- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- There aren't many convertibles on the market today so Bob finds the best one that you can get and drives it around Kildare having some fun in the open air.
Note: it’s a 2ltr petrol and not a 1.5 as stated in the video.

Hiya Bob. The Cooper S is a 2.0L I4 turbo not a 1.5.☺️
Your reaction to that Tiida was hilarious 😂 I love these slightly less serious reviews, it's good craic to see you having the craic while out driving
Ha. Made me chuckle that. Have to ask though what on Earth is a Tiida???
@@antwonefernandez7554 Nissan Tiida.
they are hideous
Really enjoyed that, thank you. Pricey but fun 😁
What an awesome review! Very honest, and as a Mini fanboy I would buy one anyway!
Really enjoyed the video!
great video Bob! I like that blue colour!
It was nice to see you giving us the mpg as opposed to my having to convert your figures to mpg from l/100km though I find it hard to believe you'd get 60mpg out of it on a motorway.
Nice video bob. Super excited for whenever the bmw video comes out
We are allowed to wear cool caps here in Spain. Fancy that, a cap to keep the sun off. Who’d have taut it! Love your videos.🧑🏽🎨
I used to have very high spec 2014 cooper S with 2 litre turbo, was a great car. Its surprise to see this latest model with only 1.5 engine and the same dashboard which is now 7 years old design. Another thing im shocked its the lack of LED headlights and touch pad, especially on press car...
Good review
I'm a mini fan. I'd die for a GP EPIC.
You should set up some stationary camera or mic at the road side and drive by for the exhaust note (or somehow get it done in a tunnel!) 👍
have to say enjoyed the review Bob! passat review insignia review and volvo review put me right on the last three cars was it just this cooper S being a rag top you liked or was it a good fun car to drive wether it had a roof or not ? considering an auto hard top now i dont do the motorway miles i used to!
A Cooper S is a 2.0 180bhp, not 1.5. Laughed at the Tiida reaction - exactly what I’d have said.
Nice kicks Bob. Where did you get those bad boys 😁
They are Adidas Terrex trail runners, very comfy off-road as Continental make the sole but they are cold to wear in winter
Doubt the roof would cope with tree sap and bird crap very well. 🤔. Nice review Bob.
Lovely car Would love to have one Bit expensive though
I’m surprised you can get them with halogen lights in Ireland. LED’s as standard here in the UK
Confirmation bias lead me here. Wanted to hear how awesome my new car is.
A fun review. You'r a howl. Enjoyed watching that but €48k would get you a very nice second hand low topless milage import merc
How many times do you drive with 3 to 4 people in this car when you dont have a fam?
Bob, the Cooper S is a 2.0 four not a 1.5 like you said at 10:09. The Cooper has a 1.5 3 cylinder. I'm guessing that UK is the same as Eire.
Mini documentation says the one in the video is a 1.5 producing 192hp so I assumed we were getting the smaller engine to save money on taxes.
Shaking fist at vrt
@@BobFlavinVideo Ah, maybe it's an Eire only version then. UK MINI website shows Cooper S is a 2.0 four same as the JCW but detuned to 192.
MINI.ie says 192 engine is a 2.0 four as well.
Docs I got said 1.5 which confused me but I went with the expert press release. Maybe it’s wrong
I have had two convertibles. When I drove converted I always thought that it would be so much better with the roof back on and air condition turned up. I took my Golf Colour cabriolet to the south of France. Too hot and we got sunburnt. There are about three days a year in the UK when a convertible makes sense. It not about sense. Mini Convertible, hmmm maybe in a few years when some hit the used market.
What year is this ?
Lovely car Bob, but, as someone has said, its not the 1.5, its the 2.0s. Test drove a 1.5 manual, lovely drive,but, that boot is a pain. The rear seats are for small kids or adult amputees only. I settled for a BMW 218. It has the same engine as the mini but more space. Not as brisk or maneuverable but, overall more practice. I also have an A class that has a Renault engine with more power, but, the BMW engine is much better
The Cooper S is a 2 liter. This model is a special edition called sidewalk. which is why this is expensive.
Bet you didn’t regret handing it back once you got into the RS7!!
charismatic car and a man too 😄
So most of the video is spent showing how amazed you are by convertibles.
I knew that the Irish market, LCI MK3 MINI wasn't getting the 🇬🇧 tail lights. But you'd have thought they would still have fitted the LED headlights. The ones with the halo.
The ORIGINAL mini was the best they ever made. All very much downhill from there
Samo Citroen C6
48grand .. Cheese n fries mate ..
Give me the audi over the mini any day
Its just a flag 🇬🇧 🤣🤣
First! Savage little car
*Cough* BMW made..😉
Many broken backs loading that boot
I love it!
Bob Flavin I do too, but I couldn’t see my self sticking a bag of coal in that boot..
@@BobFlavinVideo If you won a competition to win a car and had the choice between this Mini Copper S and the VW ID3, which one would you choose (as a daily driver)?
Sorry but I hate mini drivers, like little jack Russells 🤣
Oh...wundebar!..Now where can I order my overpriced union jack decorated midget car with terrible reliability record and dangerous cheap wiring!?
What do you drive yourself Brian?
