MINI Cooper S Review | How to win over a modern MINI skeptic

[@carlcabusas5817]

Don’t judge the cabin until you own a new one. Currently loving our new Mini S. Give it time, it will grow on you. Trust those who have owned one. Not those who can’t afford and keep hating on it. 😅

USA, I have the last year on the manual Cooper S. The more reviews I see on the newer model, it is winning me over. Still keeping mine. Same green, with the black trim.

Great review! Shouting? That's just passion! Proper petrol head! 👍👍

[@vp272]

This is a beautiful ICE car. Don’t be ashamed ❤

What’s with the shouting?

[@donnafrend1938]

Takes less than a minute to turn the centre console box round so it’s easy to access.

Cooper S is 6k grand more expensive and .5 seconds slower than it should be & to the compeition. Ur paying for the brand name. I'm curious the JCW

@racheldevlin3008 0 seconds ago So... I'm sure I could figure this out from the stats but how do you think this little piece of joy would handle a surfboard up top while that cute roundy piece of joy plays tunes? I'm all over creative positioning for wind drag but I also want to survive on the M5 with me, my surf board and my two kids...

This bloke doesn't sound like he's ever actually driven or even been inside a 'BMW' mini before

[@ronturner9850]

Bailed at 1 minute…. His grating presentation was just antisocial… wake up Parkers

[@andyo2088]

Stop bloody shouting!

[@Lensman3333]

A pile of overpriced crap!

[@Brunovergauwen1]

I always loved mini...but I hate this design with a passion. So boooooring, it's like driving an iphone.

Cabin is a big step DOWN, previous mini felt like a old BMW, and the central dash to concentrated ❗️👎🏻

[@alioscopy-glasses-free-3D]

Nonsense… and did you mean 'too concentrated' - if so, that still isn't correct. I drove 130,000 miles in two (previous model) F56 Coopers… and my new F66 Cooper is a quantum-leap better in every respect. The cabin is greatly improved and, as stated in this video, beautifully-built. By chance, I was at the Oxford factory (enjoying the visitor tour) on the day that my car came off the production line, and I would not buy any other small car. (NB: This tester definitely didn't have the seat adjusted correctly - if the headrest was troubling him). Regarding technology - the combination of the MIU (round OLED display) and high-resolution HUD is outstanding… and, like me, many people at my BMW/MINI dealership feel that OS9 looks & works better on a MINI, than it does on the current stretched/curved BMW touchscreens. In addition, the Harman Kardon audio system has been greatly improved in the new models. I strongly recommend every potential buyer to go and test drive a new MINI Cooper (3 or 5 door) as it's absolutely the best version yet!

@@alioscopy-glasses-free-3D Agree.. it felt more open inside and clean. It drives with more compliance now
