal for summer here to stay for a while longer. Happy Thursday everyone James
Thank you for another MINI review. Some RUclips car reviewers have thousands of reviews, Car Confections/Gold Pony, but not one single review for a MINI. I have subscribed.
@@arunimadey23 they both are awesome with performance but the tech is better on 2025 and the styling some like the 2024 better Here is a comparison: 2025 Mini Cooper S 2 door hardtop vs 2024 Mini Cooper S :All Specs &Test Drive ruclips.net/video/rMTnT8Ki4Vg/видео.html
Nice review. It seems like a nice car aimed more at a general audience than the previous models. Does not feel as purposeful as the previous versions. I'll likely shop other marques when I look to replace my current MCS.
1:06 on my 2023 Mini Cooper the front metal piece is painted black, on this car is bare metal (unpainted). Also on the right side the rubber trim (near near the red battery terminal) is already disconnected at the end from the other piece. Sorry but this new model is looking more and more like a cost cutting exercise. The previous generation was much better.
Looks like a swift, for the price get a swift. Mini has lost their essence, they need to do something to avoid loose many customers, i have paid for de reserve at the beginning of the year at my dealer in mexico city, ask for my refund due to the awful changes.
they need to put the fog lights back in the bumper. i had a 2015 but it got totalled in a fender bender. on the mini configurator, it cost about 34k for a decently speced S. the non S is about 3k less. i don't think it's worth saving the 3k because you get 40 more hp. but if you just plan on driving in the city, it probably doesnt make a difference. also, they don' t have the jcw package available for the 2 door. wish they did.

You’re welcome and thanks for joining the channel
I want the manual transmission back in the Cooper S, making the Mini fun to drive.
The Mini is still fun though 😁
@@HawkeyeRides I got the 2024 with manual. Don't think I would have bought one without it.Would have gone with a more practicalcar.
Which model is better 2025 or previous? Im looking to buy and im very confused which one to choose

I like the host's accent.
@@khorkina2010 thank you
If the main screen is showing navigation, is there a rev counter anywhere?
No lighting for the visor mirrors or in the glovebox?
Head up display and yes it has them
@@HawkeyeRidesThanks Anthony, excellent review.

They still keep the Mini feel alive but it has changed
very nice car
@@vladdorel9081 they are awesome
Amen ,sad. I look at my2020 ountryan, and wanna hug it. Last of its kind
Times have changed for the Mini but it’s still a fun vehicle
i just can't take this car seriously with that styling
When you drive it, it’s still a Mini and fun 👍

It will take time for everyone to like the styling again but the fun to drive and Mini heart is still a live 😃

@@VerifitecVerifitec-tm1be the changes will take time to get used to and some may never go back
That front end is awful.
It will take time to get used to that’s for sure

What a poxy looking car
Depends on a persons needs
I do not like it!
It is different 👍
...ummm, let me guess... it's as big as a whale?
@@davidhunternyc1 no not really
