    Really enjoying your Mini videos, even though I'm late to the party after getting a Mini SE a few weeks ago. My annoyances with the car are: 1. I don't like the throttle/accelerator response in any of the modes apart from Race mode. In the other modes, the accelerator feels unresponsive or not immediate enough for my liking. But I don't use the car in Race mode very often because the steering becomes unnecessarily heavy. 2. I don't like that the 'iDrive' controller (or 'jog wheel') has to be turned anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) to go down the menu options. It seems really counter-intuitive. Normally you advance things by going clockwise, IMO. Apart from these things (mainly point number 1), I absolutely love the Mini SE!

    I know this video has been out already for a while, but I just wanted to say a short thank you for all those videos you've uploaded about your Cooper SE. Those really influenced my decision to buy a used one myself. Now I just rewatched this particular video and noticed that window chirping in particular. I fixed mine by applying some rubber care on the door sealings. It's been almost two months now without any chirping and the rubber seals look much fresher too!

    Is this car good for gig work? I deliver grocery most times for 3 customers at a time.. fitting 3 bags of grocery is a joke correct ? I am looking at a cooper s online but does not detail how much room and are they good on gas or is that just a sales pitch. questions may sound odd but i am being realistic. I already know they are a wallet diver on repairs but i am a proficient enough mechanic that that does not impede me from buying one. On the other hand poor gas mileage, transmission failures and not enough room to put at least 10 bags of real grocery would.

    • @minise-focus
      @minise-focus 7 місяців тому

      I cannot comment on gas mileage or reliability for a Cooper S since my Mini SE is full electric - a completely different animal. One which has cost me a couple tire rotations in over 3 years of ownership - an no other maintenance expenses so far. As for fitting groceries for deliveries, if you have the back seats folded down, it would handle a lot of grocery bags. With the back seats up, that is not a joke - the space behind the rear seats is tiny.

    Got my new Mini Cooper SE 2023 few days ago and your calculator definitely comes in handy!! Thank you. Got a question though, some times I get some 'crazy numbers', like.. ** Total Range (From 77% charge): 228.53 Km ** Total Range (From 100% charge): 296.803 Km.. they look perfect, but would that be the case?

    • @minise-focus
      @minise-focus Рік тому

      No - that does not seem right. I would expect 225 - 240 km under ideal driving conditions. If you want - share your numbers the next time you get a weird result like that. (start-batt, end-batt, km driven). I might need to check the script to make sure there isn't a problem in the calculations.

    So enice to see your Mini has a name; Fiona. My F56 Cooper S petrol is named the Black Panther, after the large cat not the Marvel creation and my incoming F56 SE is already named Elvira. My red Mini convertible is called Jubilee after we decorated it with Union Jack flags for Queen Elizabeths Platinum Jubilee but on the day, we had terrible rain. An 18 hour deluge of rain when the event was to be held next to a river on what was the areas flood zone and it was cancelled so we decided to leave the union jacks on the car...and especially when Queen Elizabeth passed away. We certainly aren't celebrating her gormless bumpkin of a son and his former mistress taking the throne. Jubilee celebrates the reign of Elizabeth II.

      The clearance in the back is around 24" (right at the opening) to 28" (after clearing the hatch) - so I would say yes, you could wrestle a single tire in that space.
