Just bought my first Mini Cooper S 3-door hardtop with manual transmission two weeks ago. Can't find anything I hate so far. First sporty car like this I have ever owned, at age 60. Kind of like learning how to drive again. I had a friend who races take me out for a basic lesson. I don't have your need for speed, but I am enjoying your videos. You really have a joy for driving. Subscribed. Maybe some videos for newbies like me in the future? I just want to get the most enjoyment out of the car, while keeping things somewhat safe and sane. Thanks and greetings from Northern California.
I there and thanks for the Sub. You might like my Autosolo videos as this is a great way to explore how great your car and that motor racing feel with no risk of damaging your car ! Your Mini is VERY capable :-)
to be honest we bought our Roadster in May '22 after seeing your youtube films. Loving it ever since. Came in complete JCW bodykit but meanwhile we did the dechroming and further exterior adaptations. Love the car . Great piece of machinery.
Nothing's perfect Peter. Passenger seat belt on my coupe does the same so I pull it across the seat. Don't have any issues with "play" in the seat. As an ex Motor trade guy I would say it's probably wear on the latch mechanism- dealer or good car upholsterer should be able to tell pretty easily. Tailgate heavy? Wow be glad your's isn't a coupe !! Roof handle & windows? Totally agree they could have done something better. I actually prefer the window switches on the dash. My F56 door switches drive me nuts !! All of that said, carry on loving her for what she is. You know it makes you smile 😃. All the best Geof & Corky the JCW Coupe
I have a 2012 R58 JCW with black stripes, I'll share my 5 things but yes I love the car no matter what too. - I hate how far back the seatbelts are (was able to fix that by installing Front Seat Belt Holder Extension Guides from AliExpress thankfully) - Absolutely hate how the window will drop the instant you open your door. It makes the door feel like its falling off the hinge (All BMW's do it, it feels horrible) - No coolant temp gauge or any gauge that shares the slightest information about your sports car like turbo boost etc (luckily I have a OBD2 P15 Head-up Display also from AliExpress) - I hate that theres no space saver rim, runflats are horrible - I fidget a lot in my seat, it's the most uncomfortable seat Ive been in if in it for long periods of time. I love how it hugs you, but the seat is rather stiff and not spongy.
R56 mini JCW here, absolutely adore it. I have the same seat issue on both my front seats. About the temp gauges... If you have a gps you can have gauges installed for engine temp, or so they say at my local mini dealer. As I don't have a gps I can't tell for sure... Pleasant videos to watch, keep up the good work!
Fully automatic roof (without the manual handle) closed windows. With this partly manual roof the windows have to drop to allow space for the roof hinges. Window switches are in the middle as the classic Mini had all toggle switches in the centre console, so with electric windows they kept all these grouped.
Bryan B. put it right on the spot...😂 You are smiling throughout the whole video talking about what You hate about the car 😎🤪 A week ago on Friday I got my Abarth Rivale 695C and it only makes me smile as well 😂
Same bloody irritating clanking about with the passenger seatbelt on my Cooper S Paceman - jeez. Glad it just wasn't me getting annoyed. Great car, replaced now with an M140i. Keep up the great vids - and delighted with the growing fan base.
The latch would freak me, my roof goes down no hatch so yep that’s ridiculous, I also agree would prefer window control to the right of me rear window is a nightmare in winter 😱
What annoys me about mine is the audible beeb when I turn the car off and I've left the spoiler up. Quite aware thank you mini and I want it up too! :)
Found your vids looking for the Dobbelsteens, saw them on another MINI Roadster at an event in the US and need a set for our Roadster! We love ours to bits too. Agree with most of your quibbles, but maybe push the dealer a bit to sort out your seat movement, ours doesn't do that, so it doesn't seem to be a design flaw. Happy motoring!
First congratulations on breaking the 4,000 subs. Secondly omg the handbrake turn!! I thought you was going to drive to a layby to do it not spin it around on that narrow road!! thought u was heading straight into the hedge/trees !! Also thought the image quality was super sharp 👍👍
I have only one thing i hate about my R60 Cooper S -- OE Runflats. Results in a horrible jittery ride, even though they stick well, get rid of them as soon as you can.
look like your having so much fun driving your car. I am considering buying my first Mini Cooper S (2014 or 2015 ). But as a researcher for info before i purchase anything, I can find a good long term review of the reliability of the newer Mini Cooper S for those years (2014-2015).. They all seemed to bash the car for leaks, suspension failure, etc.. But I they aren't reliable reviews in my opinion, just bad experiences which can happen with any car.
One could tell, you don’t really HATE Ruby! :-D I’ve got one myself. Love it a lot! Need to black out belting and door handles though... So keep up the good work! Motor on!
Curious. I’m wondering If you pop the manual roof clip back in place and then continue to hold the roof up lever will that close both windows rather then having to put the windows up using the window switches. Give it a try and let me know. 👍
About the oil temperature, do you find oil comes up to temp about the same as water temp? My car has a water temp gauge but no oil temp..It makes sense to go easy until the car is fully warmed up.I find my car gets to operating temp in between 5 and 10 minutes of driving. How important do you think this is for ordinary, every day, non performance cars? I suppose you do not rev match either until the car is fully warmed up. Nice review of your likes and dislikes of Ruby Roadster. Cheers.
