Mini Cooper S Convertible - the best car that Mini ever made?

[@robbyprior5437]

Hiya Bob. The Cooper S is a 2.0L I4 turbo not a 1.5.☺️

[@TheRealBandit69]

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

[@antwonefernandez7554]

Ha. Made me chuckle that. Have to ask though what on Earth is a Tiida???

they are hideous

[@stevencampbell1150]

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.

[@GoodFoodShared]

Really enjoyed that, thank you. Pricey but fun 😁

[@1petulko]

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...

[@agaafear]

A Cooper S is a 2.0 180bhp, not 1.5. Laughed at the Tiida reaction - exactly what I’d have said.

[@paulbrown9802]

What an awesome review! Very honest, and as a Mini fanboy I would buy one anyway!

[@CarsofGlasgow]

great video Bob! I like that blue colour!

[@robbiek7986]

Really enjoyed the video!

[@Smithy350]

Nice video bob. Super excited for whenever the bmw video comes out

[@peterallen2593]

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.🧑🏽‍🎨

[@jimsshed2587]

Good review I'm a mini fan. I'd die for a GP EPIC.

[@We_Are_Borg_478]

Confirmation bias lead me here. Wanted to hear how awesome my new car is.

[@alundavies5171]

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!

[@garethtalbot8950]

Doubt the roof would cope with tree sap and bird crap very well. 🤔. Nice review Bob.

[@stuartmchugh1754]

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!) 👍

[@paulkinz1]

Nice kicks Bob. Where did you get those bad boys 😁

[@BobFlavinVideo]

They are Adidas Terrex trail runners, very comfy off-road as Continental make the sole but they are cold to wear in winter

[@seanmurray3633]

Lovely car Would love to have one Bit expensive though

[@joshstreet3919]

I’m surprised you can get them with halogen lights in Ireland. LED’s as standard here in the UK

[@paulgaskell8696]

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.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

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.

[@IrishFoxHound]

Shaking fist at vrt

[@paulgaskell8696]

@@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.

[@paulgaskell8696]

MINI.ie says 192 engine is a 2.0 four as well.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Docs I got said 1.5 which confused me but I went with the expert press release. Maybe it’s wrong

[@KoolDesign]

How many times do you drive with 3 to 4 people in this car when you dont have a fam?

[@HW007]

The Cooper S is a 2 liter. This model is a special edition called sidewalk. which is why this is expensive.

[@davidpiper3652]

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.

[@glendyson5574]

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

[@Bangastarch]

What year is this ?

[@etsonos]

So most of the video is spent showing how amazed you are by convertibles.

[@oceanfroggie]

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

[@philipscott1128]

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.

[@typhoontim125]

The ORIGINAL mini was the best they ever made. All very much downhill from there
