So we took away, the exhaust exhaust, the standard paddle shifters, the illuminated vanity mirrors, the styling of the interior door trim and replaced with Korean style door cards, replaced the seats with these deck chair flat style seats, ruined the back end of the exterior completely and took away a physical instrument binacle. Enjoy your new Mini sir/madam, where less costs more
Like the outside not the inside
Inside is.. interesting for sure
You got the Iconic trim in the classic style. The Iconic trim with the favored style has standard power seats, and a storage box in center console.
no manual transmission option for a mini cooper? absolute bullocks mate, i don't give a toss about the different drive modes.
Apparently they’re not going to offer one..
They aren’t actually going to make many more if any… everyone would rather drive an automatic kinda sad tbh
I used to be a hardcore MINI fan/owner. Ive owned 5 of them (3 first gen, 1 second gen, and one classic). The first gen new MINI (02-06) had it all right. The look, the driving dynamics, the engine sound, etc…..it was perfect. Then with each successive generation the car has become more and more bloated and less attractive to the point that I have pretty much zero interest in them now. BMW really had a great recipe 20 years ago when MINI came back….you saw them everywhere. Nowadays, I hardly ever see a MINI, and if I do, it’s an older one. I’m sure it also has to do with consumer preference nowadays which leans towards huge SUVs and pickups. Just sad to me seeing this brand kind of lose its way over the years.
Great review as always, btw.
Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head. Kinda why Ford killed all their sedans and Chevy did too. It’s sad because I don’t want to HAVE TO drive a big, bulbous SUV. A lot of brands have lost their way. Take BMW for example with their new M5 - it’s over 1,000 lbs more than the previous gen M5! Insanity!
Agree! I own two R53s and don't see myself ever getting one of the new cars. The lack of a manual option is a dealbreaker!
I actually am a new buyer and the new ones the best iteration yet. Enough I'm strongly considering it. Plus the reliabilty has gotten better.
@@dg7438 You know, I actually went to the dealer to see one in person last week and the car looks better in person. Still not a huge fan of the rear tails, but I do like the way that the design has been cleaned up. The outgoing model is quite busy inside and out. You also make a good point about reliability…..gen 1 cars always needed suspension bushings, engine mounts, strut mounts, had body rust, etc. Gen 2 cars needed repeated timing chain work. As time goes on, reliability certainly has improved. I do still miss the rawness of the gen 1 cars, though, for sure.
Two doors are so rare now. Few left. Great to see them still making one!
Right.. sad to see
It’s still mainly two doors in Europe and the UK.

I know a guy that drives a mini s and if you ride with him his chocolate lab sits right behind you doesn't bark but growls in you ear what a trip. Great review. Thanks. Peace bro
🤣🤣that’s funny
Excellent job Kenny.
I have friends who had a Mini Cooper S who were hit head on by a Ford F250. The driver had a fractured collar bone and his wife and daughter walked away with bumps and bruises. These cars are built rock solid.
Impressive.. Glad to hear they were okay
I dont think I've ever seen a round LCD screen anywhere, it definitely has character.
Right. Kinda cool, but interesting
Wife’s 2009 S finally died and we got her the 2025 S in Ocean Spray Green. She’s still figuring out all the new tech but likes it. She says it’s not as quick as her 2009. Surprised that there is no gear shifter, paddle shifters or visible exhaust. BMW made a conscious styling decision to move away from the weekend racer look to future tech look. I like it just different.
It's very boring looking now
Ugh! What happened to the 09? I have a 10 thats at the dealer now. Theyre not sure. Im kinda scared to get it back. With this price i need a little longer to save, interest rates are ridic. Im not too sold on the interior of the 25. Idont wanna play on the comp while driving. I like knobs and buttons. And a shifter. I do love the outside and i love oceanside blue! I cant wait to see one on the road, ill be waving frantically, giving the happy thumbs up, staring! Lol.
"For 2025, we removed the exhaust."
Summer Weather. Good review. Very relaxed.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Looking forward to the electric version. No paddles on the S model seems ridiculous
Right!
Paddles are on the cooper s sport
@@banner4141 is that even a thing.... What are you talking about
@@Themayseffect ua-cam.com/video/AUMigwVL6Gw/v-deo.htmlsi=SO_Al_6idYceygdA
Yes it is, Cooper s sport . It has the JCW Pack
Hope that answers your slightly rude reply 🫨
I like that steering wheel except for that stupid strap, wtf is that even there for, just to stick it to 2 spoke enjoyers?
For me its a nice aesthetic
You got a new follower 🙋🏽♂️ greetings from Roanoke Virginia 😊
I like your vids & I will try to buy this one day.
Thank you man
Nice car for younger people. Great review. Greetings
I just got the same one but in the Sports JCW trim and love it! Was tempted to go with the electric one but nah! 🇬🇧🇬🇧ps. Where is my exhaust…..that’s the only thing I dislike
Doesn't need shift paddles, it needs a clutch pedal and a stick.
Needs both!
Mini Cooper 4 door is big car and in a good style 😮.Hardeep nandhra
Thank you.
40K!
Yessir!! Thank you for the support - it’s people like you that got me here!:)
Can you post a video on the exhaust and the sound. I’m struggling to find anyone talk about and show one of the big changes on the new mini.
Dang - I missed on that.. My bad. I’ll try to get another one
Without a manual option, this is a NO GO!
Interior looks like IKEA
I have literally just ordered a new mini and it will have gear paddle shifts. Strange why yours does not have them??
In Europe you can have paddles in JCW trim. In USA, MINIs will have it in the following months I think.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love mine(my 4th ) in USA.
Regarding your comment about the back of the Cooper looking ( slightly ) like the fiat, well l think that it’s fiat who is copying Mini Cooper not the other way around.😂
I don’t think l would like the 2025.
I am stopping at 2024.
Plus they stop making the manual ( of which l prefer ).
I say the mini Cooper well got have good breaks and good gear then stronger gear and good paddle breaks and burglar alum. From Hardeep nandhra. 😅
Actually, the exterior looks better than the f56, but not even close to the r50/53, or even the r56, the interior it's just cheap, cost cutting, awfulness, no manual transmission it's a big no for me. Summer Weather
Exterior 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Interior 🤢 not so much 🚫 looks extremely cheap 🫤 bean counters again 🫣
over priced Mini Cooper "S" only available with an automatic transmission.......major FAIL LOL
This is Signature Plus, not Iconic.😊
Iconic. It says it on the sticker.
