I read somewhere the door handle is made this way is actually to force the passenger to use the left hand to open when sitting at the right side.... this will naturally make the head do a blind spot check..... 😅😅
The air-con is not cold because by default, BMW sets the air-con setting to USA region (by default) which has 4 seasons, so if you software code the air-con to "rest of the world" setting, the air-con will be much cooler. I don't think warranty will void, it's just a simple toggle of settings using the right software available out there. Jon seems a little stiff, don't worry, watch a few car reviews like Carwow, to get a few tips on car review in an informative yet fun casual way. Looking forward to see Jon presenting to get more variety in presenters.
Maybe you guys can drive the car a bit more aggressively around bends along South Buona Vista Rd to showcase the handling and drivetrain. Just a suggestion so that viewers are more entertained instead of just listening to the commentary. Cheers
3:56 The interior door handles are designed that way on purpose- it’s made to encourage passengers/ especially the driver to use the other hand to open (which forces the body to turn) so they can look for oncoming traffic before opening the door. Please do your research before making bold claims like that 😂
Guys, a very well done review by our local. I have watched review from Carwow, Carbuyer , buycartv n etc, i have to admitted to say that we are proud to have u guys to done on car review which is meant for our Singapore context as different countries have different specs for the cars which the agents will bring in. I would like to have more Review on some PI Cars which the local agents will not bring in. And also review on Seat Cupra Leon n Cupra Ateca
Have sat in this car (friend of mine) a couple of years back; no doubt it’s indeed feistier, faster and more fun than other compact cars but its small boot space as well as the annoying “tick tock” sound made when signalling don’t really appeal to me. All in all, it’s an awesome review! Two thumbs up for the wonderful hosts! 👍🏻👍🏻
It's a Will Buy personally Jon and James. If you have that nostalgic feeling and the same time, focus more on technology, this will be on the list. Fun car ever? Personally, yes. Job well done. 5 stars. 2 thumbs up to the both of ya.
That was a great review very detailed very helpful I'm looking at one now and I'm trying to decide if I want to get a John Cooper Works or just the s I don't have much choice they're hard to come by. I believe the air can be fixed quite simply by going to the dealer and telling him to fix it and the door handles I'm curious when I go sit in the car hopefully soon I'll try using my left hand in the door handles and see if that how awkward that is it seems kind of strange that they did that without a real reason behind it. You also should have mentioned the back seat also has an extra stand to hold the back seat upright so that you get more Luggage in it least I believe that has it in. Great review though.
Missing Julian's groan whenever he gets into the front seat. He does that on every videos 🤣🤣🤣 but just wonder why. Anyways, love watching all your car reviews...keep it up guys, the Triple Js & Id
I have a 2017 Clubman JCW and I have no trouble with rest visibility. Just told down the head rests and it is fine. I also find that the rear barn doors do not present an issue.
Despite many comments about the back seat guy (who adds no value to these reviews) , sgcarmart keeps including him. Hope they will clarify his purpose or make him useful at the least.
He's Shaz our producer. He ensures the audio feed is ok while we're in the car and also to ensure our cameras are working fine as we yak away. He's vital to the shoot!
@@sgcarmartreviews Thanks for the clarification. Just curious, if you watch other youtube car reviews (with two guys in the car), how do they achieve top quality video and audio clarity without revealing the crew? Is it a matter of equipment used or better technique?
First time in a modern generation MINI? Its only taken you about 20yrs to do that. 😉 I think you've also mistakenly listed it as a 7spd Steptronic initially but later corrected to say it's a DCT
Actually BMW calls the transmission for the MINI a "7-speed Steptronic automatic transmission with double clutch". I must say it's a little confusing too - Jon
I think the reviews are getting better but the boot review was slightly sloppy and seem unprepared. That being said the more you do the better you get and your own style. I like some slingish in it which i can hear and that makes it Singaporean. And we are proud of our Singlish!
@@janicekoh3042, anyone can be well informed. Just do your research online, add in abit of your opinions and make a video. Not too hard isn't it? There are tons of TH-cam channels that do car reviews but how come some channels get millions of subscribers and some don't? It all about the person's personality. Julian got a personality of a rock. That's how entertaining he is.
@@janicekoh3042 , it seems Jon and James got better chemistry as compared to either one of them with Julian. Oh ya, that cute fatty behind damn funny whenever he falls asleep in the video.

constantly kept using my right though lol
yeap! read that too!

Hi! Can you make a review on Attrage after the CB? Thank you! Stay safe and stay healthy!
Bought a newer Version and I am crazy about it!

Cheers man! Thanks for your support!
Ps. Julian groans cuz he's an old man 😬
Only a true fan will notice Julian's groan! Thanks for watching Antony :) - Jon
Great guys....an honest feedback.
The clubman rear view visibility is like not very good The centre seat like block a lot of the visual real estate.
I have a 2017 Clubman JCW and I have no trouble with rest visibility. Just told down the head rests and it is fine. I also find that the rear barn doors do not present an issue.
why the top handle missing for driver seat?
Why is there a guy always sitting at the back doing nothing hahaha
Despite many comments about the back seat guy (who adds no value to these reviews) , sgcarmart keeps including him. Hope they will clarify his purpose or make him useful at the least.
Republique Trendz so you think the camera floats around while the hosts speaks? Choose your words wisely and don’t utter nonsense here bro

@@sgcarmartreviews you guys got it right on the F40 1 Series review. Btw they've downgraded spec on the Clubman, used to have navigation as standard
An honest review. Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback sir. I'll try to be better! =)
Go try the Mini One then buy for far less
Very useful video
With the price I will have lots of cars to choose...
No!
Cooooooooooooooooopppppppppppppr
.
Thank god Julian was not around. At least this video is engaging. When he's around, damn robotic and boring.
🤖?
TRAVIS PORTER I think Julian is very well informed though😆

TRAVIS PORTER So I guess James would be the right person? He’s got the funny persona with a natural flair of a presenter, ain’t him? 😆

Do a review without doing enough homework, lousy review and no knowledge about Mini also dare to do review for Mini … 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Hhhhhjhhhh
