yes lol i was like wtf u aint drivin damn

[@christophermee5214]

This chap was on the U.K. top gear program. He keeps smashing cars so they don’t let him drive anymore

[@the_one1001]

Damn, gonna disrespect my dude with the passenger lap? He’s a legend.

[@mustafajoseph134]

Agreed. That was Waack.

[@GeordsYouTube]

I have never described the front end of a mini as aggressive

[@AutoTraderTV]

What word would you use to describe this one?

[@pad3357]

I thought that 😂

[@GeordsYouTube]

AutoTrader pouty.. it’s a mini with a little more lipstick on its lip fillers

[@XUNAIN]

​@@AutoTraderTV Sporty, but not aggressive. The overall design of the car isn't intended to be "aggressive". It's a car marketed to the youth and the hipster types of the world. PS. I own and love my R56 JCW. Which is, I think, better looking, but technically inferior to the new car. Though that's enough to stop me liking or buying these new F56 cars.

[@Gustavo-oo1kh]

@@AutoTraderTV cute

[@ralfhedstrom]

There is nothing to hate about the speed, design, handling and even the comfort in a car like this, but the lack of analog sensation, raw power and the sound of the old school 60's -70's (and 80's) cars in the same range will forever be missed (at least by those race freaks among us who had the pleasure of experiencing them).

[@abayamangali]

One of the best hot hatches I have ever seen, and one of the best reviews I have ever seen. Good job Rory, keep up the good work

[@dha588]

Damn, I can never get tired of looking at this MINI.

[@jaydub5515]

I've just never been that big of a fan of 4 spoke rims, other than that, this thing looks mental

[@jord9261]

I've heard that rear "aluminium strut base" isn't even connected to the top of the rear suspension It does as little for the car as the fake spoiler which needs an extra rubber lip because its completely flat

[@gokberkkaradeli]

I quite like it wish they offered in manual like previous generations. I would take this over BMW M1.35i .

[@andisaninemavhola7925]

Same thing, jst a 135 in disguise

[@michaelscurr9046]

Yep i might do that as well

[@yardyyoungster]

No chance no back seat barely any space in that back...BMW all day...

[@TheShootist]

What's the Doug Score?

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

The best reviewer in the business

[@okambambo]

You growing on me Rory with your nice chilled authentic style of presentation , i was disappointed you did not drive the car.

[@chrishewson40]

Great video review Rory, i bet you were itching to drive though, i used to have the '53 Cooper s, which was crazy and had the iconic whining super charger and that open bonnet vent, i was invited to order a limited number of the 1st GP which had the super charger. This GP 3 should of been fitted with a super charger to give it that aggressive whining sound and instant power.

[@Alex-dn2wx]

If they could only make the R53 with just updated everything, instant buy.

[@RandomVideosFirst]

BTW those side parts aren't carbon fiber its a cheaper composition material that gives the impressive its Carbon fibre 1:30

[@gedam131]

it's carbon, just a mix of plastic. look it up

[@平和-v1z]

Exterior looks perfect 😍

It's nice to see cars go a little bonkers sometimes :)

Cracking stuff from Rory.

[@Shaggy-tm3ie]

Yes Rory!! Great to see you back

[@stevesyourman]

Needs the JCW exhaust!

[@mandst5466]

Nice presentation Rory 👍🏻

[@tsholohelojrkeagaelejwe7601]

Ugh man the indicator is louder than the exhaust

[@kb9072]

On other channels the rear cross brace has no strengthening benefits. It's just there to stop luggage moving into the front.

[@alexwebster3722]

It’s a shame BMW holds the mini back in danger of stepping on the toes of other cars in the BMW group

[@BlackJack-xo8wp]

How are u going to clean the side fender if the dirt or mud goes inside?

[@jayaynikkal]

with a hose pipe

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

blake f it’s not fenders

[@hakimnugraha9606]

would be lot of homework to clean that stupid fender gap.

[@claudioagmfilho]

I am from RECIFE in Brazil, South America, I love these minis but particularly the GP, now we have a clubman with the same power wish minis had 306 hp permanently

[@zioo3117]

The original Cooper S in the current iteration is my favorite. Gas mileage and interior room in a small package is what I like about Mini. The clubman is next and with economy down it still gives back with more interior room. Either an electric with range or a hybrid would interest me much more than a zero to 60 miachine that takes 5 seconds. The roads are littered with gas engine cars that do more than 5.0. AF

[@vijaymistry4169]

I miss your presence on top gear

[@pad3357]

For a proper drivers there is always the mini challenge 2017 road car that came with coils and stripped out from factory.

[@jonathanprice2419]

I owned #40 JCW Challenge and as you say it is a brilliant track car but way too hard a ride to use as a daily (plus the very basic spec). Have a deposit down for a GP3, don’t mind it being an Auto (this box is superb in manual mode) plus it has the spec to make a really good all rounder.

[@johnstonlee]

Anyone else going through these videos like a Netflix binge

[@colinmoore8553]

Is this car good for everyday driving and what's the mpg ?

[@the___truth8038]

I'm probably the only person in the world who'd pick this over ANY supercar, but I really don't care lol. 😁😍

[@ljgr6045]

Cool and all but why no manual i was gunna pre order one until i found out

[@wattybrownes]

Just buy a Cooper s for 10k tune it through a custom tune and bravo you have the same power for a 3rd of the cost

[@the___truth8038]

Lol 10k? Sure, if literally all you care about is speed. I doubt you'll find a 10k f56 cooper s, with less than 90k miles on the clock and no wear/tear.

