It’s not a purely logical purchase. I can buy practically any car and have 6 currently. But the Mini is by far my favorite and it’s a love affair for sure. And it has been 100% trouble free in the 4 years I’ve owned it. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah, but how much use does it see? How many miles/kms on it? I've seen too many videos about catastrophic engine failures, turbo failures and electrical issues on these over the years to ever trust the brand.
I have the new Countryman S - it’s the maxi MINI which is much more practical for my needs. It’s not perfect but love how it drives and the design. A lot of Miniacs hate it because of its size. But there are still small MInIs for those who want that. People want larger cars now and MINI is a brand not a size per se. my Countryman S is still a sub compact SUV and I will be able to tow a teardrop trailer with it! Great review as always!
I have too. Last I used the phev model. It's super eco if used not far (37-40 kms) 😅from home. I got a new countryman s for 2 weeks. It's bigger,wider and higher compared last model. And suspension look like soft and smoothly than last model😅. I like mini ways.
We have a mini s as a second vehicle and absolutely love it, would definitely get another one after this. All you have to do is stay on top of the maintenance and it will treat you right, there’s something about a car that makes you smile every time you drive it.
I had a 1970 Mini Cooper for road racing. Had added dual Solex carburetors for a whopping 95 horsepower! The Mini Cooper was called the " flying shoebox" !
A niche car, for sure. It's too bad that manual transmissions are being phased out. Minis are fun to drive, but the maintenance and repair costs are astronomical and must be factored in seriously if one is to consider owning one. At least the reliability has improved. I'd recommend a Mazda Miata in this segment.
@@dg7438 The Miata can be an excellent daily driver, depending on the need. Reliability and ease of maintenance are much better than the Mini. We own both, so I know what I'm talking about.
@@whatgaca sometimes people get stuck in the past. On the flip side, even Toyota is having major issues and having to replace all their engines on the tacomas.
Interesting that they compared it to the GTI. The GTI is definitely faster, had a smoother ride and the handling was very close. While I felt like the GTI was incredibly competent, I don't recall cracking a goofy smile while driving it. The Mini on the other hand was an absolute riot in corners and I couldn't help but have a goofy grin.
Great video as usual guys. I love the new design except for the light colored cloth on the dash and doors. It seems to be a trend in the industry right now which is a shame because everybody knows Dashes get covered in dust within a few days of driving and being light cloth It will look terrible after a couple years since cloth stains and it can’t be simply wiped off with a wet rag like plastics. I know hard plastic isn’t the most luxurious but I’d mulch rather have clean plastic than dingy cloth.
This car is very expensive but I applaud Mini for staying true to their heritage. While other automakers are dropping their trade mark vehicles like VW with the Beetle and GM with the Camaro. Mini did not cave in to the SUV craze and get rid of the fun to drive Mini Cooper
Great looking fun and exciting car that fits many niches for a very fair price! Your review is able to exactly match the level of happiness that the mini is able to create! Just shows what can be accomplished if you listen to your customers and make what they want not what a accountant thinks is fair!!
We love our 2012 Mini Cooper S and wouldn't trade it for the world. In 2026/7, we will be getting another, but I'm not trading my current one. We will just add to our "collection."
Kudos for being daring on the interior, but it's a deal breaker for me. Sounds like the so called cloth on the dash is just plastic made to look like cloth.
I love the mini, but it is such a terrible let down that the manual transmission is gone. For a small, sporty car with a "go-cart" reputation, having no manual anymore really takes the shine out of an otherwise great car. Looks like the used market will be the way to go, or a new miata...
Such a cute car! I love the use of textiles on the dashboard and as a spoke on the steering wheel. However, not having a gauge cluster in front of the driver is a deal breaker for me.
@@andreaspencer9813 Yes, there is, but for me it doesn’t replace an actual gauge cluster. By the way, MINI should have moved the HUD to the windshield for this generation.
I think it’s really fun and cool looking but for me that’s an expensive novelty!…I’ve also noticed that Mini does not have great customer reviews for service and to me that’s most important! Once again great review Zack & Andrea!😊
I could never understand car manufacturers that put the most important information like speed etc (regardless with heads-up display) out of the direct line of sight of the driver… to look over at a screen to get vital information to me is almost as bad as looking over to read a text on a phone. 🤷🏽♂️
The new interior together with the new buttons and toggles looks really cheap. Not to the level of the price they are asking for and definitely a step back from the previous gen. of Mini Coopers. I am glad they kept the round headlights, though. Also if you fancy a Mini, then you will never even look at the 4 alternatives they mentioned here. (I am a Mini owner) Would probably go for something like a Mazda Maida instead which as more characters and a statement.
I like it. I like my 24 2-door Mini Cooper S better. I like having physical buttons, and not have to use a touchscreen to even turn the AC on. A lot of Mini enthusiast are not happy with the new Cooper. Mainly because it lost its manual, but also the S lost its hood scoop, and the exhaust pipes are now hidden. It still looks like a Mini, unlike the new Countryman which many Mini enthusiast dislike even more.
Go see one and drive it in person. Pretty great (we bought one). Also, fake/non-functional scoops? Certainly wouldn't pass on a car that didn't have one.
I love my 2023 mini countryman all 4 s with 16k on it runs flawless, going in for 2nd free service this week, the cloth interior on the door& dash could be tough to clean and bad design in that toggle switch for shifting. But at least you can run the new model on 89 mid grade instead of premium fuel. All the best to You Andrea, Zack & Jack. Evan from NY !
If manufacturers are going to put such large screens (as the center of attention) in our cars, at least make the UI smooth. It’s even more of a distraction when the UI lags from our input while driving.
