Test Driving the MINI JCW - A Proper Pocket Rocket!

I've teamed up with Pendle Leasing to bring you a new series of test drives in more obtainable cars and we're going to get started with the MINI Cooper S JCW!
A popular favourite, the 228bhp top-end variant of the Mini F56 hatchback brings a lot of go to a small form factor. This particular car finished in Electric Blue looks the part too, but what's it like to drive and what does the lease market have to offer?
The MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works (along with many other MINI variants) is available via Pendle Vehicle Contracts. The UK-based leasing company offers special leasing deals for all needs and arrange suitable finance for the private individual, business or even if you are a large fleet customer.
Please check the link for more direct info on leasing a MINI hatchback or even a MINI Cooper S JCW: www.pendlelease.co.uk/personal...
If you're interested to know more about leasing in general, take a look at: www.pendlelease.co.uk
Thanks for watching, Tim

I work at a BMW/Mini dealership in the states, and Mini is truly great brand. It's a brand that both petrolheads and non-petrolheads can enjoy. Go to a Mini event someday and you'll see why!

There's so much hate online because of reliability and build quality. How do you counter that?

@Dustin0703 8 жыл бұрын

Actually only the first gen has bad reliability and build quality. Just get your ass into one and drive around a few nice roads and you'll know that there's a lot of bullshit talking going around in the internet ;)

Jesse D actually, at one Mini event I was at (Mini Takes the States) I saw a Mini that came from California (this checkpoint was in Pittsburgh) that was basically a Barbie car. Then I saw another Mini from New York with performance parts with a license plate that said "NOT CUTE". It's a unique range of personalities.

@EA40 8 жыл бұрын

Willy Lamb Remember, maintenance is key. But Mini buyers care more about the heritage of the car, the style, the driving feel, etc. Reliability is boring :)

*As much as we all like to be wealthy and as much as we love seeing awesome supercar/hypercars, I'm really appreciative when you also make videos of more affordable cars like these Tim. It would be great to see Suzuki Swift Sport, Mazda MX-5 and Toyota GT86 (although a facelift is coming soon). Thanks very much in advance.*

***** It wouldn't hurt to see different people's opinions on them though. Saabkyle04 doesn't really do testdrives too. Also some of those cars aren't available in USA. Finally, as Tim owns supercars, I'd like to hear his thoughts on cars of a different spectrum

Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I've been watching it over and over while I've been waiting the 3 months since I ordered my new JCW which I finally pick up later today. Waiting for it to get shipped across the pond and around through the Panama Canal has been torture. Thanks again.

Like the Mini it has drive modes: Eco,Auto and Dynamic. Throttle response, adaptive dampeners and exhaust valve opens. I own one and would love for somebody to review them. Only 1600 in the UK currently so quite rare.
