You missed the most important circle function! :) It becomes a rev-counter if you put it in sport mode!!!! It can also have a pulsing heartbeat that lets you know how engaging your style of driving ist :)))

THIS is a 2019 Doug DeMuro and it’s very good

Doug the guy who revs a Tesla in a tunnel

8:36 Doug, the type of guy who films at 4:20PM

Doug the type of guy to advertise the car having a manual transmission and reviewing an automatic car

I just realized that Mini is the only automaker in the US that offers all of their models with manual transmissions.

Doug the type of guy to bless and thank himself after sneezing

Doug the type of guy to name his children "Quirk" and "feature"

Doug the type of guy that congratulates himself after a good parking job

Doug the type of guy to buy a water bottle and release it into the ocean

The best “sell” for this car is the huge grin on Dougs face..he’s obviously having fun driving it😁

'This car is so fun' Fun Factor: 3/10

Doug the type of guy to add water to his shampoo so it lasts longer

6:35 'The really illegal speeds' Germans: *Visible Confusion*

Doug gave it a three out of ten for fun factor. But Doug also had loads of fun explaining how fun the Mini really is. I'm thinking a better score would be six out of ten for fun factor. Because the fun doesn't stop when your sitting at a light.

I've owned many cars and my two Minis have been my favorite. So fun to drive and unique features that no other cars have. Mini fan for life.

"obviously circle is most obvious" - Shakespeare got nothing on Doug

Roads in my city suck so bad, I'd forever be a cliff champion.

Doug the type of guy to go on a date with a girl and give her a Doug-Score while she’s sitting right there.

If you hold the ambient color changing button it mixes colours together and if you keep holding it for 10 seconds until it blinks it enters a disco mode.

I'm convinced that Doug does little weird things in his videos so fans will put then in the Doug out of context videos

That car looks like something Santa's elves would drive.

No one: .. Doug: Look at the BIG CIRCLE! Look at the BIG CIRCLE! Look at the BIG CIRCLE! Look at the BIG CIRCLE!

Doug the type of guy to praise a manufacturer for still offering manual transmissions and review an automatic.

Review the Clubman next... want to see the quirks of the double doors in the rear

I’m going to be honest, I LIKE having seats you have to manually move... you can get it exactly right and it feels less complicated 🤷‍♂️

Doug is the type of guy to hang out with his ex girlfriend and her boyfriend

Doug is the type of guy that would clap when the plane lands.

8:18 *snap* yep this one going in my out of context compilation

Anyone else notice Doug's phone at 8:38 said the time was 4:20P.M, and at 4/22? Because everyone knows that 4/22 is 4/20, too.

Doug the type of guy to sell his Ford GT and get a Mini Countryman.

"This car is fun to drive! Fun factor: 3/10." Wait, what?

British SUV: * exists * Doug: **heavy breathing**

8:39 420.... I always knew Doug had to be high while recording these videos

honestly with the new display technology, where they can basically form them to what they want, they should've just made the whole "circle" a screen

Big fan of the Countryman, love the rear and all the chrome, looks awesome. Sad that all the Mini's are so expensive, but at least the interiors and outer design are always interesting. Nobody can accuse them of being boring.

My doug sense was tingling, I was driving down the highway, say a countryman, thought "hey doug should do a video on one of those". Get home, open KZfaq, and was blessed by lord doug

Doug the type of guy to lease a lawnmower.

I love Doug’s Reviews, sometimes he does some silly stuff a kindergarten would do but he’s just having fun.

18:40 when he pushes the car it sounds like a PS1 granturismo car

if you Americans don't know. John coopers was a British racing legend back in the 60s. he raced minis back in the day

We need a mini Doug, we need a Doug Demuro Action Figure

Doug the type of guy to film a MINI review near an AUDI Dealership

I used to own an original mini country man . You had to varnish the wood every year . And it had a real cooper 1275cc engine and it could fly .

Doug DeMuro The Type Of Guy Who Pairs His Clothing With The Paint Job.