Hmmm why such a short warranty? I like theyre doing something different with designs but I wish more companies stood behind their vehicle by giving it a longer warranty
I have a 2015 Mini Cooper JCW Convertible and I absolutely love it. The Mini Cooper S still looks great overall, but I’m not a fan of the new rear lights; they seem to detract from the car's overall appearance.
I now call BMW, Chinesisch Motoren Werke. They're a bit obsessed with the Chinese market and it shows across their portfolio. I understand they sell more cars in China than even Europe. But it begs the question, how can they compete against Chinese brands out of China, if their cars look Chinese and cost more?
Hello - to the Motormouth couple. I've just watched (and liked 👍🏼) your review of the F66 MINI Cooper S… after driving 80 miles in my F66 Cooper C (which has the 1.5 litre / 3-cylinder engine in Europe). A couple of quick points; - re: the response speed of the (Operating System 9) infotainment system on your test car… this didn't look particularly slow on your video - but it might've needed an OTA update. Did you check this? The current version is 03/2024.52… but there is an update coming (which OS9 equipped BMWs are getting first). My car doesn't have any noticeable lag… but changing between the 'Experience' modes does take a few seconds because, for example, the sunroof might be closed as part of this process. Unlike some F66 early-adopters, I've had zero glitches with the infotainment system… and my car is a total delight to drive. - re: the date when the J01 MINI Cooper E & SE models will reach Canada and the US… BMW/MINI has announced that this won't be until production moves from China (currently) to the Oxford plant - which is due to happen in 2026. So, the best guess is that you won't see these models until 2027. BTW: I took the Oxford plant tour during the week my car that my car was scheduled to be finished… and I missed seeing it in the final assembly area by less than 2 hours! During my tour, we were driven past a massive construction site… which is where the new production facility for the electric models is being built. - one final point, re: the lack of a manual gearbox… I've previously owned several manual MINIs - including an F56. It's very subjective, of course, but I think the 7-speed DCT is so good - I just can't see any benefit at all in having a manual gearbox. Over here, the Sport model includes the 'Sport transmission' with paddle-shifters - but I don't think that's the same for North America. I like the format of your reviews - and I'll definitely watch some more.
Did you guys talk about the new seat design and the power function. Before this model all mini seats were always manual even on the top end S models both two door and four doors. Also the seats had an adjustable headrest whereas these are integrated into the seat. Which looks nice but a compromise on comfort and effectiveness.
Yeah, JD Power data from 2024 does little to appease me on this brand. They're proven junkmobiles. Perhaps BMW's figured things out by now, but I wouldn't gamble $45k on that.
It is the Look of this 2025 and the new interior design that I am not interested in it. It is mini Tesla. Vanilla looks. I much prefer the previous models. Btw, me and my wife has been driving Mini Cooper since 2005, 2dr for me and 4dr for her
Good review and great looking car!! I would get one, but I would worry about the new Tech and the reliability. Come on Zach stop whining and work those arm muscles lol 💪💪
Yesterday I test drove 1.5 Cooper C, 2.0 Cooper S and finally electric Cooper SE. Best to my surprise was the electric, then the S then the C. Ideally like a 5 door so I’ll wait for the Aceman. Out of interest is the Aceman coming to North America in 2026 when production switches to Oxford or will it arrive sooner from China?
I like the Cooper S a lot but it’s a little pricey for my money. I know they’re not in the same league but I can get a Volkswagen Jetta or just under $30,000 maintenance and reliability probably about the same. I would love for you to Test Drive Volkswagen trendline in the base model six speed. thank you
3:48 that is not how taillights are supposed to function. The brakes and turn signals are supposed to be separate lights and turn signals are amber, without exception. How is this setup with the brakes doubling as the turn signals even legal? Also, this Mini's taillights don't function like this abroad so why did they ruin the taillights on USDM vehicles?
I don't think the alternative cars to consider toward the end of the Video is fair for the mini. There is no other cars being offered at the moment in the same category as the mini. GTI, Civic, M3, Corolla are a larger category and don't offer the same driving experience. Not saying that the other 4 cars aren't fun. But Mini 3 doors sits alone in this category at the moment. Btw, I just watched Matt's (Carwow) review of the Mini EV for the EU market, the back seat room looked anlot tighter than this gas version. Is the gas version really bigger?
I have a 2023 Cooper S and I CANNOT see stop lights from the driver's seat. There is no good seating position for ideal visibility. I really appreciate you for pointing this out with the new model. Love a lot about the car but so many reviews miss this important fact. It is dangerous and a deal breaker for me with future Minis.
wish there was more mini dealers! OR HECK! make all BMW dealers be able to sell and service MINI cars... especially since when they are still under warranty etc. Come on MINI/BMW
Still require premium? As long as Mini does, it will always be a no sale! By setting up profiles, is Mini selling your data and snitching to your insurance company?
Hi both, I'm not sure if you read comments at all and will see this one, but I just want to say not only I don't hate the ads in the middle, I absolutely appreciate yall finding new ways to capitalize monetize your content. Go get them bags and continue producing good videos!!
Bring back simple buttons instead of this tech crap with all the menus to do the simple tasks.
It's considered cool but it's also cost cutting. Makes cars seem so disposable these days.
It’s not a purely logical purchase. I can buy practically any car and have 6 currently. But the Mini is by far my favorite and it’s a love affair for sure.
And it has been 100% trouble free in the 4 years I’ve owned it.
Thanks for the great content!
Yeah, but how much use does it see? How many miles/kms on it? I've seen too many videos about catastrophic engine failures, turbo failures and electrical issues on these over the years to ever trust the brand.
it is a BMW after all, no one sane and logically thinking would expect it to not be one of the most reliable cars in the world.
Always surprise by the matching car with Andrea’s clothes! You must have a humongous closet!🤣

