New 2024 MINI Aceman Review | Fun-Sized Fun Drive?

[@MaryClareByrne]

I’ve got one on order that’s on the slow boat from China! I ordered it in July and am hoping to get it around the middle of December.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Would be more fun if it was on the night boat to Cairo *Ska music intensifies*

[@brianiswrong]

The rear usb's look like they are on a island in the middle.of a paddling pool😮

[@BuckleUpShow]

Yes, it's an odd choice in some ways, but from a cost standpoint makes a lot of sense as will be cheaper to manufacture like that

[@TommyCronholm]

Have to wait three months for mine.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Are you excited? What spec did you go for?

Finally! I’m looking for this to be my next car (to replace my F56). Or possibly a Renault 5. Either way, Jasper with flat hair & no glasses still scores an 8/10 for me. Send my regards & envy to your girlfriend 😉.

[@BuckleUpShow]

If you want to keep the fun driving of the F56, we'd recommend sticking with the smaller Hatch as it is definitely a better drive than this. Can't comment on the Renault 5 as we've not been able to drive one yet, but it's looks excellent!

[@MrTrull1]

@ Can you tell me if it has a softer ride than the 3-door hatch?

[@Ted010]

Assembled in China!

[@BuckleUpShow]

Yes. Your point being? (Also in 2026 assembly at the plant in Oxford, UK will start)

[@Ted010]

@BuckleUpShow Just a statement of fact.

[@BuckleUpShow]

So there’s no issue then?

[@Ted010]

​@BuckleUpShow Think what you like. I have no interest in your comments.

[@BuckleUpShow]

We’re just trying to establish if you think it’s a good or bad thing? Because you haven’t said, we’ll just have to assume you think it’s a good thing.