[@wattybrownes]

@@the___truth8038 there are 100's for sale under 10k with less than 30k miles. I bought one in 2018 with 11k miles for 10.8k and that was fully loaded. Have a look

@Christian James TAN Exactly. Imagine taking this beast to stage 2/3 recapping! 🔥🔥💨💪

[@kaabooom508]

Great video mahn Maybe 60fps

[@enricoheib3240]

cool review keep it up

[@welcometothenextlevel]

I remember seeing the concept version of this at Goodwood FOS a few years ago and it looked impressive then. Obviously had to be tamed a little bit from that version but the production model does look ace. I'd buy it for the wings and arches alone!

[@r-lq249]

Insightful, serious and the right amount of info. Great work Rory. Subscribed!!

[@ShogunsDojo]

same money as a new m240i, a 3.0L 6 cylinder rear drive bmw coupe that has 60hp more... buying this would be insanity.

[@Ssh52]

I see your point But you are a little biased aren't you 😂

[@ShogunsDojo]

Irshaad Shaikh I practice what I preach 😂 But to be honest you could insert any car you like in my comment and it will either have more power or cost less

[@6lr6ak6]

Dead right, M240 ten times better.

[@anthonyoloughlin7594]

Power to weight is the real deal. I suggest you drive whatever you like. Most of my motorcycles were faster and more fun and more in the real world than all these high priced bubble transportation units. The original mini beat up on the big powerful V8’s of the day when first released - go figure.

[@ShogunsDojo]

Anthony O'Loughlin it is important for sure, but so is weight distribution and the M240 is near 50/50 whilst the gp is near 60/40 towards the front. The B58 is massively underrated and has more tuning potential anyway. The M240i May have the better power to weight ratio because the minis aren’t the light fleet footed cars they used to be, it’s more of a maxi. Either way I’d bet that the 2 series offers the superior driving experience.

[@christopherhardy8965]

Love it 👌

[@backupinit]

looks like the car homer simpson designed

[@1MrBryn]

Tesla: Hold my beer

[@fordyski100]

As the owner of a GP2 my 1st question is what Suspension is GP3 using ? The current GP2 model Bilstein adjustable suspension is terrible and suffers with serious knocking issues between 14-20 k miles . Have Mini sorted this ? Plus ....what is going on with these mad wheel arches ? And at the moment that rear spoiler really is not doing it for me . Think ill wait to see one in the flesh to reserve full judgement and probably keep my GP2 .

[@rare6499]

This has standard shocks and springs, it doesn’t have coilovers. They are tuned for the car obviously but there is no adjustment in them. The arches are there because of the wider track.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Those semi-detached fender flares ruin the entire car. There's a reason this hasn't been done before. Hideous.

[@dragospahontu]

AutoTrader has a good look with Reid.

[@witnesspropro]

Same engine as the 2019 BMW M135i but without the xDrive then?

[@jonnysl6560]

THIS MAN IS THE BEST CAR REVIEWER IN THE BUSINESS THE BEST

[@-1..]

Don't they have design patent issues?? porsche and mini headlights???

[@x8dudtrackdaytoy]

No manual instantly puts off the majority of people who would buy this model. R56 was by far the best mini

[@kierenboimufc5940]

I remember the Mini BBR GTi had 307hp in 2005 sure it was on top gear

[@jentevanhoucke9617]

Same thing under the bonnet than the mercedes A35 amg??

[@Jack_mc22]

Why is it called gp should it not be called gt or gt line

[@petercavellini3232]

You either like them or you don’t, before you say something, i have driven one, a few years ago admittedly and I found it leaden, heavy, as if the wheels where made of Lead, the dash was all retro like Mini, start button/ key ignition in an awkward position, not intuitive,and I’d go as far as say it’s a 2+2 , no way a long distance car if your in the back seats, and it ain’t cheap especially if you add options, which you will because some should be standard,and, there are far too many options to personalise it also.😘

[@christophermee5214]

You went all that way for a ride along

[@thechickenman2289]

Is a drag race on the card

[@bign3ck]

I hate this gen of mini, front end is too long, doesn't look like a mini wheelbase, the R53 is the best version imo, it looks a d drives like a mini.

[@williama-d6]

I like it

[@GraveUypo]

i would love it if it was given to me. i wouldn't buy it myself even if i was shopping for a hot hatch. that's about it.

[@AbuHurairahSiddique]

Damn, got some work to do if autotrader really want to compete with carwow videos.

[@ViceVersace]

What I appreciate most in reviews is the honesty. There is no reason to sugar coat the look of those fenders! And in general I feel that he's trying to sell me the car.

[@AbuHurairahSiddique]

@@ViceVersace amen, thats why carwow is much much better

[@PhilMGCollins]

@@AbuHurairahSiddique I would say that CarWow showed a clear bias towards certain manufacturers in past videos; the very reason I stopped watching their videos.

[@AbuHurairahSiddique]

PhilMGCollins and you’re trying to say that this autotrader video is biased at all? he is literally selling this car to us

[@PhilMGCollins]

@@AbuHurairahSiddique I am not and didn't say anything regarding this video by AutoTrader. In this video's case, "selling you" the car - the video in which that vehicle is the subject, isn't bias by default.

Basically a fwd M135i?

[@royalstevep68]

Eh, the m135i is fwd

[@Jediku_official]

Like it but needs to be all wheel drive this is not 2010, and 5 seconds just isn't going to cut it. Great job though Rory

[@NextKnown]

It looks nice but not so close to the concept..they just added some red plastic fittings and raised the price by 10k..

[@joshbennett1339]

Don't understand why the wheel fenders are carbon but then go to a cheap plastic. Especially at the rear, the rear diffuser which isn't a real diffuser is a cheap ABS plastic. Still like the car tho but think if your gonna go extreme you might as well go all out

[@muhammadnaseer6315]

Why everyone with Surname "Reid" is so goddamn good in their jobs ? Brilliant.

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

It has the same engine as the JCW!

[@adamwhite3705]
