Hvala vam - I had 3 choices of brands ( and models ) of cars to buy none of which was a Mini but, after watching your video I did some research, and one month later I bought a secondhand Mini Cooper 2019, 3 doors in prime condition and not too many km. ( intense blue with two black stripes ) I love it!
@@carmen-juliesantorini they are already live so it's best to just type "MINI Cooper Crospotter13" and you should be able to find them, or just go to my channel and you have searth tab there :) night POV drive, details etc all is there :)
Love Mini’s I just got a 2019 cooper with the John cooper works trim in chilli red with black strips, black wing mirror and roof. You’re all black one looks cool too
crospotter13 it’s a Cooper S it’s chill red with a black roof black door mirrors and wheels. Its an automatic transmission got it for my fiancée to use I’ve been teaching her to drive manual for a year but she can’t get her head around them. I’m a driving instructor and have an Audi A3 for work but she’s from the Philippines and let’s say she has a low centre of gravity so struggling to see over the steering wheel 😂 plus it’s her dream car to have a mini but since we have ordered it I’m starting to fall in love with it too.
Nice review. My wife just bought a 2019 F55 Cooper S chilli red, so I'm checking out all the Mini clips to see (1) What other owners think. (2)Pick up any tips or tricks I may have missed in the delivery hand over. The Mini is packed with so many features and I actually love driving it. One mistake I made, was not to order bonnet stripes. The car looks naked without them, so first maintenance service that will be fixed. Just my opinion, but I think white bonnet stripes will 'pop' on your car. Happy driving from Australia.
thanks :) car has little over 14.000 kilometers now and I am very satisfied with it - drives great, consumption is much less than my previous car (Citroen C3) and every time you drive it it brings a smile on your face. I put ceramic coating on the car and did dechrome some parts in the meantime and that video will be live in a few days on the channel so stay tuned :) Also, enjoy your Mini :)
@@notsimplesimon I menat it's better, I need less fuel :) On average in first 25.000 km around 8litres/100 km. On open road/highway around 6 litres, in the city it's up to 8,5 litres/100 km usually, for a petrol car I think it's very good
Cool video mate. Just got my licence yesterday and now next Saturday I have an appointment at the BMW/Mini here in Germany. Cannot wait to get my very first car, my Mini Cooper. So excited.
Really? I quite like the JCW haha, am thinking about goong for the exterior JCW Packgage (side skirts, bumpers, spoiler) as I think it looks more agressive with them
Thanks for the comment:) Yeah that was my second choice but it wasn’t available. I agree that british green is awesome color but I would pair it with black elements 😀 Glad you like the lights 😊 Cheers mate
I’m 1.89cm so we have similar heights. Can anyone fit behind your back while you’re driving in your usual driving position? Or do you have to put the seat all the way back to comfortably drive? Also, do you think that the suspension is too harsh? How is it performing against potholes etc.?
Well I had my friend sitting behind but he is around 1,70 People who are above that can not sit, at least not comfortable if you are same height as me (I’m around 1.87m) Suspension is a bit harsh but that’s why it’s very good to drive. I think the only problem are speed bumps because the wheelbase is not long, but other than that it’s really good. You should have a go and try it - I drove hundreds of cars and this one is among the best that’s why I bought one :)
I just bought this model (2019 UK) in blue/black. The only thing i don't like (and it's a small thing) is the armrest which you have to move out of the way to use the hand brake. Steering is a bit heavy but you get used to it. I just love the design and the 1.5 engine is perfect for the model.
Nice color combo, congrats on your purchase 😀 Yeah the armrest should be up if you want to use the handbrake to the highest position.... Steering feel on Mini is one of my favorite parts of the car as it is heavy and presice 👌 You will get used to it, after driving it for months ( I already have more than 13,000 km) you get used to it and other cars seem to light to steer when you drive them :)
Very good review - I bought one around the same time (in the UK). As you imply, its hard to think of anything else for the price which offers the same level of entertainment etc., for the enthusiastic owner. I look forward to hearing more.
Thanks man! Yeah it really is the best value for money for all those who look for thigs that you just said 😀 I’m at 10,000km on the clock now and just bought the Michelin Alpin 6 snow tyres and looking forward to some of the upcoming roadtrips
Just got a midnight black Clubman. Really digging your stripes. I have a silver roof though. The quality of the car is really high and it’s so much fun to drive. 👍🏻
Thanks and congrats on your purchase 😀 Stripes are great, but I did need to change one of them as on the highway a stone chip damaged it (I made it worse in car wash) but official dealership did a great job of putting the new one in the same place so it’s possible to get then after the purchase if you like them 😀
A good review. It may be because I have a motorcycle for getting my speed fix, but the 3 cylinder Cooper seems to be a much better buy than the more expensive S.
