I have a Mini R56 Cooper S 2012 Model here in India. I’m 6 ft 2 inches tall and I fit perfectly in the driver’s seat. And my wife and I drive it about on holidays and things and for two people and their luggage, this is more than adequate. I take it for golf and am able to fit my golf bag and trolley in it too. Rear seats folded down of course.
It's is absolutely fine for tall people, because I'm about 6ft, 2inches tall and I can fit comfortably in the passenger seat of both BMW and Original MINI's
If you buy 3 door one you better hope thy fixed the doors rubbing away the inner door frames like my 2015 Cooper S F56,seems the body being stiff and ride firm and very long doors on the 3 door Mini may suffer from body flex but it takes the paint off down to the metal BMW has no propper fix and will not admit there is an issue or recall.25k miles and inner door frame and rubber door seals worn and a mess now. Look it up it's not just my 3 door Mini.
Mini* released a service bulletin to fix this: Stiffer rubber seals in the early model run did rub paint inside the b pillar door jamb on some production batches. 2017/18 MY onwards this is no longer an issue. The under warranty fix for impacted earlier cars included - off the top of my head: Replacement of the full rubber seal, Paint correct the B pillar if required, clear vinyl paint mask on the b pillar impacted area. *From NAM and F56 blogs owners report that Mini NA and a good chunk of European countries acknowledged and fix thro dealers at N/C. Outside of these geo-areas i didnt read up on
I have loved all 3 of mine including the one I drive now ('21 hardtop S). As hot as you want to push it, cool as shit, and that rounded little bean shape is just so, MINI!!! As far as the storage space, I can actually get quite a lot into mine and as far as the lag with auto off at stops, I flip that switch to OFF as soon as I start her up.
What is your fuel 'economy' on your Cooper and is it manual or DCT? To my mind, the DCT is less efficient and I think that the Cooper S (given it is 189bhp and a whopping 2l engine is delivering fairly decent fuel economy given those specs)??
The Cooper SE is definitely the MINI most people have been looking forward 2 this year. However, it isn't the first all-electric MINI...................Remember the MINI E prototype????
I have the one hatch. Im 6'1 and ive driven with my 6'5 dad behind me a few times for around 20 mins and it was fine. The boot though is very small, and you can only put one suit case in it
Its crazy expensive in the USA too, and has a reputation for being unreliable since BMW took it over; such an awful company when it comes to reliability.
If you're you're looking for a grocery or a family car, you're in the wrong place. If YOU are on crack and want to floor the car in every corner and drive it like you stole it, you are in the right place.
Awful car, one of the worst cars I have ever driven, aside from the Fiat 500X which is even worse. I have been driving a cooper s rental for two weeks, I do a 100 mile round trip to work each day. Its like driving in a fish tank with a fisher price steering wheel. Ok, the 2 litre engine is pokey and it handles well, but the driving position is uncomfortable, the steering wheel can only be adjusted up and down. I'm average height. The door speaker is right where your knee rests, the centre console has an edge that digs into the other leg, your left foot sometimes hits the foot rest when pressing the clutch. What is that handbrake thing for God's sake? The dash is just shite, the fake carbon fibre dash is cheap and tacky. Its hard to read the speedo and rev counter, the fuel computer is in litres/ 100km so is useless unless you have a calculator on hand. You can't read what the switch gear does and its just too far away for practicality. That big round thing with the screen is just ugly, the screen is tiny and the connectivity is awful and for android: only bluetooth connectivity (Before July 2020). Boot and rear seat is tiny, only to be expected perhaps. Oh, and sounds terrible, like somebody farting into a biscuit tin. The car is all quirk and no substance. I'm sure there's more. Just awful. Avoid like the plague.
Everyone I know who has ever owned a mini has loved it
Why is half this review on space? It’s a Mini! If you want space get an SUV jeez

25mpg is appalling! The One delivers better fuel economy, apparently. It ought to be at least 35mpg to be a sure-fire bet!

Sorry. 1600kms in 3 months? So you didn’t really drive it then.
😂😂
High visibility ? You didn't see the A columns?

You don’t buy these cars for room . It’s all about performance.
3 months? That’s long term?
LMAO. AT least do a year. She should go back to modeling.

I bet your dad is low key dissapointed you only grew to 6'1.
Can u add USD or AUD or NZD when u say the price....we dont know from where u r making the video
Go to see a female presenter team, well presented
Q - Is it worth the money????
A - Hell, yes.
MINI's are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice car with excellent gas mileage. Great in-depth review of the Mini
mini dreams, i love it
i want a mini cooper so bad lmao
Someone with high emossion should buy Mini
tak for anmeldelsen!
I love that car but it’s crazy expensive in ecuador
Its crazy expensive in the USA too, and has a reputation for being unreliable since BMW took it over; such an awful company when it comes to reliability.
Sizzling hot 😃
Punchy engine and heavy right foot, make the average consumption be high...
Love to see you 👍🏼
Looks count if you want a job as a car tester( woman only).
She's the only reason I watched the whole thing.
55k for a car with a 211 litre boot can't fit anybody older than ten in the back and a THREE year warranty? They must be on crack.
If you're you're looking for a grocery or a family car, you're in the wrong place. If YOU are on crack and want to floor the car in every corner and drive it like you stole it, you are in the right place.
The car is not meant to be for a family. dont you have any brains?
💘
Apart from the safety tech, my 98 Corolla is more practical than the mini.
She's cute.
How British are Minis nowadays?
😊🙏❤🚘
Rattles in the dash....aarrgghh!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s well overpriced basically it’s a BMW
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg, it's a Mini! It's not practical, why spend so much time on it?
Pretty woman
No its not worth it. Just buy a real BMW and be done.
This looks much better than and entry bmw and Haus a nicer interior, bmw's are ugly
Not a mini. BMW
same thing