5:13 Stitching already coming off of a brand new, $48,000 car. Great build quality Mini

Most of the strange quirks you mentioned are a very traditional mini thing. The red for sport is a John cooper works color scheme. The plaid pattern was an interior option for the old minis. The checkerboard was a common roof paint scheme since forever. The central circle in the dashboard goes back to the old mini’s where ALL the gauges were in a circle. I had a 1974 mini while I lived in England and seeing a lot of the Cary overs are cool. Most people hate the 3 cylinder engine since for a while it wasn’t made by BMW and suffered as far as reliability, power and fuel economy. As far as all the things that made you smile is what made people into Mini people. Many of the things they got rid of with the Countryman is what many of the purists loved. That being said I will take it over any other crossover if price wasn’t a issue. Thanks for the great review.

Doug has 2 kids: Little Quirks and little Features. God bless !

Americans be like: Bro i have a 450 hp v10 in my car. Another american: that's ok. Romanians be like: Bruh i have a 125 hp 4 cylinder in my car. Another romanian: Man that's a lot.

That car sounds like a car from a 8bit video game. Lol

9:00 I actually like manual seats 🤷🏼‍♂️

That center console lighting based on activity was a super cool feature. I love it

Doug's the type of guy to ram a Honda Odyssey through his wall so that he can HondaVac his living room.

Doug the type of guy to slip in the shower and grab onto the water for help

Take a shot everytime Doug says quirk.

I was given a Countryman as a loner. It wasn’t an S model and I still loved it

Love how his phone says 4:20 when he charged it. Ultimate meme

Something to note about the circle: It can also be changed to a tachometer instead of the ambient light color Also, the lighting isn't fixed to a set of colors, if you hold down the toggle rather than pressing it and releasing it will begin to cycle through the spectrum and you can stop it wherever between the preset colors.

Doug is the type of guy to unfriend you and hope you don’t realize.

No one: Absolutely no one: Doug: *T H E C I R C L E*

Absolutely love ours. Three years we've been putting it through its paces and at 108k miles with minimal issues. Nothing but absolutely comfortable and fun for both the person in the driver seat and even the back seat. It's a very practical mini monster in a class of its own.

I love the car, i dont love it for $48,000.

Re: ambient lighting....you can hold the toggle switch to cycle through the colors until it blinks and then the lights rotate automatically ♥️❤️ Thanks for reviewing MINI, I’ve been waiting for this for years ❤️

Hey Doug, I think you should do a video based on quirky federal and maybe state regulations for vehicles on your other channel! I love to hear about these regulations and how the automobile companies try and get around it to implement style. Your channel is what I follow for the quirkiness. I can go to any channel and find out how much horsepower a car has. But only you would say why the DTRL LED turns off when the signal light is engaged and the mandate to back it. So it’s just a suggestion but I like learning about how things are and the way that it is. You seem to convey that seamlessly!

It's a mini, and it's big. A big mini. That just doesn't track, man.

Video Summary: *CIRCLES & TOGGLES*

7:25 The plaid padding on the bottom of the storage bins is for using the rest of the speedometer (160 MPH). Once you reach 120 throw the pad on the dash to bypass Ludicrous Speed and go right to Plaid.

The clutch and gearbox on my old Mini Clubman from 2012 was so good! I went automatic when I changed the car to a Golf R because the gearbox and clutch on the Golf R were much less sportier, strange enough...

Doug the kind of guy to bless and then thank himself after sneezing

Q: How do we get people to buy more minis? A: Get the customers to destroy their minis. Q: How do we do that? A: We'll make a game out of driving it off road, by giving them the title "Cliff Chump" after so many hours spent destroying their minis. Q: Alright, but let's call it "Cliff Champ", OK? A: That's even better.

As a MINI person, I too enjoy the Countryman. Just enough space and quick enough acceleration for driving along the 805. Good stuff.

