The way you laughed reflects exactly what this experience is about. Fantastic car, great video.

Once the top goes down you just keep holding the button and all the windows go back up for the front and back. My wife says to dig a hole big enough for her and her mini convertible when she passes away 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ she loves her mini convertible, you either love them or hate them but they are a lot of fun to drive.

i owned a mini cooper S (2018), had it 4 years now, love it & it’s a great car, speedy and easy parking around town

I have never been into Mini's but I really did not realize they'd updated their interior to such a degree. That interior looks flat out great; full of personality and character and things that make you feel something when you drive. Objectively, $50K is crazy; you can walk out with a 430i Gran Coupe RWD all day long for that amount---a far, far better car. However, for a person that is into the brand, this thing is awesome and we should all be happy we are still free to buy what we want, not what we are told we can have.

1:26 You know that You have a really good design, when your soft top convertible look nice even with the top !! 😎👌🏼 Excellent design !!

It is absolutely insane that there’s like an inch of rubber on those wheels. You could never drive that in a city with horrible roads…like Boston, etc.

Even though the hood vent is fake I still love it, it is what really attracts me to the Mini.

I love the center circle with interactive lights on the dash. What would make it look a lot better is if they extended the display all the way to the top with a few guages in that extra area. Or instead of the additional screen area they could add 2 or 3 analog guages to fill the space so there's no awkward blankness.

Any JCW car is way too much fun. You the man Sofyan

The convertible is not a roadster; it has a back seat. Mini did produce a classic 2-seat roadster from 2012-2015 which, oddly, we rarely ever hear about. That was a cool car!

18:54 Did you forget about the VW Eos? Loved the sunroof feature combined with the hardtop on those.

Great review. I own a Mini Cooper 'S' convertible and it is a very fun car to drive and I can park it anywhere when I go to NYC because it's compact.

I’m 6’1”. 220 and really, really want this. Time to make room in the garages.

VW Eos did the sunroof/hardtop convertible combo first. Really cool feature

Honestly always wanted a Mini JCW but they're almost 60K in Canada so I just ended up going with a used Abarth 😂 definitely don't regret my decision

I love the JCW rims.

I would be nice if they offered the EV version as a convertible.

The wind deflector is a must have.

I know it sounds weird but newer MINI's just feel more and more like a cheap high margin BMW. The screen where the speedo was should at least be rounded to look like it actually fits in the hole. The gauges on the wheel look out of place and that HUD looks like something from 2006. Now this is fine depending on the price but for approaching 50K I just cannot see the value in the JCW even when compared to other BMW's.

Looks like they made the soft top act like a rear wing when the top is down

My girlfriend has a base version convertible. It’s a lot of fun but she wants something faster like the S or JCW. Overall it’s a fun car regardless of engine size and the 3 cylinder is quicker than most commuter cars.

JCWs are awesome! I can think of 2 more fun ways to go topless

Really love this review 😊😊

21:58 I thought you were gunna get pulled over lol

Please review the Clubman JCW!

One of the forgotten benefits of owning a MINI.... You meet so many people waiting for the recovery vehicle or at the shop waiting for another expensive repair to be completed.

The dent on the hood 😵‍💫

If I could afford a weekend whip this would be it (unless the new 400z releases a spyder.)

I need the hard top version of this car 😍

Sofyan, come join us for a PhillyMINI rally this year. You can drive my tuned 3-cylinder manual convertible ☺️

Other than the price, my biggest complaint is it looks like it has Bane's mask on it. The lesser versions of the Cooper are a lot nicer to look at, if not drive.

For the record, it’s not a new generation, it’s a second refresh of the same generation (F-series)

Hey nice video review fella & can I just ask are the Adaptive dampers manually adjustable & how do they work? 🤔 Kind regards Dave... 👌🏻👍🏻😁

just a scant 20 years ago 6 seconds 0-60 was considered a quick car!

Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

There's no way this car is 50k wtf

"FRONT FACIA" -Sofyan Bey

Not worth the price

50k tho and no awd, wireless charger is too small and gas mileage could def be improved for such a small car.

Reliable sources are available. Not sure if an hold up. Oil consumption issues??

The UK flag is called the Union Jack.

Despite the super fun driving experience this car offers, it's not worth anywhere near $50k. It just looks cheaply built and it's way too heavy for its size. I'd choose a MX-5 over this every time.

