Best car I’ve ever owned. I also own a Porsche 911 4S, but that little JCW is pure driving Heaven.

Just discovered the channel - I’m a fellow JCW owner - good informative video with a great delivery, production on point too - it’s nice to see a video not having these ridiculous soundtracks accompanying them! Keep up the good work 👏🏻

Really good and balanced review. Addresses some things that are never even touched on in the big review channels. Well done.

I’m picking one of these up soon so it’s great to see a review on one 👌🏻

Just bought 2018 mini cooper convertible jcw! Had it 2 weeks now, absolutely love it! First time mini owner

I have a 69 plate JCW I ordered from New! I bought it a year and 2 months ago and ordered it with all the bells and whistles added Harmon kardon BMW music system (you feel like your in a night club), heated jcw sport bucket suede seats, sat nav etc etc everything! 19 inch two tone cup jcw alloys and I wanted a strong rigid car so no convertible or sunroof! Proper solid hardtop! Perfect with spoiler. All black including roof everything as to make it look aggressive sporty and manly! Otherwise they look like toys. Best thing Ever on my Jcw which is pure luxury and so much fun to drive is I opted for the 8 Speed Automatic Sports Transimission!!! So fast cool and engaging! Drove manuals for years then discovered there's more to life than changing gears and I have a life! Heaven in stop start! AUTO is Life!

Really good review, perfectly summed up my experience with the JCW.

I bought the almost twin 2021 model year JCW. I like how you kept the stock chrome bits, which I’m planning to do as well, as it gives it a more classic mini touch IMHO. The latest model year allows you to customize sport mode to keep the regular lighter steering feel. It seems the newer ones are much more quiet as you point out, but an aftermarket option might fix that. I enjoyed your video very much. Cheers.

Hello from Atlanta. Thanks enjoyed this review and summary!

I've owned my F56 for two days and I'm already in love.

An excellent user's point of view review along with some fantastic scenery.

I love my 2019 jcw 6 speed manual w pro exhaust. It is a rocket powered go kart. It’s my weekend car and it’s just outstanding. Love the way it handles and sounds. The exhaust is just unlike anything else

Really enjoyed the video and videography! Really trying to incorporate that type of stuff on my own channel and was really impressed. You got my sub!

im gonna get a 5 door mini s with great kits swapping my 120d in for it. so pumped for it

Great video. We are 4 years in as my wife’s car from new. Light grey, red roof and mirrors, pan roof, manual box, standard suspension. She drives like miss daisy and i clear its lungs when i can. Totally with your review. My thoughts to help anyone considering is totally agree with your point you have made about tyres. Immediately remove the run flats when worn, they are shocking, and should not be on this great car. Having to to put sport mode on to hear the exhaust pop each time i drive is a pain. Buy with pan roof if you can. I haven’t got adjustable damping so cant comment. I think Sa tuning do a truetune mapping upgrade but in truth i think there would be too much torque steer. Oh and as you said. The looks are amazing in the right colours. We get so many comments. We normally change her car every 3 years, but there is only going to be the same again on our drive. That is a endorsement alone. Keep up the good work on your posts. Regards Jason

I love do love these. It seems weird but for a bloke in my 50's I'd still like one. It's the B48 unit from BMW so I'm sure it's reliable which is making me look at these and Cooper S's. Thanks for posting. Well done too by the way, you present really well. Good luck with the channel. 👍😊

Very helpful thank you... just ordered one!...

The throttle response issues are partly due to the JCWs turbo lag. You only get the torque boost from the turbo around 1800 rpm, when the turbo has got to speed

good review, won't be lettting go of mine even after 5 years

Good to see you back! 7:52 is a cool looking spot. Maybe you said... Is it electric steering?

Great video! I've had my F56 JCW for 6 months and found your comments really interesting. I agree about the size of the Rev Counter! Some stunning photography and I am very interested where you shot it?

