These wheels are 18 inch, not 19 ! Come on man, open your eyes, it is written on the f*king tire!!!

[@MrZoolando]

This car hasn't got a twin turbo, it has a twinpower single turbo

[@K21_KXW]

The short wheel base is the reason it handles well. Leave car reviews for those who know cars

[@zjhess4658]

Chill dude i think he did an alright job.

[@iambloater]

PDC not PDK, DRLs not DLR, the JCW Cup spoke wheels are 18” not 19”, Green mode not Eco, dual clutch not dual change, twin scroll not twin turbo and wait what, styrofoam!? - sheesh, please stick to playing with your Nintendo gameboy 🙄😂🤷‍♂️ Love my JCW.

[@julianrobinson0]

Beat me to this. As soon as I heard twin turbo I couldn't hold it in

[@kazino21]

you could tell it was going to be like that from 10 seconds into the video

[@georgioskyrou3869]

i miss your vlogs please come back

[@XxBretterzzxX]

When he said DLR did he mean DRL? And does not realise DRLs are a legal requirement anyway as of 2011 or am I wrong ?

you mean DRL not DLR, Daytime Running Lamp

[@madzangels]

Dude you curbed the shit out of those alloys 😂

Did he talk about the steering twice ?

[@thesimsfan12]

Description says "2019 Mini John Cooper Works Hardtop" But in the video you say "2017" Clickbait much?

[@snashmd6978]

Sorry mate, but i think this video is just for you alone. A memory video. Another question, is your other channel dead?? I didnt see a normal "marzbar vlog" or something in ages. :( Pls a Comeback

[@TheSarinchuasai]

These rims are 18"s mate

[@Gearsandco]

i love Minis i drove a mini Cooper S sport 2018 and it was a blast very good handling and with the sport exhaust it was popping in the back so fun !!!

[@midgetandangel]

Well done Alex for showing every burglar in the country where you hang your car keys!

[@joshuawalker6054]

DRL - daytime running lights. NOT DLR

Daytime Lunning Rights. Get it right bud

[@JulieWallis1963]

I have a Mini Cooper that I absolutely adore. I love my car as much as my pets. When I bought her I was looking at a JCW but sadly the bodywork was in poor condition so I ended up with a regular mini cooper. Minis *are* awesome cars, great fun to drive, economic and beautiful.

[@simeonselmon8318]

There are not economic the only one that's economicl is the one I got mini one d that's the best one

[@turtlephilly]

Had mine for a year and 2 months now. Still a blast to drive every day. DO NOT SPEC WITHOUT THE TRACK EXHAUST. IT IS A MUST HAVE!

[@charlescos]

DLR - Docklands Light Railway or DRL Daylight Running Lights ??

[@murraycuthbertson2857]

Excellent review, young lad has natural talent when presenting, refreshingly honest, would like to see more of his reviews.

[@STIGSTER2K9]

DLR?? I hope you mean DRL (Daytime running lights) other than that I like you 😂😂

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Gollum drives a Mini Cooper JCW who would have known :-). Great review of your "precious" Mini cooper. We have three in the garage, they are a lot of fun.

[@BOSS3ayed89]

He asked for an electronic hand brake. Disliked.

[@craiglittlehales7988]

Exactly! No proper car enthusiast would ever prefer an electronic handbrake

[@alexanderhouston8249]

Really honest review however as a constant watcher of your vlogs I understand how much you love this car, but as a new viewer you are underselling the car!! Why give 3 disadvantages of a car when your trying to sell it to someone, yes I agree cover disadvantages but don’t dwell on them, overall it is a sick car!

[@WillSatchwell]

Re: Gearbox: Its a ZF 8 Speed with GPS shifting. Torque converter box over a dual clutch as in the Golf R. Fwd, RWD or 4WD it doesnt matter. Its a good box but it wont let you change when it doesnt want to. Looking forward to seeing what your bring on board next! :)

[@AlexanderSmith600]

Do you watch his vlogs? He has a BMW M2 Competition 🔥

[@effervescence5664]

I find this so amusing "wish it had an electronic handbrake" - still managed to plow it into the curb and forgot it had a manual handbrake. I pointed the same thing out about his gear box when that incident happened as no one seemed to know that box doesn't like shifting if it doesn't want to.

[@CustomTO]

2.0 Twin Turbo? 4:05 i dont think so

[@Bogging_Along]

Its twin scroll, he doesn't seem to know much

[@pspfreaker13]

This generation MINI does change a lot if you are driving in different modes. Sport mode means, quicker throttle response and stiffer suspension if you have the adaptive suspension.

[@radonvon3120]

I can’t wait I just bought a 2019 jcw I’m soo stoked ! I bought it after testing a 2016 cooper s which blew my mind cuase it’s faster than my Audi TT which effing rips! And it’s steering is sharp and precise, I haven’t even driven the jcw but after the cooper s I was sold so this jcw I’m waiting to show up is no doubt going to rock my socks 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@JL-ho3op]

Mate, I had a Cooper S courtesy car from BMW, 2 months later, I have ordered the new JCW! Amazed me to be honest, cant wait to get it

[@Naspirated]

Yes mate, don’t blame you they are absolutely fantastic cars

[@radonvon3120]

@@thedarrencasey yep it’s amazing best car ever! But a Jack wagon ran a red light and messed my car up! I’m currently rebuilding it! Really sucks to learn about these cars by fixing mine ! But all I’m waiting on is parts rn and I’ll be on the road in the spring again! Seriously mind bending performance! And the airbags work great fyi 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣

[@fnky143]

I managed to ignore your slip on DLRs but as soon as you said 'twin turbo' you lost my attention completely. Read a spec sheet, it will buff your credibility.

