Just bought a 2nd hand one this year and I LOVE IT. It’s fast, easy to drive, great technology and oh such fun. Love, love, love the exhaust popping & crackling. At the age of 75 it makes me feel my youth again! My little Connie (the convertible) is a keeper. Totally besotted!!
Great review - all my initial assumptions about this car seem to be confirmed. As for the video itself, contrary to what others might think, I like that you don’t talk 100% of the time, with few jumpcuts, it allows me to think and easily picture myself driving this car and enjoying it.
You said exactly the things how I think about MINI’s. The cars are indeed really unique, like no other car. And the looks and designs and sound😍 LOVE IT!
This is such a nice car! I had my 2018 Mini Cooper 3 door hatch in September and I love it! Wasn’t sure whether to get a convertible as I live in the UK, we don’t get that much nice weather so stuck with the hard top. I made sure I had a sunroof so it’s similar to having a convertible but I still have the added safety of the hard top! Think I might get the convertible in a few years time! Love this colour too!
Love this video! Wondrous endorsement for the wit of Danes as much as the wonders of the Cooper! Am about to take the plunge and test drive a Cooper (not soft-top, but with a sun-roof) and it seems the DCT is every bit as good as the manual option without running the risk of wearing out the clutch too soon or foot strain! Is it possible to get good fuel economy in town, too? Did you notice any lag on pulling off, in low gears at low speeds? Superbly funny and helpful film! Great stuff...
I bought my first Mini in 1968 £ UK 615 850 CC . 1977 went to work in the Middle East setting up Car Rental Companies for Avis, Europcar and Budget Starting up and buying what ever I could rent.all types that you get in a normal rental fleet but where people have high disposable income I offered Porsche 911 ,Ferrari, even White Rolls Royce's for Grand Occasions ...My Favourite CAR WAS THE FORD MUSTANG 5.0 litre Convertible I owned 2 , one I drove home via Cyprus and sold it in Germany.. Coming back to live in Cambridge UK. I have had a MINI One convertible for 3 years then a Cooper 3 door .And from the 5 Sept. 2018 The Cooper S My experience in the auto biz has racing and rallying. But there is nothing I enjoy more than my Cooper S and I haven't been above 70 mph yet. its still too new. I suggest you try it or any other MINI if it fits your lifestyle .YOU MIGHT EVEN BUY ONE.
Nice story mate, sounds like an adventure and that you have the Mini close to your heart. We’re actually driving the 2018 John Cooper Works this week, seems pretty fun and more practical than the normal S Cab. Have you driven one? If so what’s your thoughts? Can’t wait to share it with you James. Cheers!
Nice Video! But one thing except the british flag. It’s not a twin turbo, it’s a twin power turbo. That means, it’s a twin scroll turbo instead of a single scroll turbo. One of the benefits is, it helps the turbo to spool quicker
Tjenare! Undrar bara hur du gör för att få prova alla dessa bilar? Låtsas du vara intresserad av att köpa bilen för att få provköra den eller frågar du endast om du får göra en review på bilen? Hur går det till? Grym review by the way!
To answer your question Sam, I think it does have an OPF filter. I did a review on an early 2018 Cooper S on my channel which pops and bangs like no ones business. I think they implemented the OPF sometime after March 2018, so I think the one I had missed out on it whereas this one didn’t.
POV Driving Tjena från Storbritannien 😉 The OPF filter here in the UK is something they’ve added to the exhaust system, in all new cars 2018 onwards to pass emissions and noise regulations in the new European law I believe. So all cars after 2018 whether it’s a brand new Porsche or Mini Cooper S, are significantly quieter and they don’t pop and bang very much anymore, they sound quite muffled. But in your video I could hear the pops quite well, so maybe this car didn’t have the dreaded OPF filter! :D
Oi mate, wanna give u sum feedback , u need to cut more in vids a lot of deadspace mate i would like more in depth review of the cars cuz all u say in every video is this is a good car , like man what? all cars cant be good u never compare to other cars in same segment u just say good car, its good at what it does etc. To be honest I gotta dislike this video mate, its low quality. u can do better mate ps. The tail lights aint 'The English flag' , its the UK flag.
I just saw this comment, I thank you for spending time trying to be positive. I should really consider talking more about the rivals of the specific car. thanks for the feedback. I hope you enjoyed the rest!!
Also, the new Mini Cooper S is awesome. The tech, performance, design and price is also great. Most cars we test drive are awesome, I don't think you will find boring stuff on our channel :D

I do that when I am high
Beautiful city!!