Thanks:) I actually agree, this is very potent and not much difference on 0-60km/h and on city usage. Especially since here in Croatia we have CO2 based tax so S ends up being 5-6k € more than mine
Nice video & very nice car. You have the good extras like the seats from an "S" + the Yours steering wheel, LED lights, navigation etc. I have a 2019 Cooper S in White Silver Metallic with black roof & rearview mirrors. I just did a 1600+ KM trip to Germany and back. The car turned out to be quite comfortable. No pain in the back or legs (I've had that with other cars) and fun to drive at the same time. I've had it since april 2019 and it suprises me by being very fuel efficient. I have the LED lights like you and they are really nice in the dark weather. My summer wheels are forged 18" Double Spoke 534 and the winter wheels 16" cast Loop Spoke 494. I wanted navigation but it's crazy expensive here so I didn't order it. Due to insane taxes we pay for 2-3 cars here when buying 1 and that passes through to extra equipment as well. So like you I also had to compromise.
Thanks for your comment:) I went to Monaco few weeks after buying it and as you said quite comfortable 😀 Yeah options such as LED lights and seats were “a must” 😀 Few weeks ago I bought the JCW Track Spoke wheels 17” and they look awesome (also black) Already 11,000 km on my clock and I am very happy with the car. Which country are you from?
@@crospotter13 I'm getting close to 10000 KM and really like the car. I'm in Denmark where until recently our car tax was 180%. It got lowered to 150% a couple of years ago. Still crazy.
@@onwheels1388 Oh yes heard your country and also Norway next to you have some crazy prices of the new cars. Glad you enjoy the car aswell, I just came from a small 400 km roadtrip today and plan to have another one next week :) Cheers mate and enjoy your MINI
Thank you so much for this video! Best one so far I have seen. It's my dream car and I plan to buy myself a mini cooper ❤️ like yours all in black 😊 Thats my goal for 2021.. I have to work for it. Really informative video.. 👌
thank you very much for the comment, glad you like it and that it was informative :) I hope you get yours :) Work hard and believe in yourself and you will get it for sure:) Cheers mate! PS: I'm also filming my friends 2020 MINI Cooper in Solaris Organge that has 2-3 small changes for year 2020 so stay tuned for that also, coming at the end of the month on the channel:)
Great review, thank you. I am curious about one thing you mentioned in the video, you said your previous car was NA, I am considering a Mazda MX5 or a Mini at present, don't suppose your previous car was an MX5...
Hello, thanks for the comment:) Nope; my previous car was Citroen C3, but I did drive new Mazda MX5 and it’s very fun to drive but I’m too tall for it and also no luggage space at all which is bad for my often roadtrips so Mini is much more practical in that segment. Both are very fun to drive that’s for sure 🏁
It is a short car with firm suspension so it's not the best on bumpy roads. But considering how sporty it drives it's not that bad. It's actually ok. On normal roads it's fine.
Hello mate. You can check out my quick look at the Audi A1 Citycarver: m.ruclips.net/video/UGuwAqUXzlo/видео.html Personally I think Audi it too expensive for what it offers and would go for Mini 5 Door. Do you go off roading or you just like the robustic look of the A1 Citycarver?
Thanks for the comment 😀 Congrats on yours, really a good car 🇬🇧🏁😎 I’m filming new night POV of this with new JCW wheels tomorrow evening so stay tuned 😀
Dobar review ali bio bi jos bolji kada bi na hrvatskom govorio jer na engleskom jeziku sto se tice reviewova, ima ih more a za nase trziste jako malo... Sugestija :) Čestitke na novom autu i želim ti puno pređenih kilometara!
hvala na komentaru:) Stvar je što je na engleskom puno šira publika koja gleda i lakše je doći do gledatelja, dok je kod nas puno užI krug ljudi pa sam se zato odlučio za engleski (imao sam neke videe na početku na hrvatskom ali engleski se pokazao kao bolja opcija, iako shvaćam što želiš reći i slažem se da je jako slabo to zasupljeno kod nas)
@@crospotter13 I chose a lapisluxury blue one with white stripes, a white roof and mirrors and the white 18 inch victory spoke tires 😊 .... and of course the union jack lights ....
Great video! Thanks for the upload! I just bought a 60th Anniversary Edition Mini Cooper 5 Door Hatch and am wondering how much did you pay for yours in your currency? It was nice you went through everything, even the little details that most review videos fail to mention. Thanks again for the upload!