I've got no temperature gauges in this car so generally just guess when she is warm. It's only a small engine so I normally wait about 5 minutes before pushing on :-)
#1 - ok. #2 - add an OBD2 Bluetooth and an app to read temp. #3 - it's your car. #4 - user error and unmanaged expectations. #5 - replace the struts. Takes 20 minutes.
Nice video! I would add the openmeter to your list. BMW could have easily swapped the openmeter background image for a display of turbo boost, voltage, or engine temperature. Who cares how long the top has been down? :) It is a brilliant sports car otherwise!
LOL, that's is one of my favourite things. Totally useless but a lot of fun. There is an additional gauge that you could choose as an option that did that. I agree about it being a great little sports car though.
I am also driving a R59 Cooper and I really love it! But I can also relate to evry Point except the moving seat, my car doesn´t have this issue. thank you for the nice Video:)
Just found your site. I've enjoyed the ones I've watched so far. I'm a new mini owner, well new used mini owner. I've an R59 model S. I'm excited about driving it home next month! It's in Albuquerque New Mexico and it's coming to live with me in Alaska. It's about a 4 thousand mile drive. Any advice?
Wow...4,000 mile drive ! Living in the UK, that is hard to get your head around. The R59 has a pretty good size trunk and the seats are nice and comfy. The question is can you do it with the roof down ?!
I've done this trip many times. First time with a convertible and will try to burn the "fun meter" down! It's just like driving from Dover to Inverness....8 times.
Mine 2004 mini cooper s Love it Wife has a 2012 mini cooper roadster turbo iots Not as good as the 2004 supercharged engine.I like it best But love them both just 2004 seems tighter and smoother .
what made you think it is a good idea to handbrake turn on a narrow road / driving without traction control when its near enough snowing? I see a hedge coming
Just found you channel and just going through your vids I am thinking of getting a JCW coupe in the next month or so I have a couple of questions if you have the answers great Have you driven the latest JCW (I know not a coupe)with the 2 litre engine? If so is there much difference? Have you had many probs? Any new hates since this was made? Weird about the windows! Thanks
Hi Lee Yes I have driven the F series 2 litre JCW. I own the F54 JCW Clubman and have spent many hours in the hatch. Whilst both cars have a Mini feel the F series car are just that little bit bigger and feel more grown up. The Roadster and Coupe are actually more engaging and fun to drive. I had to work hard to come up with 5 things I don’t like about the car. I love it to bits. It know looks very different and is running a Stage 2 map with 270hp. There is a play list on my channel charting all the work I did to it. It is a car I will never sell 👍
Just bought my wife a 2015 mini roadster S convertible for her birthday. Has only 22k miles on it, single owner. Question, do you still own yours and have you had any major issues with the engine or transmission? Was trying to find out if the roadster has the same engine and drive train as a standard mini s. Since it was discontinued, just scares me about parts availability in the future for repairs. Enjoy your videos
I still have my Roadster (7 years now). It’s exactly the same engine and drive train as the R56 hatch so no worries about parts. Nearly an appreciating classic 😜 Tune in tonight to see my now modified 270 horsepower Roadster on track 👍
Our 2015mini jcw looks spot on to yours and we have loved it, until the active wing got stuck in the up position. Im unable to resolve this issue or find anyone with the same issue and now BMW wants $3,000 to fix... a fucking wing. It wouldnt bother me if it wasnt for the fact that the alarm for it WONT GO OFF, AND IT IT GOES UP IN VOLUME WHEN YOU TRY TOO TURN UP THE RADIO TO IGNOR IT!!! I will NEVER own another.
hey i was thinking of buying a mini cooper s coupe 2012 with 3245 mil on it ,its to little mile. it has a broken AC . what do you think about it is it a risk to buy it with broken ac? is it a good car ?
Speaking of no temperature gauge...I hate that fact that I have older, cheaper cars that all have a gauge that tells me what the temperature is 'Outside"...while my Mini does not. Huh? And why does my R56 have a super large speedometer in the center of the dash; totally inconvenient and possibly dangerous at high speeds; so my only real option is a postage stamp speedo in the lower center of the tachometer? Incredibly POOR DESIGN!!
i hate the totally useless sun-visors . when they are down you can only see a few feet in front of the car . then no one touch close on the passengers window
I have a few things coded from someone who knows how to do it with the BMW-Mini-Software & a Laptop plugged into the OBD2 connection on my Roadster - and now you can also one-touch up/down the passenger window ! 😉😎👍🏼
Hi pete agree re most of your points mate they get me on my R59 jcw too.. re your seat dont hink mine does that so maybe just yours, if your ever around windsor / maidenhead area drop me a direct message you can borrow mine to see if it does the same :-)
Lotus elise has the same issue with the seats. There is a solution on the market from Lotus to reduce the tolerance gap in the driver seats. I guess it coud work for you too. look at your instagram message
I have 5 things : It’s Way to small It’s a girls car so Dainty Not well engineered Too slowwww No we’re near enough power, torque Ok I’m a M5 fan/owner.
You should be banned from TH-cam because your comments are really really stupid. Stop trying to be like Jeremy Clarkson and get a proper job. Your comments are really not necessary. If that's all you've got for a nice little car, then the car must be perfect.

