- Yep, I've finally done it. These are the Top Ten MINI's you should buy and in no particular order. Now I know I've missed some other pretty cool ones. But, these are the ones where if I had the money, I'd own them all. Of course, who knows what MINI's I'll want next year. Should I revise this list every year?

I don't do anything but DRIVE while I'm driving-- no radio BS or anything distracting... just the fun of driving. I know these are fun- drove one while working as a tow driver a few years back and loved it.
Got a 2006 r52. 6 speed, 17% overdrive supercharger, cat delete, cold air intake, resonator delete, clutch and some other small things. Ive had people chase me down in parking lots, trying to buy it. Its also a little more rare because its british racing green with a green top. Love this car its way too fun to drive.
My Mini mechanic used to own a 1964 Mini. Too bad he sold it. And in my area someone drives a MINI GP1 as a daily.
I also used to only drive manual cars, but my wife can only drive an automatic. I even got to like using the automatic gearbox. As a downside: Most cars in Holland are manual so an automatic will cost more to buy.
Owner off a r58 Coupe S here. And yess it a fun unique cool mini. And not many here in holland
R55 Clubman JCW for me, the rarest of all the production cars on here only 600 made Worldwide/231 in the UK making it extremely hard to FIND, the N18 LCI is even rarer and best option . Best looking to IMO. Deffo a future classic.
Great video as always, thank you!
I am thrilled to be the owner of my daily driver: it’s a 2010 factory JCW. Only wish I had the WC50 but I’m not complaining
Great video as always!
Well, I missed my opportunity to get a 2022 JCW 2-door by 24 hours, but it looks like I will be getting my hands on a 2020 JCW Clubman this week! My dream of finally joining the ranks is about to come true!
I bought a jcw clubman a couple months ago and I absolutely love my clubby. I want a 2023.
I really want another R53! It would look really good in my garage next to my F56S.
I love the style, comfort and overall experience of driving a mini, I could not care less about speed, I suppose it has something for everybody.
Getting a new mini next month, God willing.
How'd it go... did you get one?
Same as me
Thoughts on the R59 Roadster S / JCW? - I'm usually not a "rag top" kind of guy but one setup similar to Petrol Ped's is pretty nice. BTW - I agree with your list even though I only have a couple ones on it - I'll have to correct that over time ;-)
Minic: I enjoy seeing your videos, I have a question: Do you think Mini will bring out another GP in the future.?
Maybe electrical ?
I have an R53 with a 6 speed and Eaton super charger. It's almost as much fun as my motorcycle. As always "4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul."
Great video, agree with this list!
@@TheMINIac Mini Clubvan obviously 😂😂😂
Like what I see I luv them all I had ajcw first gen same colours as that had a second gen jcw r56 an I'm just about to buy agp3 I luuuuuuuv em the best
Currently with a 2019 Countryman S ALL4 acquired less than 12 months ago. Then I found a 2018 Countryman S ALL 4 JCW for a little under 20K kms difference than mine. Strongly considering trading it in because dealership is willing to pay the entire money owing of mine. Test drove it, no issues in & out, passed their own technician report sheet and I was smiling the entire time (I forgot to visually check brake life), and forgot to ask for service history. My only concern is the current used car interest rates. Basically now at 3.9% and if I trade in for the JCW, it'll be 10% interest rate - Any thoughts anyone????
My 1st Mini was a 2011 R60. I traded it in a few months ago for my lovely 2017 F60 as my Family/all season Mini. Now I'm waiting for my 06 R53 JCW! I just found a unicorn of an example so I snagged it right up! It'll get delivered later this week I'm so excited! Super cool to see a MINI of mine on your top 10 list!
And it’s my personal top ten list. So my top ten will always differ from someone else’s.
@@TheMINIacI can buy a nice looking 2011 for $3,000 but it has 170,000 miles on it?
@@TheMINIac May be off topic but need advice. Can buy a 2011 Mini off a lady going through a divorce for $3,000. Fax looks good from what I can tell except one minor accident 4 years ago that rear ended a car and set off air bags. Grille and bumper was replaced and repainted. See nothing that worry’s me other then it has 170,000 mikes on it. $3,000 a good buy? 2011 Mini automatic a good car?