Thank you for the comment, glad you liked the detailed look at the car:) So speaking of the price - MINI dealership in Zagreb had a good offer, so with all this extra equipment (navigation, LED’s, driving modes) the total price of the car was 25.900 €, and also available for financing in 3 payments (one every year, 0% interest rate). Speaking of the 60th anniversary, I just filmed the 3-door version on Frankfurt Motor Show and will upload that soon, very nice car love the leather and added elements inside (green elements on brown seats, green elements on the dash etc.). How much was yours? Is it in british green? 😀
Fantastic information once again! Gives me the idea if I brought a car of good value without making the dealership richer. I'm in Australia and these Minis were selling out fast so got myself a black one just like yours! I ended up paying 23,399 euros for mine which I was lucky to get but the green ones were sold out in like 2 weeks. I don't know how many they made but they were selling fast. I must say I am jealous of the zero interest for 3 years, that's an amazing deal as my finance is at 4.99% for 5 years then I'll fully own the Mini. Thanks for your reply to me too I have a better idea of how companies operate in different parts of the world.
Great, also good price! Yeah financing is actually the main reason why I had to go for the brand new one, was thinking about 1-2 years old car, but with this kind of deal it was the best & most sensible option ✌️😃 Enjoy your car mate 😎
@@Bambotb I prefer 3 door because of the looks. Also, in terms of agility 3 door is better as it is shorter...For driving I would take 3 door but 5 door is more practical. I drove the 5 door variant and it was also very good to drive
Haha yeah 💪💪😀 Congrats 😀 Which spec did you go for? I turned 20.000km on mine this week, drove it to the seaside, still brings smile To my face every time I drive it so much fun 😀🏁
There is a revmatch on normal Cooper if you have Mini Driving Modes (optional extra when ordering), when in Sport mode the car does the automatic revmatch 😀
crospotter13 yay! Mini driving modes comes as standard with jcw pack! By the way how does the standard sound system sound? I heard that there subwoofers below the front seats? Is that true? Nice mini you have! Love your videos
Hello mate:) I paid around 140€, they installed Babyguard tint (most of people say that’s one of the best ones if not the best one out there) so I recommend you this one. This one is 90% tint
@@Lynn-zw7dr no problem :) Love the spec you went for :D If you don't plan on driving fast and in Sport mode maybe regular version is a better choice. Although the S will sound better though
hello mate, yes you can get with automatic and it's a very good one 7-speed dual clutch same as on BMW models. Not sure I understand which screen do you mean? Head up screen in front of the driver? If it's that yeah it's also available but I don't like the head-up display in Mini because the plastic that pops out of the dashboard doesn't look that good I think
Beautiful Mini, but next time pay the extra $150 bucks and tint the front two windows as well. I agree the tints are important for the trunk area but equally important for the driver and passenger windows. Also, it gives the car a better look!
I’ve driven S, haven’t tried JCW. Compated to S, to be honest not that much difference - yes S is faster, but the fun factor is very close with this one as the handling is perfect and with classic road use regular one will be almost as good as S :)
Very very similar, I am filming an in depth review of the 2020 model in around 2 weeks, will be out on the channel around mid-June so stay tuned:) but really small changes (fog lights and mirrors basically, will explain everything and also place my car next to it so that you and other viewers can see the cars head 2 head) cheers ✌️
Mine doesn’t have but I have Bluetooth pairing for calls, and I have built in navigation so don’t need it. But you can get Apple CarPlay for this car though if you need it :) Not sure which pack is in my country, but in UK is part of Navigation Pack...
@@crospotter13 hvala ti od srca. Također i ja vama želim puno lijepih i sretnih kilometara. Moj Mini je je jako sličan tvom, crni je sa ovim crtama na haubi, također crni krov, ali ja imam one kromirane retrovizore. Predivno si opisao novog Minija i njegove savršenosti. Uživala sam u videu i pratit ću vas 😊 lijepi pozdrav od Mini Britanca iz Gospića 😉😊
This is a great channel! I watched your GUMBAL videos and I have to say that it was amazing. Tell me, when you decided to get the Mini, did you test the S model too? I have seen and heard that some reviewers of the Mini actually prefer the sound/exhaust of the 1.5 over the 2.0 -- it sounds more special/original to them. My next Mini will be like yours with the same color and stripes. Maybe I will get the 2.0, maybe not. Anyways, if you have the time, tell me what you think. Cheers again!
Thank you for the comment 😀 Yeah Gumball was crazy and there is a movie that will be more than 1 hour long coming in a few weeks so stay tuned :) I test drove both of them and my friend recently bought the S (but pre-facelift model). When you add JCW exhaust on the S it sounds awesome with all the pops & bangs. When the car is stock (no jcw exhaust) there aren’t that many crackles. Speaking of this sound I really can’t believe they managed for it to sound so good for 1.5 liter engine. I filmed seperate video with just exhaust sound and will publish that very soon. I went for the regular version because in Croatia we have extra tax based on CO2 emmision and that makes the S version around 6000€ more expensive than mine, so that was out of my budget. However maybe in a few years I will go for S or JCW 😈 I am sure your next Mini will look awesome in this spec 😎 Let me know which one you picked 😃
@@crospotter13 So which is best the 1.5 or the 2.0 ? Also can you get the 1.5 remapped for it to go faster ? My 122bhp Golf 09 reg got remapped to 155bhp for just £250.