I love the idea of the cloth dashboard, also want cloth seats. Leather is so slippery, yes.
Wait until cleaning time...that cloth may need to be removable to clean or replace
The only way I works get leather is with vented seats. Otherwise cloth!
I had a 1970 Mini Cooper for road racing. Had added dual Solex carburetors for a whopping 95 horsepower! The Mini Cooper was called the " flying shoebox" !
I love cars like this that has so much personalized
Something like a slow head unit would drive me crazy. That’s a dealbreaker!
we own one, it's not really THAT slow and most of your time is spent in CarPlay or Android auto and those are plenty fast.
Like the mini, but love the gti

@@whatgaca sometimes people get stuck in the past. On the flip side, even Toyota is having major issues and having to replace all their engines on the tacomas.
I can’t wait for you to test the countryman✌🏿
My cat would love the dash and side trim.
After test driving the new Mini's, my wife decided on a 2021.
It was the interior in the 2021 that she preferred much more. I agree, actually.
I actually like the look of the new Countryman.
Said no one, ever.
Andrea has a $20,000 per month fashion budget! love baby blue. Mini looks fun! to bad its not a mini anymore, size wise.
Size-wise, compared to everything else out there, it's still mini-sized. Would you really want something smaller?
@@kenhoward3512 yes...i don't want a minivan mini.

Same, my 2013 is a great car. Family members made fun of it until they drove it and get the appeal.
Looks good but too bad about the loss of the manual.
Absolutely hate the added ads in your video.
I guess you get what you pay for. TH-cam Premium is ad free but you have to pay. Comes with TH-cam Music which is great …

Impressive effort by Andrea to match the color of her top with the car.

