Only in the Netherlands with their extreme "luxury taxes" (BMP "Belasting van Personenauto's en Motorrijwielen")! In Germany for example the Mini Countryman JCW (300hp) comes at a base price of €56,600€ incl. 19% taxes. Even with all options combined the price is not higher than €66,400 incl. 19% taxes.
Depending on the driving mode chosen, the noise may decrease, though I can't guarantee it will disappear entirely. I enjoyed the car; it handles, steers, and shifts superbly. However, I don't believe it's worth €86,000.
I would believe there is a toggle in the settings that allow you to disable it. This is based on another video I don’t recall well and I don’t have this car so take it with a grain of salt
Thanks for the video! Is this worth considering since the GLA 35 and probably rsq3 are in similar price range but are somewhat better performance wise?
The GLA is priced similarly to the Countryman. However, the RSQ3 costs 40,000 euros more when new. Although I haven't driven the GLA, the RSQ3 outperforms the Countryman JCW with 100 hp more and better handling. Additionally, the RSQ3 offers 25 liters more luggage space, and its sound truly embodies a high-performance car. If the speakers fail in the Countryman, it diminishes the sports car experience 😅
@@GDrives_NL probably the mini for its uniqueness. Still not sure how it handles and accelerates compared to the GLA 35. I also noticed there's a subtle lag with the display when operating it. Did you notice it during your time with the mini ?
First of all, I love your name. Gheorghe Popescu was my childhood hero together with Hagi 😍. What a price difference. You're absolutely right, in Romania it does indeed cost just under €55,000. I understand what you mean and of course it is not wise to push the car with so few km, but that is what a demo car is for. How many KM's do you have on it? What do you think of the car?
@@GDrives_NLClose to 800. It itches, but i'll wait to see the full potential from 2000km on. Great car. Best Mini experience (haven't tried the 2024 Cooper, yet).
Het ronde entertainment scherm is mooi maar de spraakbediening is belachelijk😂. Heb je trouwens de mogelijkheid om een keer een Jaguar I-Pace POV te maken?
Eens, het OLED scherm is fantastisch. Misschien wel 1 van de betere schermen die ik ben tegengekomen in een moderne auto. Het was geen goede match tussen mij en de spraakbediening 😝 Waarom de I-Pace? Ben je van plan om er 1 aan te schaffen?

@@GDrives_NL You will pay full sticker price, no discounts. Mini sales down double digits vs last year. For the price of that Mini you can do a lot better

There is a way to turn off the fake muffler sound, correct? What do you think about cabin noise and ride comfort in general?

I looked it up and it's called Active Sound Design (ASD). You can turn off this sound by bypassing the module. There is plenty to find on Google.
Yes, in the current version and older cars you can use OBD port and BimmerCode. Hope Mini does not restrict this in future cars

@@GDrives_NL thanks for the reply.
@@gyekeleeYou're welcome. What do you prefer?

Absolutely not. The OLED screen is great. I was positively impressed by the colors, responsiveness and ease of use.
Mine was 55000 Euro (full option). Just bought it in Romania. Should you rev the car so high under 2000 KM?

@@GDrives_NL Klopt, ze zijn nu goed geprijsd en hebben een prima actieradius.
Welke bouwjaar zou je dan willen?
@@GDrives_NL Tussen 2018 en 2020
Gaaf! Ze zijn idd goed afgeprijsd. Nieuw beginnen ze bij ongv. 100k 🤯.
LMFAO 86k. WTF is wrong with them... this car isn't worth 35k.
In Romania you can get this car for half the price 😅
Wait... that price is correct!?
Yes, why are you surprised?

@@schaerfentiefe1967 1 europe, but so many differences. Especially the taxes 👎🏻
Priced too high. Full MSRP no discounts much better options at lower prices
What do you mean?

@@rmeyer52 totally agree. The prices of mini are ridiculous. At this moment they sell a Countryman for €92k 🤯
The start/stop button is a major downgrade from Gen 3.
On the other hand, they have improved the OLED screen.
yield to cyclists
What do you mean?
