LCI MINI JCW REVIEW | WHY I PREFER THE JCW OVER THE FIESTA ST
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2021
- I can safely say that I had a lot of fun with this car over the weekend - it definitely handles like a go kart and I would happily own one of these. What would you rather... The JCW Mini or the Fiesta ST? Let me know in the comments!
Stats include a 0-60 in 6.1 seconds, 228bhp and 236 lb ft of torque. A 2.0 litre, 4 cylinder, twin-turbo charged engine.

Fantastic video. just a key point the power plant isn’t twin turbo it’s twinscroll so still a single turbo in these fantastic hatchbacks.
Thank you for watching! Perfectly pointed out - thanks ☺️
This video just showed that you have a natural talent to make this very good review.
It's this kind of content that makes the difference, especially when you give that angelical touch. Keep that good work 👌
Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate the support!
Just bought a car exactly like this, same colour, same interior trim, same alloys, HK also, and a 2020 🙂 Lovely car. Stepping up from my 2018 Cooper S F56, which i did a couple of 3 month trips round the Alps in over the last two years 🙂 Really looking forward to taking the JCW to the Alps next ski season 🙂
Such a polished review. Excellent. Subscribed. :)
Such a great video lovely!! ☺️ The JCW is definitely growing on me but wait till you drive my ST!! 😉🧡 xxx
Ahhh let me get behind the wheel and see for myself 👀 thanks for watching 🥰❤️
Great review! I’ve had several Minis the are super fun!Wy don’t you have more followers!? You are amazing!
Thanks for watching! I couldn’t agree more, I definitely couldn’t stop smiling whilst behind the wheel of this thing 🚀
Great video, perfectly judged content - informative and easy to watch 👍🏻
Thank you for watching! 😁
Great review you hit it just right. I had JCW hatch and lived it. The 231 is spot on as you say but had to change it for the JCW Clubman 306. That is so much more of a beast. You are right, the new digital display just is the icing on the cake.
Thank you for watching! 😁 I’m very intrigued to see the difference in power from the JCW to the 306hp Clubman, I bet it’s so much fun to drive. Hopefully I’ll get my hands on one soon!
I prefer lower HP, means you can rev it longer without ticket and savour the sound of turbo. Also anything 2020+ got it exhaust tunned down alot which is a huge shame... 2018-2019 were just the bests
100% the JCW Grace, obviously ;) another superb video!!
Absolutely has to win doesn’t it? Thanks for watching Harry!
Brilliant review. Nice and down to earth.
Thank you so much!
Great video Grace. I love the colour!💙💙
Thank you! Yes I think the blue compliments the features of the JCW very nicely 😍
Really good review, nice roads for a drive in a mini 😊
Looking fantastic as usual and the car is amazing 👏
Thank you very much for watching!
@@gracedavies5716 When will you be doing BMW X5 45E Msport? The eco friendly 4X4!
@@shanjanusman9974 as soon as I can get my hands on one!
Nice review! I did pick between the ST and the F56 Mini and test drove them both. The Fiesta ST has a tighter more driver engagement chassis so if you do a lot of track driving it might be the better pick, in literary all other aspects I prefer the F56. Both mod well but the 2 litre B58 F56 CooperS/JCW sounds so much better, I also significantly prefer the ergonomics and interior materials/design in the Mini, shifting action is much better as well. Very happy with my pick but the ST is also a great hatch!
Just discovered your channel! Great review, as I'm actually trying to decide between the Fiesta ST vs Mini Cooper JCW
Mini .Out 🤘
Another great review 🤩
I’d definitely go for the JCW, I love the design and driving style of a MINI!
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you agree with me on the Mini 🚀
i guess I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new series online?
keep it up with the comments...you'll get her number one day!
jcw mini for me great review Grace once again keep it up
Thank you for watching!
It's a beautiful car, I'm about to get mine, Idk if to get the 2021 or wait a few months for the 2022 version to arrive in my country though. Thanks for the review!
Thank you so much for watching! What country are you from if you don’t mind me asking?
Nearly bought a 2018 Cooper S today, saw a JCW beside it and paid a little more for it, glad I did. Only complaint I can think of is the Lassie presenting this vid wasn't included with it. Can't have everything, thanks for the review lovely lovely.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video thanks
You’re welcome ☺️
Just ordered my 5th mini I've had them all, I changed to a Mercedes coupe but I always find my way back to mini. Ordered a 2021 countryman Cooper s in sage green with all the extras. Roll on June 😍 Great video host is just a stunning as the car wow.
