One cool little detail was how the center entertainment display’s outer ring showed a lighted arch that flowed like a neon tachometer when you floored it.

I have never owned a Mini before; test drove one and loved it! Placed an order for a 2023 JCW Clubman. Dealer says it will be a 6 to 9 month wait.

We have a Mini S 2 door with a US port of entry JCW power upgrade. Fully loaded, w/adaptable suspension of the S (not on a JCW). Also has Bluetooth exhaust which adds power in track mode, reduces back pressure. Funny thing…. In Eco mode, gets over 42mpg on highway, 32 in town average over several thousand miles. Drives like go-cart around corners. One of our favorite cars. Especially these days. We added various trim add ons, and checkerboard wrap over the moonroof. Many thumbs up from a variety of people. Another family member has a Clubman S. AWD, 8speed auto. Driving normal, feels like the much smaller two door. However, pressed to limit, it feels it’s added weight. And MPG is in mid 20s, maybe 30-32 on highway. The added weight, plus AWD hurts the mpg compared to the two door. It is very practical. Lots of space to haul all kinds of thing anywhere in style and cool handling. The mini seats in both are made for North Carolina Dragon tour, and thousand of miles of long distance driving. We have had no issues with either Mini. Only preventative maintenance. There are all kinds of Easter egg features no other vehicle has. Too many to list here. We all love the programmable interior accent lighting, to name one. OH! Get this! Depending on the package , our two door has a GPS learning feature that is so cool. It knows the roads, and will change the gears like a manual automatically. When you come up on a curve, or roundabout, when you naturally get ready, the Mini will downshift knowing where you are on the road. It knows exactly the right gear to pick. Just keep the maps updated, you are good to go when they convert intersections to round a bouts. Really fun thing to have as a driving experience. Again, many more cool features to name them all. Side note.. our two door optioned as is, top speed ranges between 148-153 stable, drive with one finger (people never do) stable.

I have a 2021 Countryman JCW (same platform as this Clubbie) and I really enjoy it as my daily. It's fun to drive but also plenty comfortable and practical. The motor is so strong and I enjoy merging onto the highway every day because of the way it pulls. Thanks for the review, guys!

Had mine for almost three years now, brilliant car. The acceleration is very quick indeed and the all4 system makes the car corner like it’s on rails. If I were to recommend some options for this car they would be, the head up display, adaptive dampers and the matrix led headlights. I have pretty much all the options but those are the ones which make so much difference to the car. I’m on my 4th Mini and this car tops the lot, much faster and more powerful than my previous JCW hatch.

Love my 22 Countryman JCW. The Clubman looks great but the barn doors and ground clearance were a deal breaker for me. I think this car would impress people if they could find one to test drive! As Roman said, I’ve only seen one other Countryman JCW in my town so the unique/rare factor is also there.

That town is beautiful. Looks just like Helen, Georgia.

Love my Clubman S All4! Wish I could have the JCW.

I almost got the 2023 Countryman JCW. So glad i went with the clubman jcw. After driving both the Countryman was a little more top heavy than the Clubman. Such a fun drive. Ill have a Mini for the rest of my life.

i've never owned a Mini or wanted a Mini before until my wife says she likes them and we picked up a 2019 Countryman S Yin-Yang Edition for her. I really enjoyed the car and started some of the upgrades to freshen the interior bits to the the newest model years. most importantly i was able to retrofitted the sport mode selection toggle. I wish we've gotten the all4 version, but the one we picked up was at the right price with low mileage back in March and we live in Los Angeles, so the all4 isn't really needed.

FINALLY THE CLUBMAN GETS LOVE!

5yrs from now..... this'll most-likely be in my garage or a Countryman JCW

Currently drive a 2015 R57 jcw as my daily driver since 2016 with literally zero problems. The jcw clubman will be my next. I honestly want to just keep the convertible for fun, but might have to downgrade to a basic mini non s , non jcw because I drive it like a madman and the convertible factor is what makes it so spicy.