Hello - to the Motormouth couple.
I've just watched (and liked 👍🏼) your review of the F66 MINI Cooper S… after driving 80 miles in my F66 Cooper C (which has the 1.5 litre / 3-cylinder engine in Europe).
A couple of quick points;
- re: the response speed of the (Operating System 9) infotainment system on your test car… this didn't look particularly slow on your video - but it might've needed an OTA update. Did you check this?
The current version is 03/2024.52… but there is an update coming (which OS9 equipped BMWs are getting first).
My car doesn't have any noticeable lag… but changing between the 'Experience' modes does take a few seconds because, for example, the sunroof might be closed as part of this process.
Unlike some F66 early-adopters, I've had zero glitches with the infotainment system… and my car is a total delight to drive.
- re: the date when the J01 MINI Cooper E & SE models will reach Canada and the US… BMW/MINI has announced that this won't be until production moves from China (currently) to the Oxford plant - which is due to happen in 2026. So, the best guess is that you won't see these models until 2027.
BTW: I took the Oxford plant tour during the week my car that my car was scheduled to be finished… and I missed seeing it in the final assembly area by less than 2 hours! During my tour, we were driven past a massive construction site… which is where the new production facility for the electric models is being built.
- one final point, re: the lack of a manual gearbox… I've previously owned several manual MINIs - including an F56. It's very subjective, of course, but I think the 7-speed DCT is so good - I just can't see any benefit at all in having a manual gearbox. Over here, the Sport model includes the 'Sport transmission' with paddle-shifters - but I don't think that's the same for North America.
I like the format of your reviews - and I'll definitely watch some more.
Is the mini SE not available in Canada?
I just notice she matches outfits on whatever vehicle shes reviewing
It might be fun if it had a standard transmission.. I never understood the appeal of these little pieces of crap
Did you guys talk about the new seat design and the power function. Before this model all mini seats were always manual even on the top end S models both two door and four doors. Also the seats had an adjustable headrest whereas these are integrated into the seat. Which looks nice but a compromise on comfort and effectiveness.
Oh look they glues a frisbee to the dash ……
I have always liked the Mini, old and new, but a price difference of $36k v $26k for the Mazda 3....
RELIABILITY--that's the #1 concern. Will a DCT handle city traffic well? Historically, it seems that the MINI has not been reliable.
Yeah, JD Power data from 2024 does little to appease me on this brand. They're proven junkmobiles. Perhaps BMW's figured things out by now, but I wouldn't gamble $45k on that.
Mini is high on Consumer Reports. Even the "reliable" new Toyota's are having some major issues.
Zack how come you don't also have a matching shirt?
It is the Look of this 2025 and the new interior design that I am not interested in it. It is mini Tesla. Vanilla looks. I much prefer the previous models. Btw, me and my wife has been driving Mini Cooper since 2005, 2dr for me and 4dr for her
Good review and great looking car!! I would get one, but I would worry about the new Tech and the reliability. Come on Zach stop whining and work those arm muscles lol 💪💪
Really curious to see whether the oles will burn in

Why is no one seeing how Mini has cheapened the car. Price increase but less for the money .
Leaning back to simulate acceleration.
Is it premium fuel only?
It's recommended
I like the Cooper S a lot but it’s a little pricey for my money. I know they’re not in the same league but I can get a Volkswagen Jetta or just under $30,000 maintenance and reliability probably about the same.

I'm just over 6' and I had the same issue with my 94 Miata, and my 05 Z4 to a degree.
Yes it's definitely a problem for taller people.
The newer Mini's have a more raked windshield now. I didn't have a problem w/ it during my test drive.
BMW pricing the margins on these out the door must be approaching criminal.
a 2 litre turbo making only 161hp????
It's subjective, of course, but I have to disagree. This new Mini, to me, looks cheap and tacky inside and out. I'd definitely pass on this gen.

Turbo and Dual Clutch Transmission. Pass for the long haul.
wish there was more mini dealers! OR HECK! make all BMW dealers be able to sell and service MINI cars... especially since when they are still under warranty etc. Come on MINI/BMW
Why would they remove the option for a M transmission? Am I that old??? Could do without the big eye. That's too big!
Guess it's too small to make a hybrid huh?
It is a minion
The window controls are in the touchscreen. Hell no, stupid idea.

Depends on the looks, the range and the price.
No one is saying anything about the changes to the exterior? The body has been smoothed out too much and lost some of its distinctiveness.
