Nice Leatherman Jay and great review as always. Very in-depth review and surprisingly the Mini is spacious. The dash being a panel seems to be the trend now days with luxury vehicles. What happens when it breaks? What is the cost for replacement. My Samsung TV only lasted 3 years so any screen on cars not going to last a decade!
We’re in the infancy of huge screens (Volvo, Subaru Outback, Hyundai Elantra) so the durability is riddled with question marks. I think we’ll have answers in 3-5 years once the longevity factor kicks in. Also, car screens are subject to extreme temperatures, so that’ll be a key performance indicator for durability.
@@Modern.Motoring good point about the extreme temperature test. I hate to see glass half full but I can’t resist saying that “they don’t make them the way they used to”. Every automakers are giving into the what generation Z wants in their vehicles. What about baby boomers and generation X? I am in my 40s, I don’t want to look another screen in my car after spending 10+ hours working on a laptop. How about just a good old analog gauges like the way it was in the good old days...😂
@@Thankyou_3 I’m 43 and feel the same way. I’m all for advancement in tech but the presence of heavily used hard touch buttons (much like the beloved volume button) should always be present.
@@Modern.Motoring I can totally relate to right size volume knob, I recently purchased a pre-owned 5th gen 4RUNNER and love every bit of functionality on this vehicle...from volume knob to HVAC controls. I turn off the screen on this ancient infotainment system. I actually turn off the screen...don’t even want to look at it...tired of looking at screens...the tune still play in the background. I cruise when driving the 4RUNNER and in no rush at this point of season in life... I get to my destination 5 minutes slower than any other sports sedan...I just leave earlier. 😂...By the way, it was 4 years of planning to get the 4RUNNER and after watching your 4Runner video review, totally gave in and pulled the trigger few weeks ago.
Good run down, like the personal touch of this reviewer. Impressions important part of a review as viewers want to know what the opinions are to compare with other sources when considering buying. Q: dies Lyons = Ikea up there??
Hi Hunter, Thanks for the supportive words - I appreciate it. Leons Furniture store doesn't sell nearly as much flat-packed furniture as Ikea does so it's easier to do a trip to Ikea and bring home more.

Now, I can't unsee the rear indicators facing the wrong way. Although it was meant to signify the Union Jack.
Well done Jay. I was waiting for this one. You are correct. What a ton of space back there. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thank you for the consistent support, my friend - I truly do appreciate you!
Awesome review Jay!
I see the UK flag within the two tail lights
Great review 👍
Love the styling
This is one really nice looking Mini.
Tile lights look like the flag
Is the sage green a blue or a green?
Awesome video !

Tailights refer to the British flag.
Yup thanks
