see a lot of negative comments about the mini. RS this, RS3 that....blah blah.
these mini JCW's have always been quicker then they seem on paper. the last JCW 1.6 was spanking Uber hatches around a racetrack with almost 100bhp less and only FWD and no diff.
The mini is about fun and speed. it's not about price or looks or spec sheets.

You guys have knocked out the competition of Evo, Motortrend or Autocar magazine reviews as my favourite channels. Less bullshit, more substance. I absolutely love you guys :D keep up the great work!

Every once in a while I come back to watch this review, not only because its my near future car, but also because this guy and the way he reviews and speaks.

MINI makes some super good hatchbacks. Highest manual take rate of any brand as well.

I have a r56 S 2010 with a jcw software and I can say this car is so much fun to drive. It’s fast and very stable, plus even on my car the sports mode you can feel it when it’s on. The interior is like new every button is working perfectly. The music it’s good. It’s so much fun, when someone is trying to race me😂 I definitely have so much more respect for the brand, and with joy would buy the newer version. !

This guy's gone to the Richard Hammond school of presenting/speaking.

Mini/BMW have just loaned me a brand new JCW for the day to see if it's worth selling my Integrale Evo for - I have to say I'm very tempted - you need to spend some time with the car (and not the usual 10 minute test drive a dealer normally gives) to fully exploit, push and learn how to drive it quickly and find it's limits - lovely thing.

I just had this car on test for the past 2-3 days. I'm a believer now. I really want one.

Best electric steering 2nd to the Porsche Cayman 981. I test drove the regular Cooper S recently and it's a fabulous little car. The seats are perfectly ergonomic, the steering is delicious, and the turn in for a FWD is amazing. But that new front

2:05 I got that fuel economy once. When I got the car I had to drive it home on a near empty tank and managed 51MPG on the motorway. Now it has more fuel I usually average around 30MPG lol

I just got it's brilliant, beyond good. The amount of lateral grip this thing has is truly astonishing. But the best thing is the sound this thing makes. No matter how shitty your day was, get behind the wheel of this thing and everything is forgotten. And yes: I got the automatic, first time ever actually, and the 'normal' auto is, on occasion, a bit too quick with downshifts, but the manual mode with the paddels is impressively good, lightning fast (and it has launch control, which was a big part for me to choose the automatic).

There is one thing: I agree it is a bit pricey, but the next question would then be: is it worth the price?

In my opinion: definitely. Unless you don't like the design of the car (I do, but can understand if you don't), then there are a lot of other options like golf GTI, Focus RS, or perhaps even an Audi S1.

God, I love this