Glad to hear you’re a Mini fan like me. Enjoy your new car 🤩 and thank you for watching!
I own a Fiesta st200 I really should own a mini since I’m called John Cooper. 😆 Great review! 💙
Fiesta ST for me Grace, but nice quality review. Well done!
Thank you for watching! 😁
Love the Mini reviews! Wondering what car/cars that you own?
Thank you! I currently run a BMW 116d company car ☺️
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. I prefer the MINI JCW as well
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 😁
Bit late to the party 😂 but nice review, just bought my wife one and she absolutely loves it!! 🙌🎉
Brilliant video Grace so well presented and many a true word spoken.
For me the Fiesta ST is a better drivers car but yep absolutely as you said the Mini is better inside and out looks wise for sure.
A cracking car none the less!
Thank you for watching! I think I’m going to have to get behind the wheel of a new ST and put them head to head properly 👀
@@gracedavies5716 I’ll drive the ST and you drive the mini then we’ll do a swap! Boom there’s a colab right there haha! 🙌
@@PeakPerformanceReviews that sounds like a mega collab 🤔I like your thinking!
I’ve owed both the ST3 is a pile of cheap shite , poor build quality , lousy paint work and rattles it tits off .. Couldn’t wait to off load it and at the end of the day it’s a 1.5 engine and it shows at higher speeds ….
I love my JCW - which I’ve had remapped to 280bhp/430nm, AC Schnitzer springs, OZ Ultraleggera Wheels with Michelin PS4. It totally transforms an already great car!
Who remapped it? How long has it been remapped for? Just wondering if its safe and reliable to do these engines thanks
@@tonyjames4942 I've had it remapped for 1 year now - everything seems fine so far **touch wood***. I've informed 300bhp is just about the reliable limit for the JCW.
It takes the fun factor up another level. Definitely recommended. Got it done by DMS.
@@adamwest5625 excellent thanks for the info must be an amazing drive now 👍
@@adamwest5625 incorrect they are detuned as hell and same chassis as a 1 series, these motors with correct mods can achieve 400+ Bigger turbo, intake, intercooler, exhaust the car is at 3290-350whp
@@cleysoptique8749 Think he meant stock with only a tune, no major moding
That's cute! And I like the MINI as well
Looking absolutely lovely . Car is alright .
😂 thanks for watching!
I had 2 Mini's so far in my life...a 2009 Mini Cooper S and then traded up to the 2013 JCW in Silver White Metallic...and RED everything else. 213 BHP... 6 speed! I always wanted a VW GOLF R but can't if it has no Sunroof...although it has 282 BHP and 4Motion...if you need AWD then Mini offered the Paceman, and my wife was not having that as the back seat was WAY too uncomfortable as she loves to be in the back with our pooch... so Pooch Ruled that one out.
Nice review 👍
Biased but obviously I say mini all the way 😂😍⚡️ you look amazing and so was this video ⚡️👌
I wouldn’t expect anything less! Thank you for watching gorgeous 💗
I have the JCW Countryman Cooper S and love it! 2ltr
Great car 👌🏼
Agreed 🤓
I have a manual 2016 JCW with the wide screen and mini yours leather seats. Honestly the best bang for buck. Remove the resonator with a straight pipe and the pops and bangs are like gun fire 🔥
Sounds like you’ve done the best thing! The newer Minis do lack the pops and bangs 🙃
@@gracedavies5716 gutting 😭 those new petrol particulate filters Europe made us have along with soft limiters are the worst things about new cars 😂
Good car 🚙 tanks my sister
I own a F56 JCW, I love it. Its my favourite car to date. It literally has S3 rolling straight line performance off the shelf. I've swapped the factory run flats for Michellin Pilot Sport 5s and it has endless grip now. If you fancy a stage 1 tune that will take you to 300bhp in a 1200kg car 😊. Love your reviews!
Ive done the same PS5 and stage 1 remap shocked a few people last year at Nurburing
Do you get much torque steer with the stage 1 tune? I'd imagine you would want a mechanical LSD with that extra power.
the mini f55 or f56 is shit !
i have 3 mini cooper sd f55 and f56 2015 and 2016 It's a hard and noisy car inside....on the bad roads this car sucks!
