I ordered my 2024 JCW in Rebel Green with red roof and mirrors. Now that I see this car, I'm very happy that ordered the 18" wheels, HK sound, blacked out beltline and the dinamica seats. Of course the 6 speed. Got on the last Thursday in July.
The rear spoiler that you like so much is designed to accomodate the antenna when the hatch is fully open! Cool car. When youre talking about the ease of use of the manual, I believe that is due to auto rev matching..
I'm 57 and have a '23 JCW. When I was researching, I was concerned about how stiff it is. I don't find it too bad at all (my '09 C63 is firmer) and have made two roundtrips from Vegas to Vancouver, BC and back last year and it was tolerable. It is our most driven vehicle ('09 C63 and '18 Macan GTS in garage as well).
And so on and so forth 😅 Good video work showing the details and controls but especially the road and engine noise. That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks a lot four including that.
Love it. Cross-shopping, I suppose the WRX, GTI, Elantra N could be contenders; but, none of those replicate the handling and super-low weight of the Mini. Also at 6'6", I fit great in a Mini and DO NOT fit in a Miata!
Have a 2019 and my only complaint is that I am not able to drive it enough…every time is so much fun and just like the first time I drove it home from the dealership…
technically its a better buy than it was 7 years ago. I had a 2017 Mini JCW hard top. Essentially same exact car. all the options. Plus some more add ons. and the sticker was 48k. Now with inflation and this new one around 45k. I would say its a decent buy
Mustangs with the 6 speed manual also give you gas when you take your foot off clutch. Don’t need accelerator at all Weird Good as an aid perhaps but for someone who learned with no aids, weird…
The problem with all modern cars is the software. For me, I hate the exaggerated clown car interior of the Mini. The infotainment screen puts a square map into a round hole. Doesn't make sense. The video game lights on the bezel are ridiculous. The non-functioning hood air intake is stupid too. The Mini is too much kitsch, not enough function.
The MINI JCW is a guilty pleasure for me. Doesn't make sense on some level, but creates sheer joy when driven!

Hell yeah, sounds like a sweet spec!
I love my F56 so much. I had two loves. My 1995 Eclipse GSX and my Mini. I have mine slightly modded to Stage 1. 280hp/315tq. It's absolutely insane.
That sounds crazy for something so light

I consider to buy the 2024 Mini John Cooper.
These cars are fun cars.

Would've never heard of it without you making the vid so the owners are lucky to have you
Now my perfect car!
Great job today considering the elements.
I would enjoy a small car to toss around. But I think I would go with that Miata you mentioned.
I'd probably go with the Miata too. But if I was only able to have one car, I'd strongly consider this
Absolutely cute car and seems fun to ride, I’m looking forward to receive my Mini John Copper soon. Thanks for this video 😅

Lol. Sounds like you know which car you should get
@@703Speed wildcard: GR Corolla!
Those are pretty sweet too! I have yet to drive one - but have heard great things@@LanceEJones

Cool car and articulate analysis. TY. Bill
Thank you for your very thorough review!
The engine does that so if you're on a hill it won't roll back down when driving. Hope you give this another chance when it's sunny. Plus its quick.
Sitting in my r56 considering this as the new daily😭 keeping the r56 for weekends ofc
Mini is grear car to drive it on corners. it drives like go-kart. Greetings
Yes it does!
always thought it be cool if they made “All4” an option on the jcw
That silver trim piece at 6:48 is called the “curtain line”
Good to know - thank you!
Belt line
One of the best cars👍We have the 2012 edition and it is still in the best form. We also have a drive video on our channel 😉

How much price exactly for this car?
Thanks for the helpful review. do you know the wheel size of it? looks cool
Should be in the video
Looks like fun. Thanks. PEACE
It was fun!

Weird
Good as an aid perhaps but for someone who learned with no aids, weird…

Miata is great but why compare to a JCW?? Such a disgrace to JCW
Shame its got the cheap fake leather seats for the interior the worst possible interior spec to get for JCW
It is a surfboard. Lol
It reminds me a lot of my go-kart days…
Why is no one reviewing normal minis ..I'm tired of seing S and jwc everywhere on youtube
What would you like me to review?
@@703Speed normal mini cooper not S version or jcw
I think that you have to drive all 3 and see the difference for yourself…
Terrible noise from the geese
🙄
Eew. It will just fall apart. No available spare parts.