@@RITWINS well 2.0 is more potent but much more expensive here in Croatia (we have extra tax on CO2 emmision), so this makes more sense. I can get 165 HP on Stage one for around 500 euro so much more sense. And even without that, the car goes 0-100 in 7,9 seconds which is good for a "regular" version
personal taste I just don't like it, in summer it's hot and sun is shining directly to your head, I really don't see the sense in it, I prefer to open the window if I want fresh air and nature sound on scenic road :)
@@crospotter13 With a sunroof the car is more airy inside and if you have a dark headliner it could feel claustrophobic for some people. But I have to say: my climate is always on and i like to open the window too. So for me it‘s more the airy reason I guess. Greetings from Germany.
I am obsessed with this car, exactly the way yours looks (saying I love black on black is an understatement). My only issue is the gas door. Why is it not a locking indoor open one?! Even my Scion tC has that. 😭
Thanks for the comment, glad you like the car and spec 😀 I also put a OEM black rings around lights now and new JCW wheels you can check that on new video: m.ruclips.net/video/5KP8P6WbRX0/видео.html And speaking about door, not sure I understand what do you mean can you explain?:)
@@crospotter13 like someone can be an asshole and easily sugar your tank. You can't open my door to my gas outside, you have to unlock and open the door from inside of my car (and it's only a 20G car when brand new). I'd expect Mini to have that, still love and want the car though. Will definitely check out that video, thanks!
Oh that - I realised that that the gas door can’t be opened when the car is locked :) so that’s a good thing, I was also worried at first but when you lock it door is locked so all good 😀😀 thanks once again for the comment glad you like the car 😀 I’m filming the night POV drive in 2 weeks with my new GoPro8 it will be on the channel so stay tuned 😃😃

I've just ordered the Cooper S, arrives end of September! Orange colour black roof.. 😊👍🏻 well, ordering tomorrow but wondering Cooper v Cooper S re running costs, there's only £250 difference in price but mpg I'm worried about, says 44.5 cooper v 41.1 Cooper S.. but how accurate that is I don't know? 🤔
@@crospotter13 hi leather seats comfort pack, alloy wheels not black, but thinking now whether we should go for the Cooper rather than Cooper S for fuel economy as pensioners, can change mind up to tomorrow lunchtime, how many mpg did you get on Cooper green mode please? We're having the green mode as not speedster's 😉, it states combined fuel 44.5mpg for Cooper 40.1 for Cooper S, it's going to be automatic.
@@Lynn-zw7dr well my friend bought the S version and I can say that mine non-S is much more efficient. In Green mode for sure you can do around 43 mpg on my version
@@crospotter13 I think you've helped me a lot, I think we will go for the Cooper 5 door, as I'm on crutches so need the back doors. I never believe what they say re predicted mpg, I think it all depends if the foot! 😀
Bonjour, Merci pour votre commentaire!:) Il n'y a pas d'usb dans l'accoudoir, il y a un chargeur sans fil dans l'accoudoir Mais vous avez 2 ports USB devant les porte-gobelets
So a black car, with black wheels, black stripes, black windows? You missed a couple of bits you could have made black. Oh, black roof as well....love the car. Just too much black for me.
Haha well black is my favorite color and I think black on black spec looks the best 😀 but there are multiple colors available, was also thinking of British racing green but as I said black is my favorite 😀👌
Taj motor je u velikom broju auti i vec dugo na trzistu ((bmw 118i npr ima spomenuti motor, kao i i8 di je napucan na preko 200ks sto samo dokazuje koliko potencijala ima). Po meni dobro provjerena formula i nebi trebalo nikakvih problema bit, a to sam naravno i uzeo u obzir kod kupnje buduci da ja dosta vozim i prelazim dosta km
Tako je, iz BMW grupacije je model, prosla generacija je bila PSA, tako da je ovaj miljama ispred po tehnologiji i svemu. Novi model se sprema tek za cca 3 godine, sada je ovo taman redizajn tako da stvarno se isplati, ja sam isto prvo gledao rabljeni ali ove ponude sta imaju su stvarno vrh
😂😂 ovo je jednostavnije nego u Sony Movie Studio Platinumu to blurat, jos kad je POV stalno je brzinomjer na drugom mjestu pa mi je ovo jednostavnije rješenje 😁

Great video! I just drive/test a manual 1.5 turbo Cooper. I found the clutch to be suuper hard compared to every other car i driven. Is that normal??