@AlexRodriguez-ux3nc think you bought the wrong car bro 😄. Get an Avensis if you want something quiet and comfy.
@@theitalianjob1372 I know what I bought...but watching videos like this one, saying good things about the quality of the interior is not like that!
I've owned many cars and one of them was a '93 Escort cosworth with H&R suspensions it was much more comfortable and had no interior noises!
The mini F5... has a lot of parasitic noises! The car is good for someone who lives in an area with a good tarred road!
Great content, I feel there’s a big future ahead of you! Could you do a comparison video of the M135i and Clubman JCW? I’m torn between the two...
For what it's worth, I looked at the same 2 cars along with a few others (Golf R, S3, A35, etc.). Needless to say, there's a Clubman JCW sat outside - it's awesome
@@neilmarshall7071 I didn`t even bother looking at the others....Clubman ALL4 306 is as you say Awesome in all respects...Apart from keeping the rear end clean..Mini really needs to offer rear.. made to measure mudflaps.
Looking great. And the fiesta can not beat this cooper s so the JCW will hammer it.
My big turbo fiesta begs to differ 😁
Well done I just discovered your channel I ama new Subscriber hugs from Vancouver Island Canada
Thank you for subscribing!
Great review, thank you. What are your thoughts on the Countryman JCW?
Thanks for watching! I’m yet to try out the Countryman, would that be a review you’d potentially like to see?
@@gracedavies5716 yes that would be much appreciated, thank you. I’m considering purchasing one. I’d appreciate your thoughts on whether to get the JCW Sports seats or the normal Sports seats (as some reviewers have panned the JCW seats while others seem to like them). My local Mini dealership does not have a Countryman JCW on the lot so it is not possible to compare them myself. Thank you again and best wishes on the growth of your channel.
I used to have jcw mini 2017 now I change to jcw clubman 2021 try it you will love it 4Aw 306 Hp
Wow....didn`t even notice the car...........................Well i did a little....good review.
Best colour ..!
This or black 😉
Hiya what's the better car for the road a JCW or the GP3 ?
Is JCW comfortable enough for practical daily use?
Gorgeous video, gorgeous car, gorgeous lady , nice start to a Tuesday morning
Thank you for watching! Have a great day 😁
Thank you Grace, you too
ST or JCW ?. Having owned both I agree the ST possibly has it on the driving but the JCW wins on everything else, styling, kit, engine sounds, Harmon X Kardon sound system. I have the pro exhaust on mine. Overall the whole package on the JCW makes it the winner for me.
I agree, as a whole package the JCW is better - I’m pleased you share the same opinion. I think the Pro Exhausts are impressive 👏🏼
A few mods on the fiesta and all of that changes. 320whp in my FiST, full 3” exhaust with a dyno tune. Turns the car into a different beast.
More power of much better than an ST
I’m on to my sixth Mini I think I may have a problem 😉
Do you think you'll ever review any other cars other than BMW Mini? GR Yaris?
I would love to review a variety of car brands. At the moment due to lockdown is a little tricky, I also need to figure out how to get my foot in the door with other dealers. Fingers crossed for some variety this year! 🤞🏼
A really nicely put together video, good balance between fact and opinion by an absolutely stunning young lady. You have style by the bucketload , I hope you get enough followers. More of the same please I just hope your not a bit late on the scene.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Hopefully I am not too late to the scene, I put off UA-cam for a couple years because of nerves, let’s see where this takes me! 🤞🏼 Thank you again for your kind words.
@@gracedavies5716 There are a few girls doing car reviews but you have a soft human element often missing from others and you clearly know your stuff on BMW / Mini you need to do the same with other brands and try and get on some of the car launches. You have a better balance than most of the others. Will your employers encourage you if you move away from your franchise ? Now watched a few of your other vids, only do videos where you speak you are clearly better than you think you are. Good Luck. The Mini review is the best, use that as the way to move forward. How about reviewing the new M3/4 in a similar style.
@@geoff39gl I would love to get my hands on other brands and produce videos in a similar way, I think my biggest hurdle is being able to work with other brands as my channel is quite small at the moment. As this is a hobby that I do alongside my full time job, it is slightly easier to create videos on BMW/Mini, but hopefully a few polite emails and I may be able to get some diversity on the channel. I’d like to think my videos are getting better each time, with sound, equipment and editing improvements etc, so fingers crossed that I can keep doing what I love. Thank you again for your comments.
