NEW 2021 MINI Cooper JCW Drive: London To Monaco 🇲🇨 *Road Trip*

I take the new 2021 MINI Cooper JCW from London To Monaco!!!
This is the New 2021 refreshed Mini Cooper JCW! The Mini JCW is a car that has evolved over the years and this is the latest instalment from John Cooper Works. The 2021 Mini JCW reviewed in this video packs a punch. 230bhp and 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. The sound of this thing is great. this does not have the pro exhaust but believe me the exhaust sound and the cars acceleration are impressive! I hope you enjoy this drive review and living with experience of the new 2021 Mini JCW (John cooper works) taking it all the way to Monaco!

These Mini Coopers are just totally addictive and lovable cars. They are expensive to maintain here in India but I just love my old 2012 R56 Cooper S so much that I dont feel like letting go of it at all.

[@zachbackar5389]

I lived there for 6 and a half years. I was lucky it was pure Magic.

Really want to take my mini to Italy and Switzerland! This just makes me want to do it even more 😍

You have to. They are brilliant road trip cars!

[@cephasmakuzva]

Awesome video. Monaco is beautiful and definitely a place worth visiting.

Damn Stef it really blows my mind you still have so few subscribers. The quality of the videos is top notch! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@StefABtv]

Thank you buddy! Appreciate the support 🙌

[@bobmizen1]

Thanks again Stef for sharing your experiences with the Mini. Your videos are now so amazing, well worth the effort you put into them. I hope you both continue to have a great, and safe, journey. Regards, Bob M. South Wales

Thanks buddy!

[@jmb1864]

I agree with you about Monaco being beautiful!

[@leeandjancruise]

Been to those places pre pandemic and loved every minute, surprisingly we did actually find some places to eat and drink at quite reasonable prices and I have a 2019 JCW silver/white with a red topping but left that at home, love it but would like more horses. Great vids Stef always enjoy them.

[@StefABtv]

Thank you!!

What an awesome video fella! What gorgeous places you managed to visit fella! Good times, good places and a cracking car too!

Cheers buddy! It was a mega trip!

[@paulcoles3265]

I LOVE a road trip and especially one filmed by you Stef. Picture perfect check. Cinematic check. Passion check (you won’t catch Mr JWW moved to tears on his videos). I love Monaco and although I haven’t been there for 10 years this transported me straight back there. Thanks. Awesome work mate!

Road trip vids are the best Stef! My mate has an apartment about 20 mins walk from St Jean Cap Ferrat and we go down (usually) every September. Absolutely love that coast, from Menton, Monaco, Villefranche, Nice, Cannes, Antibes down to Juan Les Pins. Usually take in an AS Monaco match too 😉 The perched villages up in the hills are fantastic too - love it! 😎🇫🇷

@@StefABtv My pleasure😎

[@ReTrospectiveVids]

I've done just under 2000km so far in mine and still loving it! The only real negatives (if I'm nitpicking) is the gearbox in Sport mode is not great - the shifts take way too long if you're NOT driving it flat out so i generally keep it in the standard Drive mode but with the sports suspension/steering setting on The only other small thing is perhaps that the buttons on the main center screen feel a little flimsy when changing songs and the touchscreen menu buttons on the far left are very small so with big hands/fingers its sometimes a pain to hit the right choice :P

[@StefABtv]

Yeah it’s a great car for sure! I really enjoyed driving it!

For the CarPlay issue, use the wireless CarPlay, you don’t have to plug it in then so free to take pics etc. You can still plug it in once it connects within 5 seconds after start up though to keep charged.

I have a 2023 JCW Mini convertible in British Racing Green & Chesterfield Malt (tan) interior. Wonderful car to own and drive.

[@StefABtv]

Haha yeah lucky it safely at home lol

[@whatsupwithsteve]

I'm thinking of fitting the 17's instead of the rubber-band 18" wheels. I think the trade off of ride quality (and looks imo) over a slight handling improvement is worth it. Thoughts??

[@thereallotharmatthae]

Went for the 17” straight away because of ride quality. Bumpy enough as is.

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Wow you're allowed to go to Monaco. We Aussies aren't allowed out of the house! (and we don't even really have any C19 🙄) Enjoying freedom in a JCW is so cool. Must admit to being just a tad jealous. OK.. very jealous!

Currently planning a road trip for 2022 which will be in a new car. The JCW has now made it into that shortlist of cars, and Monaco is still on the “to do” list

[@kriskolarleban9848]

Just recently done a roadtrip to Monaco in my 2010 Cooper S with stage 1 tune. Definitely not the most comfortable car for long highway distances, but it makes up on the smaller twisty roads around Monaco. I think that the newer models are more comfortable on long trips, especially with the upgraded seats. Anyways highly recommend the Mini for such a trip.

[@MrToonfish]

Time to meet GMK maybe... But be careful the guy is tall and got big muscles, be smart with him ! Just kidding, anyway, the rock is a nice place to be with a sports car. Regards.

The Apple CarPlay issue isn’t just a mini problem…. Every car I’ve used in the past 4 yrs with Apple CarPlay on the oem or after market infotainment system had thrown a wobbly at some point ( this includesTesla, VW, hyundai, Toyota, Volvo, Ford, Kenwood, JVC)…. And it’s happening to every iPhone variant I’ve owned in the past 4 yrs

[@StefABtv]

Good to know, I’ve not seen this issue before in any other cars I’ve driven though. Interesting to hear this 🙌

[@stevecade857]

Humans can make some beautiful things but I still prefer a more natural environment as it intended. How was your journey down through France? Did you do it in one day? How easy was it in the Mini and what mpg did you get on the long run? Were your wife's arms long enough for the peage? My wife and I had to travel down to Cannes to clear out an apartment early this year and went down in her 2020 JCW Clubman in one hit because of travel restrictions. It was pretty easy. The French roads are generally much smoother and emptier than the UK. The sports suspension and low profile tyres wouldn't be so much of an issue over there. We chose 18" wheels and adaptive suspension on the Clubman for our awful UK roads and couldn't be happier with the comfort and lack of tramlining.

[@StefABtv]

Haha yeah there were long enough for the tolls 😂😂😂

[@cyberpunkonline]

great video, what are the requirements /additional insurance of driving a UK registered car into the EU after Brexit and Monaco (since Monaco is not in the EU as well) ? thx

[@StefABtv]

Need to ensure your insurance allow you to drive. Some may want you to being a car green card which the insurance can give you. But not a requirement anymore. GB sticker on the back and that’s it

[@cyberpunkonline]

@@StefABtv thx, any day limit annually?

@@StefABtv My wife and I done a trip down in her 2020 JCW Clubman and we'd be interested in your experience of its smaller brother. We took it easy on cruise control obeying speed limits and got 43 mpg on the way down even with enjoying the GP starts from all the peage.