Yes it is :) you get used to it, I actually like it. After that the VW group cars clutch feels so soft, and after some time I started to prefer this

I've had it since april 2019 and it suprises me by being very fuel efficient. I have the LED lights like you and they are really nice in the dark weather. My summer wheels are forged 18" Double Spoke 534 and the winter wheels 16" cast Loop Spoke 494. I wanted navigation but it's crazy expensive here so I didn't order it. Due to insane taxes we pay for 2-3 cars here when buying 1 and that passes through to extra equipment as well. So like you I also had to compromise.
Thanks for your comment:)
I went to Monaco few weeks after buying it and as you said quite comfortable 😀
Yeah options such as LED lights and seats were “a must” 😀
Few weeks ago I bought the JCW Track Spoke wheels 17” and they look awesome (also black)
Already 11,000 km on my clock and I am very happy with the car.
Which country are you from?
@@crospotter13 I'm getting close to 10000 KM and really like the car. I'm in Denmark where until recently our car tax was 180%. It got lowered to 150% a couple of years ago. Still crazy.
@@onwheels1388 Oh yes heard your country and also Norway next to you have some crazy prices of the new cars.
Glad you enjoy the car aswell, I just came from a small 400 km roadtrip today and plan to have another one next week :) Cheers mate and enjoy your MINI
Thank you so much for this video! Best one so far I have seen. It's my dream car and I plan to buy myself a mini cooper ❤️ like yours all in black 😊 Thats my goal for 2021.. I have to work for it. Really informative video.. 👌
thank you very much for the comment, glad you like it and that it was informative :) I hope you get yours :) Work hard and believe in yourself and you will get it for sure:) Cheers mate! PS: I'm also filming my friends 2020 MINI Cooper in Solaris Organge that has 2-3 small changes for year 2020 so stay tuned for that also, coming at the end of the month on the channel:)
Very detailed review! Congratulations on getting your MINI
Thanks✌️😎 glad you liked the detailed review 😊
Great review, thank you. I am curious about one thing you mentioned in the video, you said your previous car was NA, I am considering a Mazda MX5 or a Mini at present, don't suppose your previous car was an MX5...
Hello, thanks for the comment:)
Nope; my previous car was Citroen C3, but I did drive new Mazda MX5 and it’s very fun to drive but I’m too tall for it and also no luggage space at all which is bad for my often roadtrips so Mini is much more practical in that segment. Both are very fun to drive that’s for sure 🏁
Looks like a great car! What kind of mileage do you get?
Thanks!
On highway around 5,8 liters per 100km, and combined so far around 7 liters per 100km (33,6 mpg) but that’s with lot of city driving
@@crospotter13 Thanks. That's excellent mileage. I'm seriously considering getting one.
@@gilltim5711 You will really love it, not only is it good looking, but also a real pleasure to drive. Go for a test drive and you will see :)
@@crospotter13 Thanks for the encouragement. I will!
@@gilltim5711 let me know your thoughts after the drive :)
Great Mini! Thanks for a really in depth introduction to the Mini.
Thanks, glad you like it:)
Stay tuned, FULL NIGHT POV drive coming soon 😀🎥😀
Thanks for your share...I just bought a mini heddon street 5p . Black . Waiting for the delivary in the end of august 🥰
Thanks for the comment:)
Nicee congrats on your purchase, you will enjoy it for sure 😎🏁😀
What do you think about ride quality when you r goin on a dented road?Very good vid btw
It is very good in terms of materials, we’ll see how it goes with years, but so far 10,000km it’s great.
And if you think about the ride itself it is a bit stiff
Thanks for the comment btw 😀
It is a short car with firm suspension so it's not the best on bumpy roads. But considering how sporty it drives it's not that bad. It's actually ok. On normal roads it's fine.
I am confused between two cars and I cannot decide which car to buy. Please help between
Mini Cooper 5 door or Audi A1 citycarver ?
Hello mate. You can check out my quick look at the Audi A1 Citycarver: m.ruclips.net/video/UGuwAqUXzlo/видео.html
Personally I think Audi it too expensive for what it offers and would go for Mini 5 Door. Do you go off roading or you just like the robustic look of the A1 Citycarver?
