    Looking at the nose I really feel they should have left the lower front look the same. I am totally fine without the fake hood scoop on current models ( I know a lot aren't) but really like the more aggressive lower front on the current model S than that smooth look. Only issue out back, and just applies to the S, is lack of exhaust being visible. Totally fine with how they look for the less than S models but S and JCW deserve a little more aggressive looks than those models that aren't. Just my thoughts.

    I am a new Mini owner. I have a 2024 JCW convertible and I absolutely adore it. It's my "mid life crisis" car. I have seen many minis on the road and always thought they looked cute and peppy. I especially loved the convertible and am so happy I finally have one. It is like driving around a go kart with stiff steering and the JCW's pep is amazing. I just returned from a week spent driving my Mini through the Smoky Mountains National Park.
    I love my Mini, but I'm not sure if I am a fan of the 2025. I like the sporty look of my JCW. The 2025 looks a little plain/bland. However, I do love the new round full console. That is the only thing that I wish my current Mini had. I am sure others will absolutely love the new Mini. But for now I am so HAPPY with Miss Bitty Blu. She is so much fun!
    Before I bought my Mini I went through all of your's and other Mini enthusiasts videos on TH-cam. I knew how to run all of the little gadgets on my car before I even bought her. Thank you for your enthusiasm and detailed information on the Minis. You are a great ambassador for the brand!
