Test Drive The 2006 Mini Cooper S 6-spd Start Up, Exhaust, and Full Tour

In this video I give a short tour and test drive of a 2006 Mini Cooper S. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the car idling as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway on various surfaces. A thorough drive of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Great job, Kyle. Was thinking about trading "down" to an older, less complicated MINI. This review pretty much confirms my decision. Much appreciated.

[@delunamendivil]

Gotta love the extreme-close-up shifting! Nice Vid.

[@LordV8boy]

The test drives are back! Thank you Kyle, you're the best ;)

[@AppleMan7100]

I actually think he knows how to drive really well. Shifting is totally a control thing, and he was dialed in on the throttle and clutch if you listen closely

[@marchingfluteplayer1]

thx for the test drive vid i have been wanting 1 for a while now they were the reason i subscribed!

[@ceooner]

A Test Drive oh how i miss these! another great video kyle thanks.

[@ilovecars1996]

i give thanks to kyle making great videos for everyone to enjoy :) happy thanksgiving kyle

[@darkais776]

man, this looks like a blast to drive! kinda want one now haha

[@Enix69]

love test drive videos!! more more!

[@HanzelFonferek]

Awesome video!

[@globulus1]

Excellent video. I love this car.

[@05Forenza]

I test drove a 2011 Clubman S, and -almost- bought it on the spot due to how much fun to drive it was. The sales lady was off the wall thrilled that I wanted to test drive the 6 speed manual lol. That particular one I drove, freakin hot lookin. ALL black, rims and everything.

[@MercedesF700]

Yes! I saw this awesome car on all city auto's website and hoped that you might review it but test drive it? Sweet! Thanks Kyle!

[@autonathan]

Love the sound of the Mini 1.6. Just sounds like a much more expensive car than the Mini actually is.

[@MHortonIII]

Nice Man! Great Videos!

[@PiranhaJaw22]

when you drive manual with your camera, i feel like you're pulling my head toward the shifter

[@SOMUCHTROUBLEINTHEWORLD]

😂😂

[@water892]

happy thanksgiving kyle! and great video!

[@dave11686]

Happy Thanksgiving Kyle! Love the Minis!

[@CreRay]

Gorgeous little car. I want one! For 7 whole minutes I was thinking, Kyle get in the car and drive it haha.

[@JedemPoKucama]

i love that sound!:))

[@JADEYWADEYMAKADEYPATADEY]

Love that sound.

[@irinelflorin6004]

I love this car!

[@SuperR1991]

U drive really smoothly

[@AuBaTV]

I drive a 2003 cooper its a very nice car, but next year i will buy this one, thanks for the video. :)

[@Mutu1026]

yay a test drive!!!! :) :)

[@soccer10083]

its worth it. I just got an S and its a blast

[@rudomundo]

Great video. Great car. I have one. At 3:36 to 3:40 you can hear a chattering sound, almost like a diesel engine sound. If that sound goes away when the clutch pedal is depressed, then the throw-out bearings are shot. Some say all MINIs sound like that, so just drive it, and when the clutch stops working, replace it. In any case, the 06 MCS is the MINI to get; the last production year of the first generation new MINI, it has most of the old bugs worked out, and none of the new ones.

[@nicolagreable]

Thanks for Happy Thanksgiving :D

[@Ddog2k3]

Nice Mini Cooper man

[@tinobrkic]

finaly a test drive.

[@Corkoth55]

love the little backfire-ish noises the exhaust makes on this car. wish mine did it.

[@PistNRods]

Might pick up one of these. Thx for then in seat view. Gives me a bit of an ideas what to expect.

[@xxBLKSNXxx]

As a previous owner of one you want to make sure the supercharger fluid has been replaced. These are known to be dry as a bone.. If the gears dry out the grinding begins. Mine was and is a pain to change out. It was a fun little car but things can get costly.

[@AndreySR]

Good engine sounds!

[@dej1541]

Getting one for my first car cant wait 😄😄😄

[@TheRounderz]

gotta love the stick shift!

[@joeld2200]

Good vid

[@thefominator456]

I feel proud to drive stick shift.....Awesome video!!

[@DTxOctavariumx]

OH WOW! You told the same joke TWO times in a row! Good job! Go on tour people will LOVE you.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

That supercharger whine.

[@lpd830]

Happy Thanksgiving! Kyle!

[@ilovecars1996]

this is my favourite car in the entire world

[@ltrebl]

Happy Thanksgiving Kyle!

[@mooseymikey82]

Nice, I think you had to much fun driving that

[@Ty4ons]

Big props to Christal for holding the camera still in the cramped rear seats! Good shifting too Kyle!

[@jonassvetikas1435]

super mini cooper

[@Tumppe1337]

more test drives please :)

[@amarshallify]

Honestly the best car I have ever owned! Don't hesitate to buy one!

[@GoatyHerps]

This is the first car review ever that I was wishing it was an automatic.

[@scottbrixey6284]

They know they know they know...

