2015 Mini John Cooper Works Review - Inside Lane

The 2015 Mini John Cooper Works is a pocket rocket packing 228BHP and capable of 153MPH. This latest JCW gets new pistons, exhaust system, revised Brembo brakes and optional adjustable dampers. It makes the most amazing noise as it pops and bangs under deceleration and fizzes when accelerating. Agile and fun to drive, this Mini John Cooper Works is one of the best cars we have driven this year!

Car as tested with options: £31,670

The best review of this car I've seen. Straightforward, informative and honest. Good job.

Watched this so many times now. Probably the best review I've seen. I can't wait to get hold of my new JCW!

I'm not even a mini fan but loved this test drive.  You can really feel the smiles per miles during this drive test!  They have come such a long way over the last few years..I'm considering one now..  what a Great car!

It's funny that this car makes 228 bhp in a Mini that is a lot but a stage 1 tune will take it up to 298 bhp holy crap

I drove one last week! Incredible car, throttle response, the auto gearbox was superb, quick changes etc. I had a JCW ten yrs ago this blows it away by miles! Is very quick in any gear. I WANT ONE AGAIN!

Greetings from Spain!, just got this car and it´s absolutely fantastic, a bat out of hell, and I must say your review was really helpful on my decision.

Very good review about this Mini!., i am about to get mine next week, a 2016 or 2017 with no more then 40.00km., but still not sure about auto or always thought an auto on a Mini JCW will be a crime....but now not sure after this review....i do have a Mini Cooper manual and since few years when i am on holidays abroad i always rent an automatic and love it....but never try a Mini auto....and the second doubt is sunroof or not....anyway, thanks for the review, a very good one!., i watch already the other one with manual!.Best regards

Love this car.thinking of trading my GTC VXR for this mini.Do you think I am mad lol ;)

I wouldn't mind driving one if I never had to look at the outside. They ruined the styling with the F56, the front overhang is too long, those front air intakes on the JCW look like a stupid fish, and the brake lights are way too big. In addition, the entire car is big. Parked next to the R56, an F56 looks positively massive. It's no longer small.

For that reason, I don't think my next car will be a MINI.

Nice car. But, not so nice for a Mini. I brought my first mini in 2004. Since then I have owned 5 and never been tempted by anything BMW did after 2007. I've never brought one older than a 57 reg.

Wow, gotta get me on one or two.🍀🇺🇸😍👍

The ride goes to total shit when he puts it in sport mode