What’s it not? “Reliable” 😂😂😂

This is my dream car. Is it reliable enough to last 10 years???

Always enjoy when you two get together in a video. Great fun!

Good to see your thoughts on the F54 clubman, I have a 2016 one and love it. Would like to get a JCW but it is still a bit too expensive.

Cool little car

Some autobahn driving at 150mph would have been appreciated .....

I have one with top trim with two tone interior (white) with the fancy jcw wheels and it’s a head turner. Mine has red strips on hood and doors. So many comments/likes for under a 50k car. Got mine used for 42k and they are very few of theses running around. It’s a blast to drive. Very fast and quick and just great IMO. Also I am getting 36 a gallon on green setting when you want to maximize fuel. I agree that more people would buy this if they could find one to test drive…

It's funny. I agree about the steering. I have had three Minis from 2015 all the way to 2023 and the steering is heavy (similar to the 2012 Volvo S60 I had). I also have a BMW 2015 328 wagon and I have to say the steering is lighter in the BMW and that makes the car a little more fun to drive. Still love the Mini!

Beastly little mini!!

Love your video 🤌🏽 really pointed out the important things in this car But one thing I realized.. it’s not 7.8 for a hundred miles, because the infotainment ist set in km

Just loved listening to it purr when you gassed it :)

love my 2020 JCW Clubman, not alot of people know about them or know how quick they are

I especially appreciate the Clubby since I’m tall and normal hatches when you’re tall are a pain in the forehead 🤣

Glad to see the boys in Europe. It is very nice in the Czech Republic.. If only there was time to test drive the Skoda Kodiac VRS..

I worked with a broker that bought a Mini Clubman as a daily driver five years ago, that thing was in and out of the shop constantly. He dumped it and bought a Toyota Camry Hatchback.

My next car for sure

Didn't that JCW have the active suspension system? According to MINI "The new suspension option has frequency-selective damper technology designed to dampen noise when driving over minor bumps."

The early grand cherokees were made in Austria during the Daimler Benz days.

I have a Mini Cooper Convertible S....best bang for the buck. Very well made, very quick and the top can be a sunroof or convertible. Brilliant!

Try finding a true Dinan tuned mini to review. vroom vroom ! 🤙

Great car Roman, I'd love to own one, but its too expensive 😞. How great that you're come home to the Czech Republic, will you be visiting with family?

Is this the Rooftop Grey Metallic or a different color for body color?

I will never buy a mini cooper again. My 2007 needs major electrical and mechanical repairs every 10 months. It only has 71 000kms too (had it since new)

If given the option between this and the MINI GP3 which would you go with?

Solid cars!

I want a mini as my side car for the scat

So Tommy said JCW- John Cooper "Wacing" ??

Why are we still doing reviews on Mini's ? Such a money pit☠️

Alternative title. "How to die in a Mini Cooper"

👉💨💨💨POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO😎DEFINITELY A SLEEPER‼️

I’m going to say this after countless videos! Roman you mic volume is too low. Luv u guys man!

Na. I enjoy actually driving my cars and not having them sit at a repair shop. But glad they paid for you all to go out there.

I love the supercharged and turbocharged 2 door minis but to me a countryman doesn't feel like the same car. You could buy a loaded pony car with a v8 or an entry level EV for that kind of money.

Dangerous power for regular roads

This or Kona N?

Mini car, maxi price.

the countryman jcw is actually quicker than this coz it's lighter

30 mpg

Cool looking car but that's an awful lot of plastic in the engine bay.🤪

Life’s too short to drive a boring car. Mini for life

More maverick

The interior looks way to outdated

Get rid of Tommy.

I'll take a GR Corolla, thank you, and leave that masterpiece of German engineering in the dumpster where it belongs

Ayye

It'll break after a year and be worthless in 5 yrs

Maybe not the quickest, but definitely the fastest.

SUPER!!!!!!!