[@Eljuanitoooo]

That was drake,s headlines

[@MASTERGAMING79]

good old times

[@galvangaming5265]

Scott Brixey I thought I was the only one that heard that, good times

[@justforlaughs8988]

Man from missing my s2000 i thought this would have been a fair competitor but 160hp on a 2600lbs car mine was like 2200lbs woth 250hp at the wheel i wasnt expecting such a massive hp loss 😢 love the body lines of the S just wish they would have atleast been close to a cobalt ss 08 and newer where there like 250+ looks its cool thank you for the video!👍

[@Lolagevideos]

Another great video, would be nice to see more test drives in your videos :) Maybe put a camera on a stand in the car facing you while you talk about the car or something...

[@Thisistheplcetobe]

Is this a stick shift or manual or both ? cause im a new driver and I would love this car but i don't know how to drive a stick shift

[@MirroredRecovery]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. But, does it take any throttle for it to roll forward after putting it in first?

[@gabemartinez1012]

Hey how is it going, have you had any major problems since you got your mini?

[@Carrera911Fan]

you should try to play headlines every time you do your reviews man its sick haha

[@ariyanacabuang9624]

My dream car -3 I love mini Cooper! Want the red and white top though..

[@ShanesAutos]

@saabkyle04 isnt it illegal to be holding a camera while driving?

[@ninjamoto21]

Hey kyle this is a little off topic (ill admit) but can you get the mini cooper with 4WD?

[@HrEmborg]

Thank you. I will consider that :-)

[@djflames24]

nice car... my oldest brother has the 06 Mini Cooper S that he special ordered and his car has a turbocharger that is 210hp... that car some on a dime and sure is really fun to drive...

[@ayerishu]

I want one! :)

[@MrDD321]

liked the 0-60 and the 1/4 mile times nice add

[@giu2085]

that seems like a pretty safe test drive... :P

[@swiththeplan]

Awesome Car Specially With Turbo .

[@hh155]

Savage. Saab Kyle ultimate multitasker.

[@srkennedy95]

Nice! I love Mini's, they're so cool. I know you've driven a couple, are they fun to drive?

[@STheLyricMachine]

Are the back seats comfortable? Especially like in a long drive

[@whitecollarairsoft]

Cool

[@ENZOmasta]

Are those exhaust tips on backwards?

[@zanjani13]

Kyle when you drive an manual hold camera with the hand on the steering wheel and shift with your right so you dont have to put camera on floor when shifting.

[@michaelgriffith6410]

Why i got rid of the first gen i had 10years ago. It made alot of noise in the cabin. I since than went with a 2020 version f56 and big time improvements across the bord

[@Amel22]

amazing all these professional drivers below me

[@Goldenrod636]

Been a while since you have done a test drive.

[@Foxchase92]

I like test-drive videos... But not these cars, they're not exactly known for their quality. But heck, I'm gonna thumb this video up because of the work put into it, you're good at adding interesting facts and you handle the camera well.

[@The98galant]

is that your ford that i saw in the background by the beamers?

[@CapitainThunder]

Time to shine with this wonder full top comment..

[@OlyH08]

Was he riding the throttle when changing gear?

[@acengland82]

So you do not touch the accelerator at all when changing up or down gears?

[@OlyH08]

+acengland82 When changing up you shouldn't really use the throttle, unless your driving hard where riding the throttle between gear changes can help reduce engine breaking. When changing down you can softly tap the throttle to give a smoother gear change

[@ratmtbola]

@Corkoth55 No it's the right one actually. It was the left blinker and he also turned left.

[@andrewb71]

Love minis

[@Guitargod4221]

the hood release is located on the passenger side? what?

[@FelipeMartins96]

You should try a GoPro camera for the driving recording, nice video!

[@BALJIT147]

song song at 3:05, I love that song they played it on the radio like a dozen times when I was driving home today.

[@BojanglesCanada]

Shifting must be fun with a camera in your hand.

[@Stet17]

@derbigpr500 I think you can change the outside temperature readout under the tach to a speed readout.

[@basketballCHICKEN]

they know they know they know

[@TommyBrady_]

I want this car 😭💔

[@jonathangandy]

Lots of 'modest' stuff in this car!

[@The1970sInfatuate]

Does the rear half of the sunroof slide open, or is it only the front half?

[@izidorburum6566]

The1970sInfatuate probably only front

[@BALJIT147]

@Tha89Kid Yeah I hear you, when I have my car I like to my cd's but when all I have is the radio it's the same thing again and again, sometimes two different radio stations play the same thing at the same time and it's impossible to find something good to listen to

[@Bmwx5fan9]

Can u do that black x5 over there at the entrance

[@iceed_1]

we not talking about the amaizing sound of the door?

[@Lucidrythm]

What is the approximate weight limit of the trunk (boot for all the Brits) with the seats folded down? This sounds a bit morbid, but I may need to move a 350 pound headstone from Florida to Ohio for a friend. I would normally just ship the "rock", but the wife and I are going up anyway to visit family and friends.

[@lickdust]

my dream

[@tnhdz]

Kyle, can you make a video on how to drive a manual?

[@mitsoulas93]

Not bad sound for a small engine. =)

[@falaqdad15]

nice shifting... also. dude i'd much prefer a tripod use

[@deathcert75]

what a heap of bmw mini craaaap.

[@infringinator]

8:12 my old camaro!

[@YellowMCG]

Thats your car on the video?

[@mohseen7]

Kyle do some more test drives.I know u can access chevrolet dealership, if u can do for Cruze 2012 or Malibu 2012. Thanks..