Great review! Thanks for doing this. Just bought a very similar one for my wife :)
Awesome to hear, congrats and thanks for the comment 😀
Hi mate where can I find the rear window tint, or at least what spec tint is it ?
hello, in my case it's the Skyfol BabyGuard with 90 percent tint
Great review thanks , I have 2019 f56 to and really impressed with the quality and looks :-)
Thanks for the comment 😀 Congrats on yours, really a good car 🇬🇧🏁😎 I’m filming new night POV of this with new JCW wheels tomorrow evening so stay tuned 😀
Dobar review ali bio bi jos bolji kada bi na hrvatskom govorio jer na engleskom jeziku sto se tice reviewova, ima ih more a za nase trziste jako malo... Sugestija :)
Čestitke na novom autu i želim ti puno pređenih kilometara!
hvala na komentaru:) Stvar je što je na engleskom puno šira publika koja gleda i lakše je doći do gledatelja, dok je kod nas puno užI krug ljudi pa sam se zato odlučio za engleski (imao sam neke videe na početku na hrvatskom ali engleski se pokazao kao bolja opcija, iako shvaćam što želiš reći i slažem se da je jako slabo to zasupljeno kod nas)
Hvala i na čestitkama, već je odradio dosta roadtripova i na 9,000 km je:)
It is perfect option not to have very sport car but at the same time strong engine. I prefer classic outside look.
Agree 😀 almost 40,000 km on the clock now and I am enjoying every kilometer
I‘ll get my mini cooper d in two weeks 😍 so excited (it‘s my first car☺️)
Nicee congrats:) You'll love it for sure! Which spec/color did you choose?
@@crospotter13 I chose a lapisluxury blue one with white stripes, a white roof and mirrors and the white 18 inch victory spoke tires 😊 .... and of course the union jack lights ....
@@juliaok3432 beautiful spec, enjoy it :)
What about black colour? How do you feel?
It looks awesome, but I do wash my car at least once a week, often more 😁
Great video! Thanks for the upload! I just bought a 60th Anniversary Edition Mini Cooper 5 Door Hatch and am wondering how much did you pay for yours in your currency? It was nice you went through everything, even the little details that most review videos fail to mention. Thanks again for the upload!
Thank you for the comment, glad you liked the detailed look at the car:) So speaking of the price - MINI dealership in Zagreb had a good offer, so with all this extra equipment (navigation, LED’s, driving modes) the total price of the car was 25.900 €, and also available for financing in 3 payments (one every year, 0% interest rate).
Speaking of the 60th anniversary, I just filmed the 3-door version on Frankfurt Motor Show and will upload that soon, very nice car love the leather and added elements inside (green elements on brown seats, green elements on the dash etc.). How much was yours? Is it in british green? 😀
Fantastic information once again! Gives me the idea if I brought a car of good value without making the dealership richer. I'm in Australia and these Minis were selling out fast so got myself a black one just like yours!
I ended up paying 23,399 euros for mine which I was lucky to get but the green ones were sold out in like 2 weeks. I don't know how many they made but they were selling fast.
I must say I am jealous of the zero interest for 3 years, that's an amazing deal as my finance is at 4.99% for 5 years then I'll fully own the Mini. Thanks for your reply to me too I have a better idea of how companies operate in different parts of the world.
Great, also good price! Yeah financing is actually the main reason why I had to go for the brand new one, was thinking about 1-2 years old car, but with this kind of deal it was the best & most sensible option ✌️😃 Enjoy your car mate 😎
My dream car ❤️
Original car!
Yep 😀😎
Just like my car also black midnight👌Love it!
💪😃 best color in my opinion 👌
Does 5 door drive similar?
Yes I do think so
@@crospotter13 ok but some people say 3 door is better I don't understand, how do you compare them, which ine is better and why ?
@@Bambotb I prefer 3 door because of the looks. Also, in terms of agility 3 door is better as it is shorter...For driving I would take 3 door but 5 door is more practical. I drove the 5 door variant and it was also very good to drive
how to hit 2 likes for manual? Great car man, can't wait for mine to be delivered by the end of the August...
Haha yeah 💪💪😀 Congrats 😀 Which spec did you go for? I turned 20.000km on mine this week, drove it to the seaside, still brings smile
To my face every time I drive it so much fun 😀🏁
So in the “normal” cooper you can confirm there is auto RevMatch? just ordered one with jcw pack and I’m not sure if it’s going to do revmatch
There is a revmatch on normal Cooper if you have Mini Driving Modes (optional extra when ordering), when in Sport mode the car does the automatic revmatch 😀
crospotter13 yay! Mini driving modes comes as standard with jcw pack! By the way how does the standard sound system sound? I heard that there subwoofers below the front seats? Is that true? Nice mini you have! Love your videos
Not sure about subwoofers, but I think regular sound system is great! My friend has the Harman&Kardon, and I don’t think it’s worth the premium....
@@crospotter13 last thing😂 how much for tinting de windows?