Hello from Germany 🇩🇪
This is a cool clip/movie about the mini 👍
My uncle have a mini too
It's a Mini Cooper S Carbrio from 2014
Thanks, Valerio, the Mini is very cool. Right now we are testing the John Cooper Works!

I LOVE MINI😍😍😍

Are you getting one?
@@POVDRIVING not yet I'm 17 and I don't have a driver's license, but I'm working hard to pay for it in a few months.
Nice Video!
But one thing except the british flag.
It’s not a twin turbo, it’s a twin power turbo.

Bying Mini Countryamn SD 2015 really soon cant wait
Mini's are awesome!
I like it
I really want to have a mini cooper! But the base price in my country is 38,000 USD :(
Can u post more video about this car
Question how do you stop the engine like how do you turn iy off
Hi Nicolas, after you could experience both cars which one do you prefer...the jcw or the s model?
Greetings Nicolas2 ;)
Hey! I prefer the JCW ofcourse , its more fun and sporty. However the convertible S is great for cruising :)
Just bought mine, i have to wait for it and im dying :c
feeling same :(
Got it now?
@@vxjtx2632 Yeah I feel it too right now ^^
I would get one with a 6spd manul as fun weekend car, I would not daily this mainly because when these break they cost a small fortune.
Sounds like a plan, good luck!
We're planning to get the convertible but I'd like to know if rain would be an issue. Any leaks when the roof is closed??
Hi there, not what I know. These are built by BMW so high quality all around.
Tjenare! Undrar bara hur du gör för att få prova alla dessa bilar? Låtsas du vara intresserad av att köpa bilen för att få provköra den eller frågar du endast om du får göra en review på bilen? Hur går det till? Grym review by the way!
Tjena! Kul att du är nyfiken. Skicka iväg ett email till mig så kan vi snacka mer :) Orvelind@pov-driving.com
👍😎
Popcorn from the exhaust,
Lol
its true
Just one point....British flag...not English flag
Sorry my bad, luckily I don't work at national geographic. What did you think of the car?
POV.DRIVING I take delivery of mine on Tuesday, hard top though. Thanks for review.
Lucky you, it's great. Drive safe!
Tomatoes... tomatoes.
Where is that place?
I am a Man, i have bmw 7er, but i very like Mini !
Trying to figure out if this is Sweden or Denmark...
Oskar Süvari 🇸🇪🇸🇪
Its not twin turbo, it's twin scroll. Meaning one turbo with two jets of exhaust gasses blowing at it at different speed and different radial points.
i learnt this not to long ago.... my bad!
That’s my car ! And I’m 14
How much sound difference between s model and jcw?
25% more in JCW. The extra power is noticeable. We will be uploading a POV video soon.

I noticed there isn't much space to install a mobile phone on its dashboard when navigating using Waze.
If there is a will, there is a way!
You just use apple car play mate that’s the way forward now
My bad, Swedish humour ;)
Are you Norwegian?
Swedish
Does this car has a opf filter?
no idea what is that? :D

But in your video I could hear the pops quite well, so maybe this car didn’t have the dreaded OPF filter! :D
What would you choose, mk7 R or Mini Cooper s
Depends on what I’m doing. Golf R is more performance and fun, but the Mini is cooler and nicer to cruise with :)
You cant compare the S vs the R, you should compare the mini JCW vs mk7 R 👌🏼
The rear break lights are not the English flag it's the United Kingdom flag. The uk is Scotland Wales England and NORTHEN ireland
yes i've been batterd online for it! sorry fish and chips
It’s a British flag, not English. Good review!
Its not twin-turbo, it has one twinscroll turbo 🤦♂️🤷♂️
But no one knows the difference..
Union flag
