Great review, I just ordered one last night. This will be my 3rd Mini Cooper, the only issues I have had was a defective battery on my 2nd Cooper S. My leases have been 4 years and the warranty is 4 years so if anything should happen like my battery it is 100% covered by mini/BMW, the only thing not covered is brakes. ( in Canada), The customer service I have experienced has been excellent.
hi mike would appreciate your advice , do u spend a lot of money on petrol with the mini , ive been told not to bother as fuel consumption for mini is crazy
You have to pay so much for extras like electric seats and heated seats here in the UK. We don't even have an option for a panoramic sunroof. It's a stylish little car but you would get so much more with other cars.
I have the F55 2018 cooper S with the 7 speed auto box. I think it's awful personally, always feels like it's in a gear higher then it should be. When you are doing 50ish on the motorway and go to overtake there is a total drop off in power whilst the gear box tries to respond and drop down a few gears. I end up driving everywhere in sports mode.
Have the same. Got mine March 2020.. Same engine, same colors and stripes but manual . I did buy black OZ rims to keep the basic silver for the winter It's my go to work car as the we have a bigger car as well. So I normally drive alone. Such a treat this car. I only found one issue with it and it's the 15" Wheels.. Other than that just a blast. Done 50k km love it and just the perfect color
I thought they are only mounted when the car is equipped with LED Headlights. Otherwise maybe included in packages or an option wich is not applied to that car. The shown car is not well equipped. Pretty basic.
ER.... The Kia Picanto. Your kids gave 6.5 or something. This little 'posh' car was 8.5 I think. Maybe they've inherited up market taste as so called 'premium brands' get extra cache.... I guess that's good in an inverted kind of way.
I think if you ever tell a friend to buy a Mini, you're a pretty bad friend because anyone who does their homework would know that these things are hopelessly unreliable and have terrible customer service. Mini is right down there with the Fiat-Chrysler group, if you buy one and keep for even a few months you'll be sent broke just with parts and servicing costs. I think that all these motor journalists should mention that but never do, pretty dodgy of them tbh.
My Mum bought a Mini Cooper SD All4 Clubman 2 years ago and we haven’t had a single problem with it. It’s fun to drive, the quality is excellent and it’s even quite practical. One of her friends bought a 3-door-Mini and in love with it too. I haven’t heard a single bad word about the quality eliability of Mini products.
@Lukas ja : jeez just google it! As a rule the first 12 months production of each new gen of Mini is to be avoided. However after 12-18 months the poor suckers who purchased early help BMW identify and sort the issues. By 2016/17 you’d hope the reliability issues with the current gen would be mostly sorted. Still doesn’t resolve the outrageous purchase and option prices and high servicing costs relative to the Japanese and Korean competition
@@roxannew7075 I'm sorry but you're 100% wrong. You're referring to the 2014-2017 Pre-LCI refresh models. ALL 3 & 5 doors come with full front-rear LEDS & 6.6inch touch screen as STANDARD. :)
The model your refering to is the 2019 model that just came out around March this year in the UK. As it takes around 3 months for these cars to arrive in Australia, mini Australia hasn't started advertising these models as yet. And all the cars built before then don't have these as standard features. You can also refer to the mini Australia website, to view the current base model in Australia. So this is still a 2019 model, just an early 2019 model.
Mini has character and is a blast to drive.
Nice to see a review on something other than a Cooper S or JCW
Got to add 👍 for the actual real life uses commentary
Goood.
I love the interior in this car.

Wow Mini 5dr looks gigantic beside her.

Import one from the continent
Stylish cars! I love the back lights on those new one's 👌🔥
I see you are reviewing the Mini Cooper Limousine
I have the F55 2018 cooper S with the 7 speed auto box. I think it's awful personally, always feels like it's in a gear higher then it should be.

is the 3 cylinder enough for city/highway driving? sorry just used to Toyota engines that are typically 4 cylinders
Have the same. Got mine March 2020.. Same engine, same colors and stripes but manual . I did buy black OZ rims to keep the basic silver for the winter
It's my go to work car as the we have a bigger car as well.
So I normally drive alone.
Such a treat this car. I only found one issue with it and it's the 15" Wheels.. Other than that just a blast.
Done 50k km love it and just the perfect color
Odd that AU didnt get the new headlights in 2019
I love these reviews but does the cx3 ever get a break 🙄 the cx30 is coming out for that exact reason!
They did a long term test in the states for a year, what didn't go wrong? Priceless review!
I got a 2019 cooper with LED and internal lights. It's beautiful.
You guys need to look at the emerald gray. Do get a JCW finish.
Oh I have the face-lift version.
My dream car
Please give details of turning circle and demonstrate in your videos. Helps alot in City leaving.
4 star?
Wait.. why do you need a massive reversing camera screen to park a Mini? It’s not a Land Rover
Are they reliable?
Bmw owned- meaning till about 100k km
Is it good for a man around 6'1-6'2 height? (I love it)
George Gkiokas yes on their website they have testimonies from people who are 6’8!
I'm 6 feet 200 lbs and I fit great in mine (2015 5-door F55). TONS of room.
Im also 6'8. and about 200lbs and i have plenty of room. You can drive with 4 adults but put the smalles one behind the driver.
George Gkiokas noooo
You will but not comfortable trust me
Canada?
Nice car n nice review i like.👍
where is the union flag rear tail lights???
I thought they are only mounted when the car is equipped with LED Headlights. Otherwise maybe included in packages or an option wich is not applied to that car. The shown car is not well equipped. Pretty basic.
coz its the british flag and we all know us cockneys are the best

come for the car, stay for your smile.
What are the dimensions of this exact variant of car in mm?
3980mm length. 1980mm with sidemirrors. without im not sure. around 1760mm. And the hight is 1450mm.
Holy hell that thing is huge.
Maybe she's just super small.
@@JamesLStapleton lol
At 0:50 the car looks massive.
i didnt see any car....
You hardly need a parking camera in a mini cooper.
At least you don't have the ridiculous Union Jack rear tail lights!
Where is the arm rest
option

Vintage Eagle what kind of things go wrong with mini cars?
@@thomasyouil4504 everything you could think of really lol
Vintage Eagle take a read of this.

That is NOT a 2019 model. All new models, as standard, come with front/rear LEDS, touch screen & steering wheel controls.
Wrong
@@peterdurnell3325lol I'm not wrong.
They are not included in the 3 and 5 door base model. You can get them when you upgrade to the active pack.

Why are you so happy and excited ?
Why are you so depressed and frowning?
PS 357 🔥🔥🔥super race car🔥🔥🔥
Thks.
wow its at least twice the size of a real one...lol.
I have thic car but is black it is so cool
Attitude 🔥 🔥🔥
$33000 ? indonesia $100000 ... 😢
How did bmw manage to make this car more unreliable than bmw's own car?
😍
33k seriously u could have bought golf GTI with the money no only golf there are so many other
Golf GTI are almost double the cost of this version of mini here.
A Mini is build for fun, so the 3 doors is the one and the one closest to the original. The rest are just fashion item for posh people.
You look charming
I own a R56 and this 5 door is the abomination of the Mini lineup.
For mad scientists who keep their Mini's in jars, here's a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness? Mmmmn. Minty.
The 5dr one is so ugly compared to the 3rd 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Whaaaaa..... What do u think about Clubman then?
yes
How toll you are? Mini looks like a giant car :)
