9 жыл бұрынDan Prosser gets lairy in the new 5-door Mini Cooper S at Bedford Autodrome. Can a more-door Mini really still cut it on track?

Just recently changed my 2017 Fiesta ST3 for this car and I can honestly say I've done the right thing! Yes, it's more expensive but it excels in every aspect over the Fiesta ST and I genuinely think it's a bit quicker and my ST had the Mountune 215 kit installed too! Great car!

Seeing a lot of B.S about the new guy, given its his first review of a relatively important car I think he did a great job. He reviews cars guys, he isn't an actor. Everything he's said is on point and punches home everything important to an Evo reader: the way the car feels and performs. Listen to what he's saying not to how he's saying it, besides you'd normally read the majority of his works.

Useful video. I’ve just bought myself a 66 plate MCS 5dr all in black with 24,000 miles and can’t wait to take delivery next week. I know the styling of the 5dr is marmite, however I really like it and the extra doors make it more practical. I’m certain I’m going to be very happy with my new purchase.

@mariuszanfir2298 9 жыл бұрын
Although you may be biased because your profile pic is an M3 :P, I do agree that on that particular video the M3 was presented as a failure on BMW's part, which kinda contradicts what everyone else says. Yes is different as much as the context forces it to be, but it still delivers 100% of what it aims for. Some people that are driving fanatics actually ordered one (I won't give names :P). True, the competition for COTY makes it fade in the background pretty quickly, but that still doesn't make it the car that was pictured.

For it's fun, practicality, and uniqueness I actually like it a lot but I would NEVER get over the fake front hood scoop. I get some people just think it "looks cool," but I can't stand styling features based on real features that don't exist. This is an epidemic for most carmakers today.

The first gen BMW mini was great. Great steering, still one of the funnest cars I have owned. After 2006 everything went massive down hill. Theres nothing mini about Minis these days. They are now huge ugly lumps with crap steering and huge plastic arches. Wtf is up with the plastic arches?! The whole mini range is now hideous ugly for me. Bring back the first gen ethos. Keep them small and fun. Look at this thing compared to a first gen cooper s. What a monstrosity!

Damn it's ugly! Even the bread-van/hearse MINIs are good-looking by comparison! There's not a single redeeming feature about that body aside from the fact that it has 5 doors now. And I'll always prefer the old supercharged cars to any of the turbo Minis. They're so much more charismatic and responsive.

If it was my money, I'd lease this for a year or two at most. It isn't the best investment as a car. If I was to own a hot hatch in the long run, I'd either go with the Fiesta ST or Golf GTI. Mini are notorious for their reliability issues. This should have been addressed in the video. On a side note, the presenter should stick to writing, he isn't the best personality to put in front of a camera.

You're right, his review was informative and useful for someone in the market for whatever the hell this car is. That's why I recommended consumer reports (see my comment above). I'm not paid to create videos for automotive enthusiasts, but if I was I would probably smile a bit more. P.S. This is merely constructive criticism, although I don't want it to sound supportive.

I d take a Subaru WRX for about the same price over this ugly (in my opinion), overpriced throwback to the real mini which this car embodies in idea only but misses the mark in all other areas. I guess the marketing guys were really leaning hard on the old heritage of the mini when trying to sell this one, probably made a few Brits feel misty eyed and thoughtfull of they're old Mini's while BMW went off laughing to the bank.
