[@plightn]

One word, plastic. Even the chain guide inside the engine is plastic.

[@chrisepps6902]

Thats true on many engines...like my ka24 which is bulletproof.

[@lvsqcsl]

I have steel chain tensioners in my car. Then a few years later they changed to nylon.

[@tycobandit]

Modern chain guides are made of or use a Nylon 6,6 surface. They use it to minimize chain wear because steel is porous an would require more lubrication which would increase engine design complexity, manufacturing costs, and service intervals.It’s actually an incredibly rugged polymer with a really high density and melting point (about 500F). It can also be finished with a flawless slippery surface rather cheaply, which is another benefit you can’t get with steel guides.

[@plightn]

Tyco Bandit that’s got a lot of benefits I’ll admit but I don’t think it stands up well to all the detergents in the oils over time. But my main gripe is that and a lot of other parts aren’t designed to be serviced easily.

[@RickTrajan]

@@plightn timing chains are "supposed to" last as long as the vehicle - or maybe the engine. I know some vehicles have time intervals for timing chains for some reason, and some vehicles have problems with timing chains. I know seals go leak - but just like any vehicle, if the engine is fitted in there tight then it's just generally a pain to work on.

[@AK47Stalin]

Scotty made a mistake, the kurb weight is actually 2800 pounds. The GROSS weight may be 3600 pounds. There's no way a car that small can have a kurb weight of 3600 pounds. Mind you, 2800 pounds is still on the chunky side for such a small car, should be 2200-2400 pounds.

He's saying it's a bad car to buy new. Not that the car itself is bad mechanically. The car lost over 40% of its value in a couple of years and 40k miles. His point was that you should either buy these lightly used for a good price or for dirt cheap as a fun throwaway car. Don't buy a $10,000 with 80k miles because you're basically getting the worst of both worlds.

Scotty's right on those old Minis. I was in England in '71 and they were all over the place. I got to ride in a few. They cornered great but they had a very crude feel to them. And they rattled a lot. And the interiors were Lada-class noisy. I remember the rims being tiny. The engines weren't that great in terms of longevity, but you could almost rebuild them in your own garage, that's how simple they were. Many times it was just the valves and/or valve seals -- easy peasy.

Hey Scotty...thanks for 'endorsing' the purchase of my then new 2004 John Cooper Works MINI Cooper S which has a supercharger, not a turbo and IS my fun car and has only 90,000 miles. You are so right about the struts...my rear right started dripping a little oil 2 weeks ago, but my local BMW dealer is so slack that after 3 days they still haven't got back to me regards replacement cost. However as my MINI is approaching 16 years old, I'm seriously thinking of your lease suggestion when it's time to update to a new MINI. I look forward to your videos as they are really informative and make so much sense...you tell it like it is. Mike in Australia.

Haven't had a single issue with my 2016 Mini Cooper 3 door. Get good quality oil and do regular maintenance. I disagree with his view that they lack power or speed, does 0 - 60 in 6.7 seconds which is properly quick. Take a car he loves like the Corolla, the 2021 XSE Apex fancy one is what I consider very slow at 8.8 seconds. A Corolla from 2016 is 9.8 seconds. Pretty terrible. A 2020 John Cooper Works goes 0 - 60 in 5 seconds flat, which is properly quick by any standard for a car.

[@rivmchl]

Resale value also has to do with the mark up on the vehicle. I once saw a Mercedes sales training video from the early 90's. They blatantly stated that your job as a salesperson is to convince the buyer that it is worth the sticker price. 😳

[@peachyclean93]

For several years Dodge made engines for them 1999 to 2007 the same engine that's in a Dodge Neon the 2.0 L My 2004 Dodge Neon SXT 2.0 L still going strong at a 198,500 original engine and transmission. But for the maintenance part that can be said for any dealership nowadays. They're all there to rip you off. The moment you pulled a vehicle in that bay. They see dollar signs.! That's why I maintain and do all the work on my vehicles myself.

Scotty, I just did something I've never done. I plugged the sidewall of my tire after pulling a long sheet metal screw out of it. I have road hazard insurance on all 4 tires , but of course no reputable tire shop will repair a sidewall because it's not recommended. They wanted to sell me a prorated tire, which with mounting & balancing, costs just as much as a brand new one. Just curious if you have ever plugged a sidewall. I've been riding on it for 3 weeks so far. No issues. Thoughts on this? Always respect your opinions. Great videos!

[@tullochgorum6323]

The '60s mini was a death-trap. The fuel tank was badly placed and a rear-end shunt could spray the rear passengers with fuel, which could ignite. I had a relative die and another maimed for life in horrifying circumstances. Don't get one, even if you think it's cute.

[@jimdavis8391]

All small cars from the 60s were 'death traps' compared with modern cars. The mini was no worse than a Renault 4 or a Fiat 500.

[@jogmas12]

$35000 for a mini? Just think how many 94’ Celicas I can buy with that!! ( sure to get a like from Scotty, it would be my first)

[@Tiagotaf]

Man, I'd love an old Mini, like the one Mr Bean drove. But I'd never buy one of the new models. I'd very much prefer tune up an old one than have my insides sold to pay for repairs in these newer ones.

[@657449]

I added a question about Mr Bean's car and the Mini. Where they well built then?

[@djkenny1202]

They are a pain, too. Just to get to the rear tail lamp bulb requires removing the rear shock.

[@Witheredgoogie]

@@657449 The early ones in the 60s were probably no different from any other car standards of the 60s. In the 1970s England had endless problems with car worker unions and these are generally thought of as the worst built models. Mr Bean's one I think was from the 1980s which was a lot better built. However they were so simple to maintain that a teenage girl with manicured nails could probably have the engine/trans out in an afternoon...you could get all the parts cheap including the shell. The automatic version also ran on the engine oil which meant it got fresh oil at every service. The designer (an eccentric) would not install a radio as "it distracts people from driving properly" LOL

[@vinzclortho7766]

Ive seen these older MINIs on CL for cheap with high miles and i had considered buying as a toy but decided not to. I was behind one at a stop light and watched the fuel door just pop right off onto the ground while it was just sitting there. I have seen that they did away with the fuel door in more current models.

[@Edward-pu1wt]

The tv show "Wheelers Dealers" did a show on a Mini Turbo model. They had to do a complete servicing including the turbo. Definitely worth watching if you are thinking about buying one.

[@Jlbernabe831]

I like how you always remind ppl that you're not making it up. Haha

[@merdadeusername]

thats a S model, the JCW is far different interior and exterior wise !

[@jayt6023]

I think that one just has the JCW tuning kit which you can buy from mini and it comes with the badges for the engine and exterior.

[@merdadeusername]

Jay Trabucco Maybe that but you miss the important bits like big brake kit, JCW chassi kit and responsive suspension ... also this one has no jcw aero kit, not even the rear spoiler.

Hi Scotty. Nice work on your channel. I have a 2018 Highlander AWD non hybrid with 4 fancy 19 inch wheels and doughnut spare. I'm thinking of replacing them with 5 working 18 inch wheels, possibly as winter use. Maybe all year round in lower Minnesota. I'm retired and might drive 5k miles a year if that. Your thoughts please.

[@That501stDude]

Matrix XRS and/or the Pontiac Vibe GT would be a fun drive. The 2007-2013 Mini Cooper S gave Minis a serious black eye as far as reliability. The new ones like the JCW featured in this video carry the B series engines (B36, B46/48). When Toyota and BMW jointly developed the GR Supra, Toyota inspected the B58 engine in order to determine whether or not the engine met their reliability standards. Surprise! The B58 met or exceeded all of Toyota's requirements without any modifications.