Hello mate:) I paid around 140€, they installed Babyguard tint (most of people say that’s one of the best ones if not the best one out there) so I recommend you this one. This one is 90% tint
How many mpg did you get on the Cooper please on Green mode? x
On the highway 130 km/h I managed to get 5,7 liters/100km, which is 41.27 U.S. MPG 😀
@@crospotter13 I'm in UK, so that was sports mode I gather.. 😉
@@Lynn-zw7dr I used the worng converter (US one), in UK converter it says 49.56 MPG :D
@@crospotter13 that's sounds very good thank you! x
@@Lynn-zw7dr no problem :) Love the spec you went for :D If you don't plan on driving fast and in Sport mode maybe regular version is a better choice. Although the S will sound better though
I don't like manual cars, don't they have automatic Cooper and what about the popping up screen at d menu?
hello mate, yes you can get with automatic and it's a very good one 7-speed dual clutch same as on BMW models.
Not sure I understand which screen do you mean? Head up screen in front of the driver? If it's that yeah it's also available but I don't like the head-up display in Mini because the plastic that pops out of the dashboard doesn't look that good I think
Beautiful Mini, but next time pay the extra $150 bucks and tint the front two windows as well. I agree the tints are important for the trunk area but equally important for the driver and passenger windows. Also, it gives the car a better look!
Not legal here in Croatia😅 otherwise would put all black
LOVE MY MINI BMW SUPER FASTER THAN ANY OTHER SPORT CAR
Very nice in depth review. Love that car.
Thanks :) glad you like it, I really enjoy driving it :)
My dream car.
Glad you like it, mine also 😎😀
Your black spec is amazing
have you driven JCW is it much difference?
I’ve driven S, haven’t tried JCW. Compated to S, to be honest not that much difference - yes S is faster, but the fun factor is very close with this one as the handling is perfect and with classic road use regular one will be almost as good as S :)
crospotter13 thank you
Really helpful review. Thanks
My pleasure! Glad you liked it :)
Do you know if this and the 2020 is the same /???
Very very similar, I am filming an in depth review of the 2020 model in around 2 weeks, will be out on the channel around mid-June so stay tuned:) but really small changes (fog lights and mirrors basically, will explain everything and also place my car next to it so that you and other viewers can see the cars head 2 head) cheers ✌️
crospotter13 oh perfect, I’ll buy the chili ver. 2020 very soon that’s why I’m asking ! but thanks a lot I’m very peaceful right now
@@reno2471 nice, congrats :) Yeah video coming your way in a few weeks but as I said, minor changes, great car you will love it :)
Great video

Does it have carplay ?
Mine doesn’t have but I have Bluetooth pairing for calls, and I have built in navigation so don’t need it.
But you can get Apple CarPlay for this car though if you need it :) Not sure which pack is in my country, but in UK is part of Navigation Pack...

Hvala puno 😀
How many maney clothes thiscar,?
This is a great channel! I watched your GUMBAL videos and I have to say that it was amazing. Tell me, when you decided to get the Mini, did you test the S model too?
I have seen and heard that some reviewers of the Mini actually prefer the sound/exhaust of the 1.5 over the 2.0 -- it sounds more special/original to them. My next Mini will be like yours with the same color and stripes. Maybe I will get the 2.0, maybe not. Anyways, if you have the time, tell me what you think. Cheers again!
Thank you for the comment 😀 Yeah Gumball was crazy and there is a movie that will be more than 1 hour long coming in a few weeks so stay tuned :)
I test drove both of them and my friend recently bought the S (but pre-facelift model). When you add JCW exhaust on the S it sounds awesome with all the pops & bangs. When the car is stock (no jcw exhaust) there aren’t that many crackles. Speaking of this sound I really can’t believe they managed for it to sound so good for 1.5 liter engine. I filmed seperate video with just exhaust sound and will publish that very soon.
I went for the regular version because in Croatia we have extra tax based on CO2 emmision and that makes the S version around 6000€ more expensive than mine, so that was out of my budget. However maybe in a few years I will go for S or JCW 😈
I am sure your next Mini will look awesome in this spec 😎 Let me know which one you picked 😃
@@crospotter13 Looking forward to your next productios! Thanks for your reply! Živjeli!
@@lloydgarth1 thanks :) and special thanks for your Croatian :D
@@crospotter13 So which is best the 1.5 or the 2.0 ? Also can you get the 1.5 remapped for it to go faster ? My 122bhp Golf 09 reg got remapped to 155bhp for just £250.
@@RITWINS well 2.0 is more potent but much more expensive here in Croatia (we have extra tax on CO2 emmision), so this makes more sense. I can get 165 HP on Stage one for around 500 euro so much more sense. And even without that, the car goes 0-100 in 7,9 seconds which is good for a "regular" version
I love this car i will take this car its my dream from 10years child how much cost of this car in indian money plz tell me bro 😊
glad you like it and hope you get it :) My price for the car was around 25.400 EUR , which is 2183971 Indian Rupee
Ok tq bro
@@rupamanjula556 thank you for the comment :) cheers!
