I have a R56 Cooper S, really love the feeling of driving that little bastard. I also tried the new gen MINI and is 1000 times better. If i have the chance to get a new car, it will also be a MINI.
I don't know if it's just me, but the trunk looks tiny. 48.7 mpg sounds good, will have to add this to my list with the Focus ST, Golf GTI, and Subaru WRX.
You can't really compare this car with a Golf GTi my wife bought clubman cooper s late last year and rejected it after it had been back to the dealer for the 13th time for various problems. It had so many problems that we done under 500 miles. She now has a GTi and the difference is night and day. Yes the GTi is more expensive but it has much better spec.
I know I'm digging the video back up again but out of curiosity did you get to drive the Clubman Cooper S with the Manual 'Box? I know the Cooper S hatch has Rev-matching in manual guise so I was just wondering if the Clubman S did too?
+Inside Lane Pointing out a flaw isn't "judging the car". You overreacting on the other hand is like those cup holders I just pointed out, pretty lame.
best car interior under $30,000 imo

I still wish I could afford this.
love it but currently too poor to have one I'll have to wait 20 years to get one cheap
+snoopyy28 It is a good car. Most particle Mini yet.
i totally agree
+snoopyy28 I am saving up and in two years when my lease is up I might get a mini
and in 20 years they'll be banned from the road
Nice review. Pretty much everything I'd want to know.
クラシックな外装なのに中身は先進的、この大きさの車で走りも楽しめるのは素晴らしい。カッコかわいい車の一台ですね。
Only 2 more weeks til mine in volcanic orange arrives!
+Susan Lyon They look great in orange! Hope you enjoy.
are you enjoying your mini to this date?
Clubman ALL-4 review coming soon.

+AJ Z. It is quite deceiving. There is underfloor storage, which helps, but the boot is actually larger than that of a Focus.
Quite deceiving indeed! I like the exhaust sound too. They need to work on those headlights though, too round for my taste lol.
+AJ Z. lol its a mini what do you expect

Mini Cooper should get rid of those buttons on that circular infotainment system and just make it all screen. I think it would be nice
+Ixissimus The Mini brand is going through an evolution, maybe this is something we will see soon.
The Golden Nugget couldn't agree more. I bet the next will be.
8 years later, your wish has come true…
My gf and I are looking to the same model and line of this car. It look very interesting.
I wish i could afford this :(

I drove the diesel with a manual, but not Cooper S. I'm pretty sure it does have rev matching too.
Is the color of the car melting silver?
I have one. Cooper S.
How are you finding it?
We were amongst the first to test the all-new 2017 Mini Countryman: ua-cam.com/video/JkIJcsCVuNw/v-deo.html
It just came out and already looks old
British cars fall apart
That's a rather outdated view.
not really, they do horrible on jd powers, consumer reports year after year
Those cup holders seem weak. One flaw already. Pretty lame.
+Red Sant You are going to judge the car on one tiny element?
+Inside Lane
Pointing out a flaw isn't "judging the car". You overreacting on the other hand is like those cup holders I just pointed out, pretty lame.
+Red Sant "one flaw already" sounds like you are just waiting to find many others.
+Inside Lane
Exactly 1 flaw already. Truth hurts doesn't it.
+Red Sant Why would the truth hurt? Move along armchair critic.