These problems are really that bad...it took me a while to think of 5 ! She makes me smile every day ;-)
I have a 2012 R58 JCW with black stripes, I'll share my 5 things but yes I love the car no matter what too.
- I hate how far back the seatbelts are (was able to fix that by installing Front Seat Belt Holder Extension Guides from AliExpress thankfully)
- Absolutely hate how the window will drop the instant you open your door. It makes the door feel like its falling off the hinge (All BMW's do it, it feels horrible)
- No coolant temp gauge or any gauge that shares the slightest information about your sports car like turbo boost etc (luckily I have a OBD2 P15 Head-up Display also from AliExpress)
- I hate that theres no space saver rim, runflats are horrible
- I fidget a lot in my seat, it's the most uncomfortable seat Ive been in if in it for long periods of time. I love how it hugs you, but the seat is rather stiff and not spongy.

A week ago on Friday I got my Abarth Rivale 695C and it only makes me smile as well 😂
I found i hard to find things I don't like 😜
about temp gauge u can download mini connect app and get the torque power n temp gauges on ur nav display
Thanks for the info :-)
Hi, Can you explain how to do this in more detail please?, Thanks Tony
don't complain brother, I only saw a happy man driving an amazing car !!! Go MINI Go!!!!
👍
Same bloody irritating clanking about with the passenger seatbelt on my Cooper S Paceman - jeez. Glad it just wasn't me getting annoyed. Great car, replaced now with an M140i. Keep up the great vids - and delighted with the growing fan base.
The latch would freak me, my roof goes down no hatch so yep that’s ridiculous, I also agree would prefer window control to the right of me rear window is a nightmare in winter 😱
Thanks for this - I'm just about to get a 2012 Cooper S Roadster and I've been going back and forward on it and it's good to hear 'the bad bits'.
All I can say is go for it. I love my car to bits. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it :-)
Bought it this weekend :D. Totally going with the 'it's not raining so the top is down' rule
Just love that exhaust note on Ruby!!! Want one!!
It's just a stock JCW :-)
Mrs got a r60 countryman cooper S which pops a little but that's another world! On used mini website now looking for one or the coupe.... 👍
What annoys me about mine is the audible beeb when I turn the car off and I've left the spoiler up. Quite aware thank you mini and I want it up too! :)
My 12 plate cooper s has the moving seat too. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who. Priced it.
Me too !
Point 3.. My R56 driver seat moves too! Not just the roadster!
Found your vids looking for the Dobbelsteens, saw them on another MINI Roadster at an event in the US and need a set for our Roadster! We love ours to bits too.

