What you said about feeling in a safe That's exactly what blew me away too, the body and chassis feel so solid and premium Glued to the ground too yet agile
People even don´t see them... one of the best and fun drivers car.. not practical but fun and want to drive.. not a citroin Cactus c3 a car for hell look like a schoolbus.. this MINI is superb.. with the best engine 1.5T 3 cyl ,, not even Polo sport comes close to the power.
looking at one of these as my first car. 22k on it for £8.8k with the chilli pack heated seats and the nicer rims. Looking at around £100 a month on hp after deposit. So going to be a well worth it car. Thanks for the review really helping me to be informed more before I buy mine. Altho your estimate of 14k for a low milage 2015 was awfully high. they tend to go for more around 8-10k atm.
I am looking at 2016 of the same model you have, its 110K kms. How is this car in terms of maintenance ?. I am getting it for $9500 CDN. Should I consider checking it out?.
Hand on heart. I take this to the garage to do anythin! But so far she hasn't needed anything! I would maybe give it a look over..9.5k isn't pocket money so best check your Investment before committing
Hi mate. You have mentioned that you are achieving 60mpg in this 1.5 petrol. Is it realistic consumption and do you have the drive modes in your car? Good review by the way :)
I've managed to get just shy of 60 mpg (59.2) the official stats say 60. You do have to drive very sensibly though. And it helps if you have some 40 mph roads where you can coast for a few minutes haha realistically we get in the early 50s. And in the cooper with the pepper pack you don't get driving modes sadly
Hi. Thank you for your reply. One more question. What is the consumption if you drive more enthusiastically, but no crazy fast. I am wondering if I should buy MC or MCS. Thanks.
@@piotrtadajewski47 hmmm... driving at fun speeds I would say in the low 40s. Have you driven both yet? The cooper in the 5 door genuinely is great to drive and feels quick to me. But if you want even more power the S might be your choice. But tax will be higher, and all the usual price increases
Smart move! Love that car. So much fun. Had ours three years , it's not as practical as some others but it's worth it for the quirkier looks and fun drive!
Hey Theo. Right rear legroom is fine. Especially for shorter journeys Getting in and out is a pig. My daughter in a massive car seat goes in fine though. But the fun is to be had in the drive. Even now 3 years on, I think it Is a fab car to drive. In that engine and trim !
@@TwoChapsMotoring thank you for such. Quick response! I was toying with getting a clubman! So you wouldnt have wanted one with a chilli pack? Also how is boot room?? I'm about 5 ft 11 and pretty broad so hope I fit haha
@@theowilson1447 actually. We thought about going down the countryman route instead which is their small estate version. And if I had the choice now, I'd probably go for that but would want to drive one first ! Yes absolutely wanted the chilli pack, I wanted the best infotainment system I could afford !! 5,11 you'll be fine son!
@@TwoChapsMotoring haha brilliant! Well i can't wait to get one. So no issues with space in the boot?? Well I'd be tempted by the chilli pack. I read somewhere the seats weren't very supportive??

Great review, thanks. Hoping to get one! Glad the auto's decent as the wife wants that. Character and fun.. That'll do.

100 per month for HP that is a STEAL! the car is is 6 years old and I still love it to pieces
@@TwoChapsMotoring yeah I am paying 4k on deposit tho. Amazingly for a first time driver my insurance was like £827.68 quoted no black box
Bruh the one I'm looking at is 8700 but it's 53k on it and is 2016. You seemed to get a good deal
I'm looking at one for my first car but I hear things about reliability and cost of parts being a bit spotty
To be fair, the minis from 2014 onwards are much more reliable than previous models
What is the fuel capacity for a min one cooper?
I have the same car2016 can I upgrade the navigation system with bmw
Great guy
Knows his onions and funny with it !!!
Thanks mate !
Great Review ! what watch do you wear ?
Awesome glad you like. This one is a Jack Heuer Carrera Calibre 15
why have you stopped uploading videos

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! :)
Wonderful Awesome Car. Mini One 1.2 L Auto 5 door
How's the maintenance cost for this Mini?
About average really. 250 for interim service and over 400 for full service at a main dealer.

@@TwoChapsMotoring I get 24 mpg driving very spiritedly haha
Well... i mean. Lifes too short right to worry too much about mpg hahaha
Hi Tow Chaps! How long have you had this mini? Would you go for automatic over manual given the choice again?
Aitomstic still I think. She's up for sale now as we just pxd for a new car!
@@TwoChapsMotoring Thanks, I've gone for an automatic. Due to be delivered Friday.

Hi Two Chaps, I am looking at a 5 door cooper as my next car, do you mind the limited rear legroom? Plus how good are they to drive??

Boot space is OK. We managed to get a pushchair in their ok. I get about 3 full bag for life's worth of shopping across the bottom
@@TwoChapsMotoring haha brilliant! Well i can't wait to get one. So no issues with space in the boot?? Well I'd be tempted by the chilli pack. I read somewhere the seats weren't very supportive??
Very good!
Cheers JJ! Miss you buddy!
I have the mini 2015, sports version
I stopped watching when you said it’s a turbo . 1.25mins lol reliability and running costs comes from simplicity
Lol
