WATCH This 2022 Mini Cooper S 2 Door Review BEFORE BUYING

I've always loved the Mini Cooper for its charming looks and quirky interior. I'm glad for 2022 the Mini still retains everything that makes it great despite slow sales as of recent years. I believe the Mini Cooper and some of its higher trim levels would make for a great lease vehicle amongst the competition.

After 25 yrs in my E36, I got a Mini S. Now, everyday, I get to go to Disneyland twice a day! Once on my way to work, and once on the way home. #BeMini

The handles are designed for you to use your right hand to open, (left, in the passenger seat) as by doing so you are forced to turn and look behind you before exiting the vehicle. Good approach to safety.

Thanks for another great video I'm going to catch up with the ones I missed over the past month I've been busy

Love these Mini's my first car I bought at 16 was a 68' Cooper S. These do have a little more creature comforts than the old ones but nothing like the oldies. Great look at this little car. Thanks Kevin.

One of the few reviewers who knows how to drive and shift a Mini!

My family bought a 2022 Cooper S Clubman (F54) for the exact reasons that you mentioned: safety, size (can fit my teenagers), and it's fun to drive. Plus I got a comfortable interior, WITH POWER SEATS (that was a must), and all the bells and whistles as part of a package when they price them as add ons in the smaller models. I feel like I got a lot more for my money. Also, I have a manual transmission and I like the stop/start function. It doesn't interfere with my driving since the car restarts as soon as I depress the clutch--it also restarts itself if I sit at a stop too long -- and it helps save on fuel. However, as you said, you can turn it off if it bugs you.

Only thing I would change with this Mini is that I'd put the previous analog speedometer instead of that five inch instrument display flat display. Glad Mini kept the big circle in the center console and maintained the tradition of the Mini. The Mini is the best looking of all the modern, "retro" cars.

I remember a german car dealer told me from 2020 all mini cooper's have something called like shifting assist. Whenever you push the pedal the engine raises the RPM slightly by itself so that shifting into next gear is more smoth

Excellent review. Very informative. Thank you!

[crimsonpak]

Nice relaxing review . Don’t have any experience with minis, but always thought it’s a cute looking iconic British cars. Have had several bmws, so feels familiar with minis performances . Keep up the good work.

[MrSophistication]

Really informative and well put together review.

[John-nfmc]

Excellent review. We have a '22 S, 2-door, Signature trim. After 6 months with the car, I agree with all of your comments. We wish it had blind spot warning. Power seats would be nice, too. And some of the features we'd like just weren't worth paying up for. Overall, it's a great little car and we enjoy it a lot.

How far back can the front drive seat go when you fold the back seats down, Im 6'2, always wanted one of these, but would have the back seats down all the time for golf clubs etc.

[firstandlastname]

Great review! So 2022 still have muffler pop sounds?

[tomfoolery]

Oh and the pink one I saw has those eye lashes by the headlights 🤣😂😹

[leeandjancruise]

I have a fully loaded JCW and it's the dog's shiny bits, yes it's small but the give away to that is in the name MINI so is most suitable for owner's who don't normally carry adult passengers, just a small child or two maybe? I don't understand why in the comments some posters think they are unreliable, maybe way back in the past with the Peugeot engine but today's MINI is a premium built BMW with many of it's parts including the new BMW B48 engine used in many other cars across their range, suppose mud sticks but hey people open up.

[MeynMotorGroup]

😅 thank you my friend and I appreciate you stopping by!

[countalucard]

I drove 3 leased Mini 2 door manual. The one I have now is automatic and I don’t think I will go back to manual when this lease is up.

[Sami]

I would like to ask you if the car has Apple CarPlay technology

[sayit]

got a 2020 mini cooper in moonwalk grayy, tested the S, not worth the up and as u said the 3 cyl has a almost silly sound and vibration pattern xD