[@fnky143]

@@techflow Single turbo Jed. 'Twin Power Turbo' is BMW marketing. BMW had a class action lawsuit filed over it by a disgruntled customer once for misleading advertising. It was however voluntarily dismissed in the end.

[@victorshane4134]

Twin Power Turbo - The innovative 3-cylinder petrol engine with its exceptional smoothness, the 4-cylinder petrol engine and the BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine, multiple winner of the “Engine of the Year Award” - they all set new standards. In the latest generation, they prove to be more economical, lower on emissions and more powerful than their predecessors. In order to increase efficiency and dynamics, this innovative package - a milestone in the BMW EfficientDynamics strategy - combines the latest injection technology and Valvetronic fully variable valve control including double-VANOS with innovative turbocharger technology. The result is an especially efficient drive system that impressively illustrates the engine expertise of BMW

[@markhumphreys3844]

@@techflow If the engine cover says "Twin Power Turbo" then this is BMW's way of making you think its a true twin turbo when infact its a twin scroll turbo which simply is a single turbo with two scrolls internally that seperate the exhaust gas. Reduces tubo lag but not a true twin turbo.

[@benmoss4966]

Where the hell are you on the vlog channel

[@mjkinga]

If your going to review a car especially one you’ve owned for two years know what you are talking about. I also stopped it after you said it was a twin turbo. Uhhmmm it’s not.

[@Thomasm3321]

DLR? Don’t you meant DRL? Daytime Running Lights.

[@BurritoSenor]

That's what I thought lol

[@DamoDrives]

Got to drive the JCW last week with pro tune kit and it’s so much better than standard especially with the pro exhaust

[@peterrosscochrane]

Generally, a good video, decent delivery. As others have said - DRL not DLR. Daytime Running Lights - I also stand to be corrected here but I don't think you can 'spec' these - aren't they standard with LED lights? Also the movement of the lights with your steering input is Adaptive LED Headlights which is an optional extra. It's a not a centre console that is 'down' and getting in the way of your click wheel infotainment controller (iDrive in BMWs) it's an armrest. Which BMWs don't have the front windows go the whole way down? Also, the speed limit display on your Head Up Display? That's a Driver Assistant Package not an 'autonomous' car - there is no such MINI (yet!) I don't mean you any ill will with your videos but the lack of knowledge is odd. The steering wheel reach and rake adjustment discovery...You do though have 365k subscribers so you must be doing something right!

[@FixedLondon98]

The number of factual errors and incorrect statements in this is absolutely ridiculous, get a grip and stick to reviewing tech, leave car reviews to people that know what they're talking about

[@JB-bl6ky]

Miles Brewer agree 👍🏼

[@danhibbert3803]

@@r.c.m.vanderheijden7597 What a stupid attitude to have. People are welcome to criticise a video that is putting out false information and masquerading it as a "review" all they like, it should be welcomed. The burden of proof in terms of who needs to show what is correct should be on the person "reviewing" the car, not a commenter!

[@ruimarques_]

Found your channel today with this video. A few glitches on your descriptions but an overall great review and a you are a natural. 300k subs, 21 years old and plenty evolving potential mean you will be a big name amongs youtubers.

Love it! Camera work is on point

[@Hiichbintom]

In this viseo i heard for the first time, that an electric handbreak would be nicer😁

[@JohnCarlyle]

Since a week ago, I'd agree with him. An electronic handbrake would be preferable. A manual handbrake in an automatic just feels wrong.

[@Kesmy]

very nice review , thanks !

[@AlbaderBohamad]

Excellent video man, I was looking for a complete explanatory video on the Mini. Love this car!!

[@Recidivist2007]

Great review🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@simmysommy]

1:49 Shouldn't it be DRL? daytime lights running XD indeed they are! I've had every generation apart from the Peugeot engined variant from 2007-2013, the classic is unpractical in every way but the ultimate experience (love the smell of fuel in the morning!) the supercharged modern take sounded nice but drank fuel (and had it's share of problems such as the radiator) They nailed it with the new one (apart from the massive owl eyes at the back) that engine has loads of potential aswell I believe it's out of the Supra (Z4? lol) so expect an easy 300BHP don't even need a JCW or GP

[@malakispanien]

It is @0:06 and when I saw this guy with a Kenzo top, I just already knew he's a bell end big time.

[@rtownz251251]

DLRs? They’re called DRLs (daytime running lights). When you said bi turbo, I lost it though. If you’re going to do a review, please check your facts. Also please loose the kenzo shirt during videos. On a positive note: nice editing and videography. Just keep it to tech please.

[@A6RXN]

rtownz251251 it’s law that new cars have DRLs too, can’t ‘spec them’

Jcws are reliable cars you just need to do extra research on Turbo engines as certain habits will greatly decrease the life expectancy of your car. Have fun trying to find a used jcw tho, they’re almost nonexistent in my area lol.
