That handbrake needs adjusting, need to mention that to the dealer to get that fixed ASAP. You should be able to have it all the way up with the armrest down.
I think all models, JCW included have a “overboost” function that allows I think a 10% torque increase fora short period. Really makes the smaller 3 cyl feel lively and plenty of power. You can add a aftermarket tuner that basically for the sensors and allows increased boost all the time… within the laws of physics. At some point the turbocharger runs out of capacity. Especially at high altitude.
The handbrake ( E brake) is way out of adjustment! It should not come that high up! It will work without interfering with the armrest if properly adjusted.
A Mini Cooper Sport was my 1st car @ Uni a rust bucket but I loved it, the price is a bit rich The gauge cluster such a good idea being a tall person (1.9M) seeing the fixed dashboard centre cluster always a challenge
I glad to se they didn’t change anything ecept the diffuser and grill from my 2019 jcw ! These cars are awesome! I’ve never used the green mode 🤣 pointless tbh I’m in sport from start up chafed that with programming! The other modes are just de tunes tbh
Very nice introduction, I have a question about the gear shift knob, why most knobs on this model I saw are short ones, yours are a tall one, did you modify it yourself ? Thanks
I see you complained about the tires, CINTURATO P7. But the JCW you reviewed on Aug wore P ZERO. I assume that was the very same car since they have the same tag, right? So how come this time it wears the worse tires?
Except on a super steep hill you don’t need to pull the parking brake up that far. No need to kill it, you’re just stretching the cables. 4 clicks is fine and the armrest can stay in place and the shifter remains at a useable height. You just haven’t stop and consider how the german designers expected it to be used, not what lazy American habits you might have. 😅
Nice till the paint rubs off the door frames it's a design defect of the F56 BMW say is the fault of an external source is rough door seal rubber wears away the paint check the Mini forums before you buy
@@cryptoluv4583 i mean I have both and the JcW is a great car and the Mrs mainly drives it but in no way shape or form would I say it’s quicker, better interior or better refinement than a GTI
In 2019 I bought a Kia stinger gt1 for 40,500 after Kia and dealer discounts. I traded a mini and omg night and day a million times better car. Point is for 40k you are not getting much car for the money
@@kevinwatson9378 funnily enough, after now owning a Mini JCW for almost 4 months, I haven't once had an issue with the handbrake fouling the armrest that a lot of these reviewers seem to complain about. All my other cars have e-brakes though. I don't really have a preference though as my days of handbrake turns/skids are way behind me.

13:47 My normal Cooper 2022 (136hp) also does this "sudden boost" going from 1st into 2nd gear, this car is just amazing!

One of the better JCW reviews out there. Thank you!!
Just ordered one in nanuq white, JCW stripes and ran leather interior it looks amazing!
Awesome!
10:19 if you selected sport-mode, you would have gotten the backfire popping during this revving.

Ayyy! I've got those sandals too! Hiked some tough trails with them too
Now Ben this is more of my speed here 😊 great review 👍this is one of my dream cars 🏎️
Don't set your standards so low my friend.

It's virtually impossible to have more fun on the used car market in 2023.
I love it I want one!
The answer is: yes!

Rebel green with WHITE stripes/roof master race ;)
I just got my mini cooper S 2022, awesome

Um, YES, the popping sounds😍

So how come this time it wears the worse tires?
Michelien PS4s are recommend

love this bro
Awesome car. JCW is the best. 👌🏻
Hello Ben, Can you also please review the Mini JCW Automatic. Thank you in advance ❤
Do you just prefer the look without the Headup Display? Figured you'd have showed that off a bit! Still a good video though, thanks for this.
Looks good, hopefully same as uk version
I almost got a mini once but ended up getting a Focus RS instead
And I just sold my focus rs LOL
@@BenHardyCars I beat it was fun car why you sell it?
Fund the bronco
I'm sorry...
I did the same, still having fun everyday with the Focus RS, what a car!

Color name? Or code
God I miss my JCW….
Rims are from Jeep Renegade
Great sports car for the buck
Very nice car BUT I had one and super expensive to repair. Had a leaking coolant tank and turbo oil line…cost me almost $2,000 to repair at dealer.
Thats an r56 though i bet
You didn't answer the question of the video title.
I wouldn’t say better. But definitely on a par! 😍
I’d say it’s far superior to a Honda or VW, really not even comparable.

@@mattsamuels3607 the jcw slaps a gti in a drag race
@@Naspirated I’ve literally rolling raced them both with my girlfriend and I promise you it doesn’t
Of course it’s better lol
Sandals with socks 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s is a cute car
Hey Ben, can you review the Automatic as well please!!!
Sandals with socks? Really?otherwise good video
Sad that there’s so much FAKE grills.
Almost nothing is fake. It has several real intakes and ducts. The least fake of any car aside from GR Corolla

That’s how I would feel if I bought a Kia.. lmao Kia no thanks man lmao Kia lmao🤣🤣🤣😂😂
kia is ew
True perfection! My ultimate, super sexy carrrrr!
Mini will no longer be taking orders for cars with manual transmission!
nicereveiw stay away from these demons
If a car ever needed an electronic parking brake, this is it.
Is the armrest removable?
No car ever needs a electric parking break.. manual hand brakes are fun, electric button is just boring

Stop smoking crack
Hairy legs, wool socks and sandals - how sexy…..🥴
Yes! 🤩
It's not even close to a CTR or Golf R. Not even close.
It’s better hahah
I raced a stage 1 golf r against my bolt on jcw and beat is 5 vs 3
😂😂 you’re right.. they are waaaaaay back behind the MINI .. in fact they’ve never even got off the start line 😂😂💕💕
dude.....socks and sandals?? nearly clicked skip to next vid right there and then
Get with the times pal, we’re not in the 90’s anymore
Socks and sandals, seek help immediately.