Why no sunroof?
personal taste I just don't like it, in summer it's hot and sun is shining directly to your head, I really don't see the sense in it, I prefer to open the window if I want fresh air and nature sound on scenic road :)
@@crospotter13 With a sunroof the car is more airy inside and if you have a dark headliner it could feel claustrophobic for some people. But I have to say: my climate is always on and i like to open the window too. So for me it‘s more the airy reason I guess.
Greetings from Germany.
I am obsessed with this car, exactly the way yours looks (saying I love black on black is an understatement). My only issue is the gas door. Why is it not a locking indoor open one?! Even my Scion tC has that. 😭
Thanks for the comment, glad you like the car and spec 😀 I also put a OEM black rings around lights now and new JCW wheels you can check that on new video: m.ruclips.net/video/5KP8P6WbRX0/видео.html
And speaking about door, not sure I understand what do you mean can you explain?:)
@@crospotter13 like someone can be an asshole and easily sugar your tank. You can't open my door to my gas outside, you have to unlock and open the door from inside of my car (and it's only a 20G car when brand new). I'd expect Mini to have that, still love and want the car though. Will definitely check out that video, thanks!
Oh that - I realised that that the gas door can’t be opened when the car is locked :) so that’s a good thing, I was also worried at first but when you lock it door is locked so all good 😀😀 thanks once again for the comment glad you like the car 😀 I’m filming the night POV drive in 2 weeks with my new GoPro8 it will be on the channel so stay tuned 😃😃
please do a night time video and show off the interior lights and the ring in the centre.
Alreday filmed it, will upload it next week :) also full infotainment system tour is on it’s way to the channel too, stay tuned 😎

I've just ordered the Cooper S, arrives end of September! Orange colour black roof.. 😊👍🏻 well, ordering tomorrow but wondering Cooper v Cooper S re running costs, there's only £250 difference in price but mpg I'm worried about, says 44.5 cooper v 41.1 Cooper S.. but how accurate that is I don't know? 🤔
Nice spec, congrats on the purchase, you will enjoy it for sure :) Which wheels did you go for? Also what kind of interior / seats? :)
@@crospotter13 hi leather seats comfort pack, alloy wheels not black, but thinking now whether we should go for the Cooper rather than Cooper S for fuel economy as pensioners, can change mind up to tomorrow lunchtime, how many mpg did you get on Cooper green mode please? We're having the green mode as not speedster's 😉, it states combined fuel 44.5mpg for Cooper 40.1 for Cooper S, it's going to be automatic.
@@Lynn-zw7dr well my friend bought the S version and I can say that mine non-S is much more efficient. In Green mode for sure you can do around 43 mpg on my version
@@crospotter13 I think you've helped me a lot, I think we will go for the Cooper 5 door, as I'm on crutches so need the back doors. I never believe what they say re predicted mpg, I think it all depends if the foot! 😀
That’s a wise choice hope you will enjoy it!
I am in living in Croatia, is it diesel or petrol?
Hello, it’s a petrol one, 1.5 136 HP
Predivan mini 😊
Hvala 😀

Seems more mature, but I also think that S & JCW are so much fun 😎😀

Glad you like it man😀🇭🇷
So a black car, with black wheels, black stripes, black windows? You missed a couple of bits you could have made black. Oh, black roof as well....love the car. Just too much black for me.
Haha well black is my favorite color and I think black on black spec looks the best 😀 but there are multiple colors available, was also thinking of British racing green but as I said black is my favorite 😀👌
Complimenti ottimo video 👍, potrei sapere il diametro dei tuoi cerchi in lega io monto dei 16 😅.
Crospotter da pitam o dugovječnosti motora 1.5 koliko imate info o tome?
Taj motor je u velikom broju auti i vec dugo na trzistu ((bmw 118i npr ima spomenuti motor, kao i i8 di je napucan na preko 200ks sto samo dokazuje koliko potencijala ima). Po meni dobro provjerena formula i nebi trebalo nikakvih problema bit, a to sam naravno i uzeo u obzir kod kupnje buduci da ja dosta vozim i prelazim dosta km
crospotter13 to je bas Bmw motor nije iz psa grupacije?
Sada imaju u Mini-ju dobru ponudu opreme i cijene...također me dizajn i ergonomija osvojila te također razmišljam ozbiljno o kupnji...
Zndate li mozda kada spremaju novi model??
Tako je, iz BMW grupacije je model, prosla generacija je bila PSA, tako da je ovaj miljama ispred po tehnologiji i svemu.
Novi model se sprema tek za cca 3 godine, sada je ovo taman redizajn tako da stvarno se isplati, ja sam isto prvo gledao rabljeni ali ove ponude sta imaju su stvarno vrh
