I just ordered mine in this exact color and trim level, only differences being the 18' Pulse Spoke wheels and the silver roof/mirrors. This will be my first ever Mini!
@@thomasv.pedersen3068 I’ve been greatly enjoying it! So fun to drive and easy to live with. Coming from a Nissan Pathfinder this feels like a slot car. Also feels nice to have relatively good fuel economy despite being driven rather spiritedly. All in all, I love it!
@@WilliamRivera343 awesome man! Glad to hear you are enjoying it. This one is definitely on my radar for when it’s time to swap out the current vehicle.
@@WilliamRivera343 Hello. I’m reaching out to ask how are you liking your Mini so far? Did you have any concerns about its long term reliability before purchasing? Has it been reliable so far? What are your pros and cons? Do you have any buyers remorse ? I saw a 2023 Mini Cooper S on Autotrader and deeply considering getting it. It’s my dream car, but there are some nay sayers due to its past models.
@@leom00n79 I've been enjoying it so far. It has been solid and dependable while being a genuinely fun ride. These current (F56) gen Minis are pretty solid as they use the BMW B46 engine which is why it is much more reliable than the 1st and 2nd Gen (R53 & R56 respectively) Minis. F56 Minis, especially 2017 refresh and forward are actually very good cars with the main thing to watch for being motor mounts as the car goes up in age and mileage. If you can get a good deal then I say go for it or wait for the 4th Gen F66 Mini that should go on sale sometime in 2024. F66 will have the same engines as the current car but with a different tune.
Thanks Logan everything is fine on my end I appreciate the concern! Wish you and everyone around a speedy recovery I saw things got really rough around there.. glad you’re okay!🙏🏼
Definitely a fun car to watch in a review. I have a few British friends who now live in the US and buy nothing but Mini Coopers...they swear by them. Personally I'm not fond of the instrumental panel in the center of the dash.
It was a very fun car to drive! The center instrument panel takes some getting used to but it’s a signature for Mini, plus with the HUD it’s really not too bad!
Cars are seldom reviewed from the day-to-day maintenance perspective. Minis are a bear to clean and detail -- so many jutting out corners, odd-shaped surfaces, tight spaces between seats and console elements. I own the 2006 S and this is a tough sell for me. Not a lot for that 36K.
Any mini copper is not that reliable. I bought one for my first car and had it for 4 years and it needed constant engine maintenance. Yes every car needs maintenance but the engine for these cars is not that good. And they are a little pricey. The drive is fun but I feel like you can get a better car for the price.
@@GooseVan they rank as reliable in most surveys. I have had no issues with my 2014 model or my 2019 model. You could be unlucky, but that could apply to most brands or manufacturers if you happen to get a duff one.
🚙🚙🚙 Unfortunately, all the Mini series have the same flaw - all the versions have very noisy cabin interiors during driving time. I do prefer a very soft-butter drive.
The AC in this car literally takes until the cows come home for them to finally start blowing out air when you turn it on. I live in California right now where it’s 100+ outside and the inside of my mini I can only imagine is way hotter And when I turn on the ac I literally have to fkn wait outside a good solid minute until they start blowing air. I might be exaggerating on the time but holy shit I’ve never dealt with this with any car let alone a 2023. My 2011 box truck from work has a way better Ac and turns on when you actually turn it on
i shit you not. a friend of mine bought a brand new mini cooper a couple years ago... 3 months and 2800 miles later from the purchase date the entire engine needed to be replaced.
@@leom00n79 I’m not a fan of mini coopers. At the time I was trying to love them because he owned one then he told me his horror story. Might’ve been a mini copper S
This F55/56/57 generation is probably the most reliable out of all of the modern minis now that everything is built by BMW oddly enough and none of the powertrain is outsourced anymore. 14s and 15s had some initial issues but overall they’re way more solid then they have been since 2001.

I really love this All-new 23" Mini Cooper S.
Terrific job with your content as always bro.
Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder SL 4WD!
Nice spec, they call that colour British Racing green! That spec is called Level 3 here in the UK. I am in Oxford, where this car is built.
The rebel green on the JCW looks like a more authentic BRG than this green, nice as it is though.
Level 3 is for the electric. This looks like the Cooper S exclusive in the U.K.
@@cheekythrillz correct I have the Clubman Exclusive variant. I thought that was the electric initially.
A textbook review of a fun car! 👍👍👍👍👍
great video, hope you are alright after the storm. I'm in Naples, and we got slammed but we will bounce back.
Thanks Logan everything is fine on my end I appreciate the concern! Wish you and everyone around a speedy recovery I saw things got really rough around there.. glad you’re okay!🙏🏼
The only thing that hurt Naples are the thousands of New Yorkers that moved there and ruined the housing market 😢
The dial in the center console is also touch controlled, my 2016 Mini has it.

Thank you very much
Your camera position is too high bro. But thank you for this great car review. Love that!
Love my 2017 Mini Cooper S Convertible best little ever ❤ So much fun to drive 😎 Sports mode always on lol
Do all 2023 S 2 door hardtops come with a sunroof? That’s what salesman told me.
I've heard it can be ordered without sunroof if you spec it out at a dealership

Curious: Why are blacked out trim/emblems so appealing?
Personal choice. I think gorgeous
This or polo gti 2023 ?
Is the countryman S fun like cooper s ?
No
love from India..!
Is Mini Cooper S or Mini Cooper JCW a reliable car????

@@LorenzoC2314 not so anymore. Reliability from 2014 onwards has been very good.

This is very rare
I feel like I'm on a ship at sea trying to watch this video. I'll go somewhere else that has a steady camera. 1:27 into the video, I quit.
How can you a review a 2023 car when it is October 2022?l
That's when it's lauched
I have never heard of automatically adjustable seats !
I have heard of electrically adjustable seats!
You need to get your jargon right!

Is that a fact? Heard nothing bad about any of the latest mini cars. Maybe pre 2014 they have issues but not so much now.
