  • In a world where electric cars dominate the conversation, the new 2024 Mini Cooper 5-Door reminds us why petrol engines still hold a special place in our hearts. Join me as I dive into an in-depth review of the exclusive line Mini Cooper, showcasing its striking design, modern features, and most importantly, its uniquely powerful 2L petrol engine.
    In this video, we'll explore the performance, handling, and driving experience of this iconic hatchback. What sets this Mini apart from its electric counterparts? Why should petrol enthusiasts still consider this model? Whether you're a long-time Mini fan or new to the brand, this review will provide you with all the insights you need.

    Glad to see someone still making petrol cars and thanks for reviewing it

    Love the interior, not sold on the 5 door body shape. Oddly proportioned. 3 door looks better.

    I dunno why some people think they need an SUV when they don't, if you want boot space then most estate cars have more usable boot space than an SUV does

    I have the 73 plate Cooper S - I don't like the rear styling of this vehicle as the twin exhaust has always been a plus. It doesn't have sat nav which I don't mind as mini navigation hasn't always been the best. I agree with you! The 2.0 model definitely needs paddles.

    It’s great to review a 2.0L engine. I like the car, but that tail end would put me off. 👍🚙👍

    At last a review of a car which isn’t an EV 👏 and what about the big elephant in the room with mini and bmw if you order any mini or certain bmw vehicles bmw won’t let the sales garage register the car for the road because of the braking problem with them and as of this moment the parts to fix them ain’t available I’ve ordered the countryman a month ago and it’s at the garage but it can’t be registered until the braking problem has been resolved and there is a few other customers minis and BMW’s in front of my car in the queue so it could be well into 2025 before I get my mini (hopefully not but time will tell 🤷‍♂️) the salesman is relying on second hand sales at the moment which for him is unsustainable!

    Really not a fan of the odd looking 5 door version BUT the main put off for me is there`s NO manual gearbox option available in any new Mini..

    Good call to review a petrol car, specially one made locally. The internals of the mini feature a lot of eye candy.

    I’ve got a 2022 MINI Electric, love it is made in Oxford👍🏻

    My wife has a previous gen (F32) I think. Much prefer that all around really and interior and exterior and the 1.5 3 cylinder engine (that I presume they still use), is ample on the 3 door. I do hope they still do a manual gearbox too as an auto mini takes away a lot of fun. Notice that the price was not even mentioned, with good reason as my word your paying even more now for this brand. Having said that though the build and handling are pretty much unsurpassed in a small car.

    Looks as it should look and I wonder if they'll have a works version. Now that would be worth the wait and make it a real S. Liked the quirkiness of the interior for driver and front seat passenger.

    That dinner plate screen will be a challenge to operate in the move. It's a shame the physical climate controls are gone.
    That augmented reality sat nav is very clever! Though it might be better on the heads up display like the ID3.

    Love the interior, but I'll love MINI to do a proper SUV, like Toureg sized. Because of the premium pricing, you'll never get the space regardless of which segment car you get, Hatch, Clubman etc. Just call it a MINI MAXI and let people have the driver experience, cabinet etc, but feeling that in a full sized car

  • @markmellor6005
    @markmellor6005 3 часа назад

    At least it's petrol and not a SUV. but the back end has gone wrong - no relationship to the original Mini design. I don't know how well that touchscreen would work on the move but the simpler dash is more true to the original, minus a parcel shelf on either side.

    Very bland and sparse interior plus it looks cheap. Many cars being promoted on car channels are electric when the public don’t want them and are definitely not buying them.

    Mini is going to need to sell lots of their ICE cars to survive as the Chinese built the EV range is crazily overpriced and will struggle to sell. Shame that it still has very old tech chassis and engines without even mild hybrid, definitely mutton dressed as lamb.

    • @georgewalker7061
      @georgewalker7061 7 часов назад

      Actually MINI / BMW need to sell lots of EV,s built in China. 22% of them or be fined £15,000 on every car they sell.

    Not a fan of the interior, very bland and lights at the rear look awful.

    Beautiful, cute and looks like fun! The Mini ain't bad either! 😂 Seriously, it was a great review as always.

  • @stanleyleopard6799

    The car as specced in the review is just south of £37,000. And no paddle shifters.
    Even the 1.5 version of the previous DCT auto model had a manual option by pushing the gear lever to the left.
    For me, best value is the 1.5 Classic with Level 1 option pack at £26-£27k. Still nippy with 0-62 in 8 seconds.

    It’s awful! Cheap Chinese plastics and interior MINI sold its soul and this is what they now are barely see any new minis on the road MINI deserves to fail! For turning its back on

    • @georgewalker7061
      @georgewalker7061 7 часов назад

      Actually you might not see many on the road because they held back delivery because of a BMW / MINI Brake Recall. Plenty demo models around and owners getting the new cars. Petrols are built in Oxford, only the New EV,s in China.

      Just not as classy as the previous model.

    • @ianskeet7617

      To me, it's more Mini than the previous version. The tail lights were to big on the previous one. Interior has pluses and minusess compared to the old model.