Great information on the car. My only wish is that the music was at the same level as the talking.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback ☺️
Another great review 👌. Mini wins hands down, can’t beat German engineering.
Fiesta looks like a transit connect van inside 🤮. Also it’s the car you see at a maccies car meet with 16 year old girls in back 😂
Thank you for watching another video ☺️ haha, love the McDonald’s reference 🥴😂 I do have some friends with Fiesta STs which are pretty cool, I definitely need to give one a proper drive and see for myself. But for now, it’s the Mini for me 👀
Nossa que loirinha top colocaram fazer comercial do mini cooper foi bem pensado parabéns 👍
Them curves, that leather.... apparently there was a car review somewhere
This girl is going places. Rebecca Jackson in the making
Oh wow! 😳 such a compliment. Thank you so much.
Jez could you not get a proper one , a manual gear box or do they only come as automatic .
I was just lent the car for the weekend. You can get a manual and in the video I mentioned how the manual does rev matching etc.
@@gracedavies5716 Sorry I turned off when I saw it was automatic. Thanks for reply and hopefully you get the manual to compare.
5:50
Are you sure it's a twin turbo charged engine?
As far as my knowledge extends, its a twin-power turbo charged engine. Meaning it has one turbo that Mini happens to called it a twin-power turbo. A single turbo called a twin-power turbo.
Was there a car I didn't notice😊
Should have more subscribers than this, keep going
Thank you so much ☺️
That’s a lovely car but I’m struggling to keep my eyes on it.
The number of views this video has, compared to others here clearly shows that short skirts do miracles xD
😆😆😆
Actually it’s a flipping good review that kept me here.
If you watch closer, there is a mini in the video 😅
🫣😆
Car? What car?
Fiesta ST’s are for tracksuit wearing CHAVS. They’ll migrate onto the Golf R then.
Well said 😂😂😂
Yeah that was alright
Don’t forget to subscribe for more alright content 😁👍🏼
@@gracedavies5716 stop begging 😄
46 mpg is great for those who don't fill their tanks 😂
Who doesn’t fill their tanks...😳🥴
I didn't think the side view mirrors are supposed to support your body weight
My body weight isn’t being supported by them but thanks for your concern x
咱们人不说暗话，我进来就是看黑丝的！嘿嘿！！！
Love those Kentucky fried chicken legs.
Lol
It's not a twin turbo ....it's a twinpower which in bmw terms means twin scroll. Meaning the housing. Other than that nice review
Yes, my mistake 🥲 thank you!
Sorry, you were saying.......just looking at those killer legs...LOL....I like the blue color bytheway....
😂 thanks for watching! I like the blue too 🚙
Wait!! Was their a car in this video?
🤣 I thought I gave the JCW pretty good air time? 🥲
You prefer it because it's just a better car lol
Absolutely 🤩
I prefer MINI as Ford's warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on.
If money is not an issue, the MINI is definitely superior to the Ford
Agreed 🤓
Forget the Ford take the jcw in a manual an the cute lady go mini
Woo! Thanks for watching!
I like the mini but I love you 😍😍😍 stunning lady 😍❤️😍
The next 5th gear presenter ,,
A girl can dream! 😅
What a beautiful girly Girl😊
Irgendwie hab ich keinen Augen für den Mini gehabt....😅
u are sooo cute!~!
NICE LEGS
What's happened to your eyebrow..xx
What do you mean?
Mini Coopers are chick magnets.
shh don't lie the fiesta is better
🤔🤔🤔
Fiesta ST is nowhere near the JCW!
You are much prettier than the car👌
Why not wash the car before you shoot the video
Because I was driving it
Well thats easy, a Fiesta is dull, boring and ugly
She can say Throttle and The, but cant pronounce words like three(free), nothing(nuffing), with(wiv), think(fink) 🤔
And your point is?
Good review, thanks. However, unlike you, I absolutely hate the Union Jack rear light clusters. And it's not because the Mini is actually a German car (flags = false advertising?) It's because after years of right-wing politicians wrapping themselves in the flag, I don't want anyone thinking I might be a neo-fascist!
Makes me glad to own a mini in America... People think I'm a goofy leftist because I'm in a small silly European car.
They're right about the leftist bit, but let's leave the Mini out of it, eh?
Last vehicle was a Caddy, for goodness' sake 🤣
The mini so much nicer than the Ford premium interior looks so much cooler to if the lady comes with it I will take 6