Also thought the image quality was super sharp 👍👍
Cheers Ian. Slowly getting there. I think I need to do more handbrake turns to hone my skills !
It's good to know that there is not much to hate about a MINI roadster. I really want one! Is the hardtop version still called a roadster?
Hi George. Brilliant little cars. Mine will be up for sale early in the New Year ;-)
The hard top version is called the Coupe :-)
@@PetrolPed are you buying a new MINI? I can't imagine you without a MINI! Your videos are so inspiring and exciting.
@@PetrolPed You said it was a car you would never sell, a year before this comment, what made you sell it after all?
Very first complaint! Agreed! That rattling belt strap is very annoying!
One additional thing, when the sun is out and the roof is down, you cannot see the turn signal. But I wouldn't to get rid of my roadster for anything
I have only one thing i hate about my R60 Cooper S -- OE Runflats. Results in a horrible jittery ride, even though they stick well, get rid of them as soon as you can.
Still on run flats and plan to change them when they need changing. Sadly they still have quite a bit of life in them !
Dude is smiling throughout the entire "things I hate about this car" video hahaha
Looks like you were stretching. I just got a '13 Roadster and I love her "to bits," too. Still thinking on a good name ...
The name will come to you 👍

I love my car and so far have had no issues at all. It is fab both on road and on track :-)
Awesome. I'm going to look at my first Mini ever this Saturday. I hope there are some Mini USA clubs in my area to join, thanks for the reply
There will be I'm sure. There are some great groups on Facebook too :-) Good Luck !
Isn't there an ECU option you can update to get the windows to go back up after closing the roof?!?! I think it can be done with Carly.
One could tell, you don’t really HATE Ruby! :-D
I’ve got one myself. Love it a lot!
Need to black out belting and door handles though...
So keep up the good work! Motor on!
Cheers Harald. I couldn't hate Ruby if I tried ;-)
I'm so happy I found your channel. Love your content.
Thanks Jack. I can see you are having a bit of a Ped Fest at the moment ! Glad to have you along for the ride :-)
Picking up new jcw clubman2017 tomorrow, hopefully nothing to hate!!
Malcolm Bale pics please!! Lol
Curious. I’m wondering If you pop the manual roof clip back in place and then continue to hold the roof up lever will that close both windows rather then having to put the windows up using the window switches. Give it a try and let me know. 👍

Can’t stop at the line at the lights, it’s hard to see the tragic lights change without putting your nose on the steering wheel! My seats solid

It says in the owner's manual you don't have to wait for that car to warm up you can just start it and drive it
It may well say that but I would never do that 😳
Just found you channel and just going through your vids
I am thinking of getting a JCW coupe in the next month or so
I have a couple of questions if you have the answers great
Have you driven the latest JCW (I know not a coupe)with the 2 litre engine? If so is there much difference?
Have you had many probs?
Any new hates since this was made?
Weird about the windows!
Thanks

Is the Cooper only version worth buying?
Yep 👍
I have an r56 s, my biggest gripe are the sun visors which are rubbish into the winter sun near the door corners. Ahhhhggggrrrr
Indeed 😡
If it's an N14 you will hate the engine also
Well there's no pop of bang with my 2009 mini cooper s. How do i tell then huh?
I think pops and bangs became a thing a little later 😬
i hate the totally useless sun-visors . when they are down you can only see a few feet in front of the car . then no one touch close on the passengers window
I have a few things coded from someone who knows how to do it with the BMW-Mini-Software & a Laptop plugged into the OBD2 connection on my Roadster - and now you can also one-touch up/down the passenger window ! 😉😎👍🏼

I love ur mini beanie I want one so bad
Check out Luxe Mini. They have an online shop !
On my BMW the windows go up a few seconds after the roof I just have to keep the button pressed in
Same in every convertible I've owned but not in this one !
I see a hedge coming for this car, why even try a handbrake turn in weather like that?
Peter I can't find 5 things wrong with my mini 🤔
I've got the same problem with my S4 !
i got the same with my seats on my r56, i guess it's normal but i do no really bother
Lotus elise has the same issue with the seats. There is a solution on the market from Lotus to reduce the tolerance gap in the driver seats. I guess it coud work for you too. look at your instagram message
Even Ferrari has rocking seats it is for buffering. My abarth 124 seats doesn’t move at all, my back is itchy from riding it
Hey can u play music through Bluetooth
Never got that to work !!
.................Number 6 It's not a Bugatti Chiron.
I can't buy a car and then make a review talking shit about the things that I don't like
I can :-)
Looks like cockroach that’s been stamped on.
I have 5 things :
It’s Way to small
It’s a girls car so Dainty
Not well engineered
Too slowwww
No we’re near enough power, torque
Ok I’m a M5 fan/owner.
I’d have you down a tight and twisty lane 😜
Different kettle of fish, I've taken on a couple of M3 's on the B lanes easily and kept with them for a short while on a straight @225BHP in Mini
Is the roof.down cuz you pooped your pants
definition of a knob head .. roof down but windows up.. 2nd.. winter clothes and roof down
No just sensible. Windows up reduces blistering. Pretty important when filming for audio. Winter clothes was because…err it was winter you 🛎️🔚 🙄
