[@nikouras3215]

it's natural to say this car is ''slow'' when you drive supercars every day :) :)

[@oliviaschenck]

I know all mini owners were yelling “it’s the other side” while he look for the hood release 😂😂

[@thedriver99]

And also because we use it a lot

[@simonlloyd7557]

They are 'fast, slow cars'. Ive had loads of cars (over 40), some with very big power, and also 20+ of Ducati superbikes. The R53 isn't really about wild acceleration, it's about handling and sustained corner speed. The cars can be modded to make about 240-250hp at the wheels...17% pulley, colder plugs, bigger I/C, cam and 550cc injectors, decent manifold..some go for a +2% crank pulley too. On a healthy engine that'll give you a 'quick' car that will punch well above it's weight and on a country lane, will be as fast as cars with more than double the power.

[@antohooper6996]

Mate is a 2% pulley better then the 17%?

It's not "fast" but it's fun as hell without losing your license. I'd argue it's more fun to drive everyday than a heavy 800 hp AMG coupe that you have to restrain yourself 95% of the time not to lose your license.

I sold this Mini model at the BMW dealer when it came out in Holland. I was at the introduction in a old factory in Maarssen. It was a total hit. Man that cooper S with the jcw kit was awesome to drive! I Almost bought one 2 years ago but got a good deal on a 130i instead. Anyway nice video!

I am a R53 owner and have driven both R56 and F56. But I still love the rawness of the R53, eventhough the new ones are sure faster.

[@wassilia1234]

faster but less fun, exactly what mx-5 is compared to other heavier cars

[@b.henriques9871]

Had a r53 from 2005, great car to drive, the exausht pops were unreal, only drawback was the fuel economy, which there wasn't! 15 L /100km.

What a blast right! Go kart but not a racer on the autobahn 😋

[@ukwan]

Wonder what would happen if you put it on a Dyno to see if it's still producing full power. I suspect it probably is 200hp in a super charged engine sure doesn't feel as quick as 200hp in a Turbo engine.

[@remcog.8833]

AutoTopNL..THETS VERRIE GOED TE HOREN🤣🤣

[@sajidalituri7775]

You are also great max

[@sajidalituri7775]

Thank for like my comments

[@MrNial15]

It’s a 220 bhp car after the upgrades and you took it on the autobahn like an idiot and kept saying it’s not fast. Obviously it’s a 200bhp which you need to revel to at least 7000 rpm to fully enjoy it and open her up. Tbh after watching that I think you don’t really know a lot about cars. You just take high performance motors on the autobahn and that’s about it

[@equaliser2265]

You are correct, what a knobber, like Schmee .

[@dutchminir5318]

True that, after a few months and a new cam it proved te have 213bhp. It’s top horsepower is right at the redline and it likes to rev up to it to!

[@ilpatongi]

Yeah right? A professionally trained driver that doesn't know what he's talking about. We really should listen to youtube-comment strangers more...

[@freddieparrydrums]

Agreed

[@magicstuff4181]

True, i have a R53 Cooper S and i am a race driver, Profesional in karting and racing in cars like a Bmw 325I with Turbokit up to 350hp with 500nm torque, i already heard rumors that the cooper S and JCW were fast but when i drove in it it really goed fast, the cornering is better that 80% of the other track cars and almost redlining the engine really gets all the power out wich is really enough to get that light mini going my point is that is just so much fun and it’s really fast tho

[@neilyoung5029]

From the looks of it, all the horses are still there….. I never lost power in my Cooper S r53 and it had done 120k miles…..probably used to the turbo kick of other fast cars rather than the linear power

[@TYZ.AUTOMOTIVE]

I hope to own a mini one day

[@skillaxxx]

You should, the R53 is so much fun to drive, no comparison with the newer ones, those are no longer go-karts. They will need serious continuous maintenance though, a price I'm willing to pay for a smile on my face every time I floor it.

[@TuFfLiK]

Could u tell me please , I have the same version of jcw 2005 model , and I wanted to make it more louder. Absolutely the same exhaust but it seems yours is modified. What do I need to do? Shall I just cut all catalyst and make it straight pipe or what? Please waiting for your reply. Thanks a lot!

[@rootsmanuva82]

It may not be as fast as modern GTI, especially a tuned one, but it's more than quick enough and infinitely more fun to drive than a GTI. I've owned both, and while the GTI is much faster, it isn't nearly as engaging to drive. The comfort and refinement of the GTI is a godsend for everyday commutes as a MINI will grate on your nerves over every pothole or stoplight. The GTI is great at "turning off" and just cruising on a commute, whereas a MINI is "always on" just begging you to do something stupid. It's a love hate relationship but the MINI unquestionably more fun.

I like about modern Minis that they don't make those cheap noises. I mean, this car sounds like a plastic bag. Some knocks here, some hisses there, it sounds really bad. I'd fear that the car just breaks and those old Minis are indeed of very low quality. Compared to the big cars we have nowadays, the modern Minis still feel very handy and direct. But they're grown up now, you can definitely use them for longer distances, the built quality is on BMW level, everything is just a bit better for everyday use. No doubt, those old Minis were pure and fun, more direct and all. But I'd choose a modern Mini over them everytime.