I ran the same tires on my wrx, they were great in the snow

Great review... your biggest gripe the throttle mapping, have you tried the auto, throttle in that is great, no issues what so ever, so presuming its a manual only issue. we have the same colour as you on a 15 plate.

Great vid! , what year f56 you think I should get I’ve owned an r53 for years now but now I am looking for an f56. Which year you think is best to buy 2014- present. Thx!

Great video, and nice Mini! Michelin PS4 or PS4S? I guess 205/40R18?

Love to see what you make of the 2021 JWC MINI as thinking about buying one. Or do save some money and get a 2019 JWC. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I've had my 2019 JCW for about 7 months now, I traded my BMW M235i for it which had 100 bhp more but I find the JCW more exciting to drive and as it's in white/silver with a red roof and panoramic glass it really is a piece of eye candy. No I also can't see the rev counter properly and also agree it has the wrong tyres, my BMW had the Pilot Sports which were brilliant and I had full confidence in them but with the standard run flat MINI tyres not so. I was shocked at the price for a new MINI JCW as my intention was to buy a new one with my selection of extras, I ended up buying a 3k mile 10 month old one with all the toys, list for that was £38k WOW! I paid £27k and got a good p/x price for my BMW. I think with today's competition of hot hatches the bhp could be higher at say 270 or thereabouts but apart from that and the ridiculous price for servicing I honestly can't fault the car.

P.S. fantastic quality review very professional! Great picture quality on the video and I love the location to showcase full driving experience and the soundtrack! What soundtrack is that?

Would you mind telling me where is the road that you’re driving on? Great review btw

Great content! I've just ordered a JCW and taking delivery in April. Does it still have a relatively throaty exhaust sound? Do you still get the pops etc?

Wow I have recently been thinking about/eyeing up Mini Cooper! I have never owned one but always had them at the back of my mind. Would be Just for zipping around/personal use/shopping. I love the look of the Mini Cooper D very classic design. Any tips? What would be ideal for using short trips out and about?

Great video, I don't have a JCW, my mini is a 2018 f55, remapped to 265bhp and 450nm, I chose this set up as I prefer a more subtle looking car, its very much a wolf in sheep's clothing. In fact, it's an absolute animal, next stage is a big brake conversion, then next year, a lohen stage 2. Can't wait.

Very nice filming location! Do you remember where was that please? Thanks a lot😊

What does a full tank give up? 400 miles? Love your review!

What did you do if you replaced your run flats with out run flats. what's your back up with a puncture

I’m thinking of buying a 5door cooper s sport 2019 are these reliable? Can you tell me how they drive in wet/ice/snow? Do older kids actually fit in back ? Any help greatly appreciated .

Hey! Best ownership video out there! What do u think about the road noise in this car? Greetings from Norway :)

I've just purchased a 2016 JCW Auto, trading it in for a 330e hope I've made the right choice 😅!

Great car I had it for4 yrs.80000km. Always get me every time ps.I just trade for 2021 jcw clubman a little more space good luck

Opinion on your seats vs Mini yours lounge leather?

Get it mapped, goes all the way to the limiter with you pinned into your seat - 2016 JCW here

JCW comes with a stiffer suspension than Mini Cooper S. Is it still comfortable enough for practical daily use?

I’ve had mine for just over a year and I’m loving it. Did the res delete on it too so the pops and bangs are like gunshots 😻 Only quarms, you’re right about the throttle and steering being a bit odd some days. In the cold when you set off the gears are a bit notchy, and every now and then the active cruise control doesn’t want to work. Apart from that it’s a great car. Pair that with a great spec I.e. the seats, the pro nav and the HK system, you’ve got an exceptional little daily

Thinking of getting a 3rd generation if the car is well maintenances. Used cars are all luck ?

Difference between R56 & F56?

Assume you mean Pilot Sport 4 tyres (not 4S), as Michelin don’t do Pilot Sport 4S in MINI size.

You think england has bad roads? Try new england

🔥🔥🔥 Instagram @miniclubbenelux ✌🏼 very good review mate

228 bhp NOT 231 bhp. Do your homework !
