Here's Why You Should Buy a MINI Cooper

[@donnashorts1]

2 months ago my 2006 mini S was totaled and I watched your videos before I decided what to get- I chose a British green 4 door S - I am in love with it- it’s so much better made than my old one- I’ll never drive any other kind of car- thank you for your enthusiasm ❤️

[@debbiepeter112]

Same here. My 2002 Mini was written off and I bought a cheap runaround until I could find a replacement Mini. Am now the proud owner of a 2001 Mini Cooper that I love. And no, I didn't consider 2nd or 3rd generation Mini as I really dont like them (hate 2nd Gens actually) so my replacement had to be a 1st Gen which are hard to find in good condition in tbe UK.

Life is too short to drive a boring Car---love it bro!! I am now trading my Tesla Model 3 for a 2021 Orange Mini S 3 door, manual. In my neighborhood there are about 6 Tesla Model 3 cars, all are white with black interior.....this is the epitome of boring :)! Can't wait to bring home my new Mini!

[@DarkstarDarth]

So how's the mini doing?

[@richrnndz2]

When I went into my Mini Dealer to buy my 2016 Mini Cooper S in Melting Silver, the the young lady in the financial department had a picture of her Clubman. She was T-Boned by a reckless teenager, she walked away with no injuries and that picture serves as a reminder of the safety and reliability of Mini Cooper. To me it served as proof that even the Mini Team drives Mini vehicles. It gives me piece of mind, because you can go to a Honda Dealer, or Toyota, but often times you will notice the people working there don't buy the vehicles for their own households.

[@Anonymous-hm1ue]

I've been considering a mini cooper for a while now, I love how they're uniquely designed, I love things that have character and I wanted to do research on the cars before I actually buy one, this has convinced me I should start saving up for a 3rd generation mini cooper.

[@stephanledford9792]

I bought a 2018 Cooper (F57) convertible once the Consumer Reports magazine started showing all green (good) on reliability, etc. They are an absolute blast to drive. I have made purchases in the past where I felt let down - the idea of the product was better than the reality, but the opposite has been true for my Mini - it was better than I had imagined. I bought the Cooper (3 cylinders VS 4 cylinders for the "S") because it had plenty of zip and better mileage than the four cylinder vehicles. I will probably own a Mini from now on.

[@daysicerano]

Omg I absolutely love your videos! I am looking to purchase my very 1st MINI in a couple months, and I could not be more excited!!

[@maniphonep]

Thank you for the informative video. I am a Mini lover and I have a 2022, but I cannot help but not think about all of the issues Mini had when they first came out in the early 2000's. Reliability hasn't always been there until recently and I think people are getting confused with people not maintaining their car versus real mechanical faulty issues. Just all in my opinion.

[@maniphonep]

I'll add to this; you should buy a Mini if you can afford one. I am sure many people love it, but don't have the resources...I will agree, they are great little cars.

[@ocramidajzj]

I think you hit the nail on the head. Many people don't realize that maintenance is required and, unless you are a DIYer owning a Mini can get expensive. I also think Mini/BMW get criticism on reliability/longevity with things like extended oil change intervals and "lifetime" tranny fluid. I own a F57 and F54, both sticks and both 2016 models and they have been great cars for the last 3 years. I change oil and filter at 6 months or 5K and changed out the tranny and brake fluid every 20K. They both have tons of personality and are a blast to drive. My Clubman is also practical enough for anything I thrown at it. My only regret is that I did not get into Mini sooner. Can't think of a car that packs so much value and personality in one package. But you can't treat them like an appliance from Toyota. These wonderful cars need to be treated with care and they will pay you back with smiles on every drive. Very underrated products. My only question, where did you find Mini was number 3 in reliability?

[@jordannantais9975]

Just purchased a F56 for my first mini, can't wait to get it next week

[@robbrewsbeer]

You sir, are 100% correct on MINI. I had not considered a MINI, and was very skeptical, but my wife has wanted one for many years. When it was time to replace my car I was looking at all options but MINI, I even put a deposit on a new Canyon AT4X that's coming in 2023...spring...maybe. I stopped by the MINI dealer by on a whim and ended up purchasing a Countryman S that night for my wife with the intent I'd take her car until my truck arrived. I now do not want to give it back. Three months later and I've cancelled my truck and ordered a custom Clubman JCW that is slated to arrive January or February. I was able to test drive a used 2022, and WOAH! She is a beautiful beast in regular drive mode, and really makes the heart pump from her roar when in sport and sport+ modes. I can't wait to get mine and really open her up on some curves and a track. Green mode in the Countryman S we hit 40+ MPG and daily mixed driving runs around 22 MPG (19 MPG when I drive it). We are now a MINI family, and I'm so happy I stopped to check them out. I'll still be looking for a truck, but I'll be happy with an old beater for backcountry and off-road fun that I won't care if it gets further beat up.