I"m just getting interested in these---- was looking at a LEXUS GX470 but they're too big. I have one eye now and would have more fun driving this-- also I can part this easeier!! AND with my health- I don't think I"ll be "offroading " much (for the Lexus) so this would be GREAT. Which would you recommend- and what do you recommend. AlSO- what would you consider to be a good ALTERNATIVE to this in case I can't find one of these that I really LIKE??
Depending on your needs, I would look at the countryman or clubman if you’re looking for more space and all wheel drive benefits.
Funny listening to these prices. Brand new non JCW / non S 3dr Coopers are double the US price here in the Philippines. I totally understand import tariffs in countries that have a domestic auto industry to protect. But the Philippines has none! They manufacture nothing! All vehicles here are imported either from Japan, Korea, Germany, China, US, UK, and the list goes on.. I pay, because I love my MINI.
(A new Dodge Challenger goes for 5X US price. Mustangs & Camaro’s, 2 to 3X) So looking for a ‘rare’ vehicle here is an untenable option.
Honorable mention would be the R56 Mini Cooper GoodWood Edition designed by Rolls Royce.
In the USA is the cooper the base model?
Where i'm from the base model is the mini ONE, which has 75kw and the cooper 100kw.
What do you think of the 2016 Minni Cooper S 2dr hatchback??
I had a 2017. I like them.
Mini jcw f56?😊
interesting. i was looking for 2011, and 2016 passed right over
2017 was when the F56 saw improved reviews and reliability according to consumer reports.
I am looking at a 2017 mini cooper S and am getter it for 3 mil Jamaican. Is this too expensive?
@@kirklandobrown282 that’s around $19,000 US. What’s the mileage and equipment?
@@TheMINIac the mileage is 33000
@kirklandobrown282 seems reasonable then
10:00 if I win the lottery, LAP is building me one 🥵
@@TheMINIac idk I may steal it if I'm in the driver's seat
My poor r60 never gets love ;-; except from me of course😂
The R60 isn’t a bad car. JCW variants are pretty cool.
Im thinking about trading my 2003 Mazda for a 2006 mini Cooper?
While they can require some maintenance, they’re a lot of fun.
@@TheMINIac I'd like to build it like that serious video!
Minis in the Italian job reboot weren't JCW.
The red car is a cooper s, the white and blue car are mini basic
:)
2 of the minis were electric ⚡️
at the time the JCW was a dealer installed kit. So yes, those 3 were, in fact, JCW's. They had a performance package for the Cooper as well back then. All 3 MINI's in the subway scene were electric cars.
Why the apostrophe?
@@TheMINIac Who told you that? LOL. Plural = Minis
Damn mine doesn’t make the list 😢
Which one is it?
@@TheMINIac Mini Cooper S R52 in cool blue which in England there isn’t many about in that colour
@@stevemelling8450 This list was my personal opinions and I’ve not really been a fan of convertibles. That’s the only reason they were omitted.
@@TheMINIac everyone’s got different taste I mean I think a JCW Pacemans the best looking mini
I thought these cars were a nightmare so many horror stories
Paceman :(
A fool and his money are soon parted...
I beg your pardon?
The motors in the mini are a mechanics nightmare. but i love the rest of the mini for sure. the handling especially@@TheMINIac a zx14 kawasaki, or hayabusa suzuki with turbo would be amazing in these cars...
@@user-jc7jb3bu5s B46/48 engines are notoriously Reliable!
Do some reading.
You’re thinking of the W10/W11 and N12/N14/N16/N18 which if not maintained correctly can be a mechanics nightmare.
Speak up man!
In what way?
The new mini's are nothing but a badge that allows BMW to build front wheel drive shite boxes. Having driven many cooper s proper minis including one of paddy Hopkirk's factory race cars, mini mokes, standard minis from 850cc to 1100cc. I loathe these bloated fashion statements and children who know no better. One thing I have in my favour is that I can go back to the previous screen, hit the do not recommend chanel button and never have to hear you prattle on ever again.
Bugger Off then.
And thank you for your view as well.
