Trying to get my wife to switch from her R60s All4 (2013) to one of these - I know she likes the Rebel Green and the Malt Brown interior - the only issue is she might find it too nice to drive ;-)

[@HenryChinaski614]

Hello. I have the exact same REBEL GREEN 2022 JCW except without the red roof. My roof and mirror caps are black. An excellent vehicle and the MALT BROWN interior is gorgeous. Quick as a demon. Thanks.

[@pahouseholder]

Music to my ears. Some day I'll have a JCW.

[@dealman3312]

Going to look at a 2019 rebel green with red top and 6spd manual. What do you think of this color combo? I heard its harder to sell green. Why are some JCW's 300hp+ and some 228hp?

[@TheMINIac]

2020 they facelifted the clubman and following year the countryman. For the JCW variant they installed the new B48A20T1 with 8-speed Aisin and a mechanical front differential. The same engine powers the X2 M35i. 301 horsepower in the US and 331 torque. They became two of the most powerful MINI’s in production and the Clubman ended up being one of the fastest with a zero to 60 of 4.5 seconds.

[@TheMINIac]

As far as the color and transmission, I like the combo. Go for it.

[@dealman3312]

Can you use the 19” jcw rims with real all seasons year round in snow as well? Or do you absolutely need a second set of rims with winters?

[@TheMINIac]

You can buy all season tires in 19” size for these cars.

[@928Porscheman]

I have never seen anyone push a floor jack like the tech in 3:04 😅 Nice Countryman too!

[@TheMINIac]

😂. I didn’t even notice that.

[@rodneybetz3886]

Zach, I just traded in my 7 for the blue 2024 Countryman S today. So far I love it.

[@TheMINIac]

You’re the one Samer was talking about lol. He said he was getting in a 4-door hardtop with some good amount of mileage that would make for a fun video.

[@rodneybetz3886]

@@TheMINIac lol 😂 it has 175k and some small damage at the brake air induct from hitting a coyote 4 months ago.

[@dealman3312]

Hey Miniac, 2020 jcw countryman all 4 vs 2018 jcw countryman all4 in manual. 26mpg combined 23/30. And 24mpg combined 20/29. Is the fuel economy really that close between the 300hp and 228hp variants?

[@TheMINIac]

Indeed it is. How they managed to do that though is baffling. I’m going to see if I can get more info on that.

[@BusTrainsGuy18]

My 2023 1.5L Exclusive Countryman has the stress bar even though I don't floor it around corners except for my mother

[@TheMINIac]

All Countryman do. It’s standard in the car.

[@BusTrainsGuy18]

@@TheMINIac Thats nice, atleast MINI are making the Countryman more fun to drive, honestly I love going around corners at speed the Exclusive trim holds it well.

[@BusTrainsGuy18]

@@TheMINIacOne thing I do have to say is though I’ve managed to get 40.8mpg on the main road and 43.3mpg on the Motorway is that strange or is that good.

[@TheMINIac]

@@BusTrainsGuy18 in a Cooper Countryman that’s pretty good. If it were in a JCW Countryman that would be insane.

[@teknomanning]

Yup

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

I own a r55 jcw and I love my clubman and I really want a new clubman or countryman in the near future

[@TheMINIac]

I had an R55 JCW. Loved it.

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

@@TheMINIac I just got the timing chain done last week but I still need a replacement turbo though so going bigger turbo and ecm flash for over 300 whp soon.

[@TheMINIac]

@@nolahahnshouse3389 I think you can get a bigger turbo at Outmotoring if you look in their performance parts section. And you can use my discount code for them too.

[@928Porscheman]

Better get one soon, the final edition Clubman was just released.😢

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

@@928Porscheman yeah I’ve heard this

[@TheChannel1978]

Much better than the new one where they made the fatal mistakes of moving important buttons onto a screen like in a Tesla. This is the one to own.

[@TheMINIac]

Haven’t interacted with the new new one yet but the racing team has one as their new hot lap car so I’ll get a chance to

[@ZZ-xx2sw]

I prefer all black model

[@Me-eb3wv]

For some reason I think of this as as a baby Range Rover lol. Baby Range Rover + Audi s3 = Countrymen JCW?

[@TheMINIac]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Me-eb3wv]

Reminds me of an Audi s3

[@TheMINIac]

Except an Audi S3 doesn’t have as much character in my opinion.

[@Mmnikon]

0-60 is more like ~4.5 secs.

[@TheMINIac]

Not for the JCW Countryman. JCW Clubman is 4.5 seconds though. JCW Countryman is either 4.9 or 5.1

[@Mmnikon]

@@TheMINIac I get the mini spec is 4.9 but I have it & it seems more in line with the Car & Driver test which is listed at 4.4. All that to say I am very happy with it :D.

[@TheMINIac]

If you can get it to go faster, go for it. 👍🏻

[@dustin802]

Got mine for like 46k for all bells and whistles. 😊 green and white

[@TheMINIac]

Green and white. Nice color combo.

[@jeffreyjoseph9769]

Did you have iconic package? If so, which dealer and salesman so I can get one. Oh yeah, did you order or was it in inventory.

[@TheMINIac]

@@jeffreyjoseph9769 if you’re talking to me, contact Baron MINI and see if they have any in stock. If not, I’m sure they can order and build one for ya. This one had the iconic trim.