[@blackmon165]

Very true, Mini is a really safe car! I fell a sleep on the wheel and hit the center divider of freeway going at a speed of 85 MPH I thought that my mini cooper countryman was going to have lots of damages and it turned out that only my left wheel got reall scratch up. Thank God

I'd have no problem getting another Mazda, but MINI has my attention for the moment. Thanks.

[@cthululuu]

I absolutely love minis. My dream cars. I personally would be content with a mini than any super car, cause that’s not really my thing. My last mini before my current one was a brand new 2020 4 door Cooper S. Had it for a short while and after it’s first oil change there was a drivetrain malfunction and I had to get it towed back to the mini dealership. They gave me a rental for free and I waited weeks to get my car back. They never found out what was wrong with it, I just traded it back in for a different mini cause I was tired of not having my car. I have an engineering friend who went to work an internship at that mini dealer and he told me they still have that car there, they have no idea what’s wrong with it. Really weird. I did love that car but it got traded for the new GP. Would’ve kept waiting for them to fix my car had I not seen the GP at the dealership

[@henryespinosa9283]

I agree with Miniac that the MINI Cooper is a great little car. However, from what source did he get the information that the “MINI Cooper is the car with the third highest reliability rating after Toyota and Honda?” It’s true that the MINI has improved its reliability substantially compared to the first and second generations but the last time I checked with Consumer Report the MINI Cooper is average in terms of reliability compared with other vehicle brands sold in the United States. The MINI Cooper is in my short list of cars that I’m considering to buy. Some drawbacks of the MINI Cooper 2-door and 4-door hardtops (the only types I would consider buying) is the lack of rear passenger room and small trunk space compared to other cars in its class.

[@haythamibrahim6064]

Hmmm, if you're looking for rear passenger room then why don't you look at the Clubman or even the Countryman?

[@maniphonep]

@@haythamibrahim6064 Hi, back to affordably here. Jumping into either one of these is just a whole new price bracket (Yes, I am a Mini lover and I drive one), but pricing widely ranges as we all know when it comes to models and options on the Mini.

I can fit a full size stroller in the back of the Clubman without having to fold the seats

For $26k-$35k there are better options. BUT under $10k the mini is definitely one of the best budget car options

[@Neptune8]

@@TheMINIac there’s too many options to label one car as ‘the best’ under a price bracket . Even though I’m a mini fanboy myself I respect that there are other cars that are a combination of being faster, more reliable, better fuel economy, more space or on par with its fun. You aren’t lying about the community though. The best car community I’ve ever been apart of is the mini community, second to that is the VW community but even now I’m saving up for another mini cause I miss the car and miss being apart of a welcoming and non toxic group of people

@@TheMINIac I will agree all cars have issues, but at different points in time. We all know Mini had lots of issues like you said earlier on in gen. 1 and 2. I hate to hear that it all depends on who you work with to make things right on the dealership, sale, etc, but it is what it is. Yes, cars are expensive in general, but a Mini doesn't fit everyones lifestyle if you just look at dollars, example a truck cost just as much as the tiny thing we love so much.

I thought this was James Corden at first lol.

lol that was not a Scotty jab at all. So one of the points he made was the engine bay and how tight it is. Do you find this being a problem in mechanic bills?

Has the reliability of Mini's gotten better from the R56 S to the F56 S?

@@TheMINIac Awesome :) I'm thinking about getting another Mini

So based on past engineering failures that resulted in serious reliability issues in Gen 1&2 somehow you derive that Gen3 avoids all of that. Your reasoning lacks substance. And for the record, the old Toyota Supras were sports car versions of the Celica. They were extraordinarily successful because of their performance, and their rock solid reliability engineering. Your diatribe is reminiscent of a car salesman, "pay no attn to that broken vehicle, on fire, on the side of the road! Look over here, it's shiny and new" LOL, all cars have some sort of issue, but if you want a long term solution, continuous improvement reliability engineering has to be baked in. That's what Toyota is famous for, and thats how it's done.i live my R53 Mini, but I have been through engine, suspension, transmission, cooling and electrical. I have done a number of repairs. The result of that is a hands on knowledge that it was not designed to be easily repaired and there were a lot of cut corners where it would have been easy to make very obvious reliability gains. Dont be a salesman that lies, be one that up front let's the customer know the short and long term cost of owning the car.....

@@TheMINIac To be fair, the 2017 are only 3 years old so they shouldn't be having any serious issues at that age.

So I’m 6ft 5 and have always wanted a Mini Cooper. Does anyone that’s around my height have a mini?

I have seen some big and tall men driving Coopers so being how flexible you are..?

Details, I want details. Everything Miniac has stated is based on his opinion. I want objective and not subjective information. Every Mini owner I know has had to have his car towed because of a breakdown on the side of the road. It's a beautiful car that handles fantastically. But.......