Man, I love that engine sound. It really reminds me of how a lot of cars sounded in video games of the early 2000's. I wonder if it's all authentic, or of some of it is piped in.

Doug the type of guy to buy a superbike and add training wheels to it

German BMW engineers: "how can vee be qwerky unt British?" Answer: "colourful half circle to distract driver"

Power seats are nice, but I'd definitely forgo them for a better quality interior. I don't move my seat that often, and it's usually faster to do it manually than wait for a little motor to do it for me.

If you are in Eco/Green mode, the MINIMALISM feature shows how eco friendly you are driving. In my 2015 Cooper S, it has a fish bowl animation where if you brake slowly, use neutral at stop lights, and shift at normal speeds, you gain stars and if you drive like you are in sport mode, you lose stars. It is super cute and I LOVE my Mini!! Oh also, most of the manual transmissions you have to order as a custom feature. When I bought mine, they didn't even have a manual transmission on the lot for me to test drive!

Wow, that central circle light is actually very unique and clever!

Power seats are lame! Slow adjustment, heavy, and usually a paid option. I don't understand the appeal.

Doug the type of guy to get charged for murdering someone who turns off their circular lighting system on their MINI

I’ve driven one of these for the last nine years. Provably one of the best cars I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. OK I live in Sweden where it’s snowing so the four-wheel-drive is great but in general it drives like a gokart, has plenty of room and never fails to put a smile on my face.

Doug the type of guy that smiles while licking a popsicle

This mini is not only huge for a mini, it’s a huge for a car.

Doug, you have to do the NEW 306 HP Clubman JCW review!

That super neat quirky sunroof toggle also becomes the equivalent of a hot curling iron in the summer so that’s fun. I have to use a cloth to touch it to open it.

Needs another 50 horses at least for that price

Man, I was right about this being a JCW. British racing green and red don’t mix well in my opinion, but it is definitely distinctive.

Another fun quirk about the ambient lighting; hold the toggle down for a couple of seconds and you enable kaleidoscope mode. It'll continually rotate through all of the colors of the rainbow.

I used to own a Countryman...LOVED it! I want to get another one...but their repair is astronomical. It's crazy what these dealers try to get you to pay for during a routine maintenance with Mini.

11:37 “But I will judge you because I think all that stuff is really cool” Cooly McCoolington said, while wearing khaki shorts.

*Here's Why the Mini Countryman Is More Expensive Than You Think*

If you’re considering a Countryman, you should know that all that hate comes from the internet. I own a late model Cooper S 2-door hardtop with a 6 speed. Although it’s a classic configuration with its 2 doors and a manual, the trolls still hate on it. Unless it’s a first gen new mini or a classic, those trolls won’t be happy. But remember that you’re going to be driving it in the real world. In reality, the Mini community is welcoming to all Minis. I’m part of one of the largest Mini clubs in the US. Our club members have all kinds of Minis old and new. They are super friendly and they treat me and Countryman owners with love and respect. If you wan to be part of a car club and your life requires you to have a large car, consider this and join us.

Obviously the checkered flag on the speedo is because if you go that fast it will be the end of any racing that car will do. Speedo's are often optimistic though. I have a car where the speedo goes to 200 kmh, but anywhere above 100 makes you wish you had more modern features, such as the ability to drive straight.

MINI COUNTRYMAN OFFROAD LEVEL: Noob Amateur Cliff Champion

you should do a cooper jcw 3door manual next

Do any of you have a preference for temperature control? I use manuel but was wondering if most people use auto.

I've been a MINI fan since the original models. They are cool little cars that are awesome to drive around. My buddy in SLO, Ca, has an older one and that little car is fun to put put around in. This one looks like it's at least worth demoing at the dealership. ;)

It’s not much of a “MINI” anymore is it?

48k? Is it April fool's day again already?

If I get this car, I will be the cliff champ as soon as I leave the dealership, because of the amount of potholes that my city has and they don’t bother to fix....

“This is Doug the best of all!” My man.
