    Great video. Towards the end it started to get fun but just sorta ended abruptly. A smooth outro would have been better

    LOVE the cinematography/color grading, B-roll and the edit and the review part is not bad either BUT why would you use so many cams :S ? i mean at least use the same one for all the shots :S the one from the chase car is outright 576i :S im not sure but the most of the thing looks like if its been shot in 1080i or something :S its just a shame tbh ..

    Does people who think Mini has gotten too big really think it could stay that small and fragile as it was in the 60:s? That car would never pass any safety regulations and without all the creature comforts we ALL demand in a modern car, nobody would buy it. Regulations and creature comforts add size and weight. The 2-door Mini is still a small car but to build ONLY that model would be a huge loose for any manufacturer. Look at Smart and how many models they make from it.

    I can't think of a better car to own in Portugal. Sorry you British but this car was made for driving in Portugal, Spain, Italy... Beautiful car and review.

    .......you must be some kinda high roller because 18 seconds is really not that long for a convertible roof to pop up. it's actually fairly short. the one thing i am interested in is if you can put the roof up while you are still driving at slow speed.

      Really? I think you are confused as in fact if one wishes to draw a circle one needs a pair of compasses, I learnt this in 7th grade!

    • @josemhs1213
      @josemhs1213 8 років тому

      +Jacque Noir okay well from the compass i know which is shaped as a somewhat legs with a pencile on one end and a point on the other you put the point in the center of where you want the circle and then spin it around to form a "perfect" circle

    Ugh, what a horrid, soulless, miss-named turd of a car. A tribute to cynical brand name marketing. Pretty sure I've never seen anyone other than preppy looking chicks driving modern minis, if you are a guy or indeed a girl who is actually interested in cars, and you want a moderately priced drop top, you probably buy a Miata or something - anything other than a Mini. Why does every single car reviewer these days NEVER give a bad review any more? Seriously I can't remember the last time I saw a car review where the reviewer went "This is a horrible car, don't buy it".