Mazda should put the 2.0L, 250hp turbo, in the Miata. To truly complete with this vehicle.👍🏾

Sounds like an Fiat Abarth. But nice compact car

How much is Onroad price of this JCW varient in India

I like mini think they are cool. Unfortunately they still want to punish android user's with still no android auto. In 2022 I will never by a car they does not have this feature.

Well the only 2 iPhone models that fits in the wireless charging pad is the iPhone 12 mini and possibly the iPhone SE 2020

I love Minis. But the car keeps growing further and further away from the first gen minis, and that large mouth bass grill is atrocious. That's why I opted instead to buy a low mileage 2013 JCW Mini convertible instead. Interesting that BMW is referring to this shade of green as "Rebel Green." If you search the history of the BRG color, this darker shade is a lot closer to BRG than the lighter shade BMW calls BRG. This color also coincidences with Patone Racing Green 20-0183 TPM. Love those Union Jack taillights!

They should have added LED fog lights

You’ve had cayman GTS and a model 3… what are you driving now?

What is the launch unit on the windscreen which you time from 0 to 60. The name and unit. Thanks

Awesome 🍻👍

Mini convertible is the only car that has both sunroof and open top.

'm gaining more Interest In the mini cooper and so far I Like the countryman/club wagon. I would get the turbo 228 HP with the Manual Transmission In either car. But I do need to think harder about the price they want for these cars because I don't know If 40,000 or 50,000 Is some thing I wanna pay for a car with only 230 HP?? This car would need to have at Least 280 HP or 360 HP or better 380 HP?? For me to wanna spend that much money on It. They are getting to dam GREEDY with money In my opinion.

Did you know there is a secret glove box above the “regular glove box”

Why does a fwd car with that much power only have 205 tires ? It's 3100lbs it not exactly a Miata

Very nice

Still can't believe Funk flex dissed these cars. They look so fun.

Best "British Roadster" is Japanese ...it's made by Mazda known as the MX-5 or Miata in the US. Much lighter and more fun...cheaper to boot!

Thorough, but seriously, in a road test this lengthy, take the time to show us storage space, fold the rear seat down, and tell us how much cargo capacity there is seats-folded. For convertible owners (I’ve had many) it’s a key factor. I like your work a lot, so just a few friendly suggestions - during editing remove the master of the obvious remarks, ie, “feels like it has more space than a Miata…”, duh, it’s a four-seater. Also the cliche laughing and chortling on acceleration, every YT reviewer feels like they have to do it, it was interesting 20 years on Top Gear, today just fake and annoying. Otherwise keep up the good work.

Bonnet stripes are $100 extra, not $500.

toyota or honda, please make something with similar body appeal as a mini.....just make it basic so it doesnt have to be expensive like a mini...more important is a bit more hp than normal... :D

Oh. That ding :S

48K is too much for a cooper jcw people should stay with cooper s.

Since when is bmw british?

Highest trim and still a fake hood scoop? Lol what a joke

I love mini's. I don't know why they bother putting back seats in the Cooper. Folks with kids aren't buying this vehicle. Give me more cargo space!

just buy a used one, the resale drop off is atrocious, the market for an expensive, german convertable is very small

Awesome!

50K!?

👍

Just cos it has similar size and convertible doesn't mean it's a true competitor of the miata. The miata is significantly lighter, RWD, has manual option, 2 seats, way cheaper, and looks significantly different. Even the non-convertible GR86 is a closer competitor to the miata than this, and yet the GR86 isn't a true competitor still. Only if the 86 has a convertible, 2 seats, and smaller. It's kinda like you make the civic a convertible and call it a miata competitor. No.

How is this car British?

Cute little car?

No offense but are any guys driving this?

I have no idea why someone would buy this over a GTI or Miata.

I have noticed after watching a few of this guy's videos is that he is very bias towards little cars. He always says "small or little" car a million times with sarcasm. This car is meant to be designed for a single person or a couple. It's not a family hauling SUV. That is why it's a mini!

LOL, no. No Apple. 😭

I thought BMW owned Mini?

My neighbor had a Mini. I was very surprised by how impractical it was. But especially that the back seats were made of plastic! A 21st century automobile made by BMW with plastic seats! Unbelievable.

Cool car but it's way overpriced in my opinion. Even lower trims are expensive.

Fun cars no doubt, but they have reliability issues.

What you don't address are the many electrical and mechanical issues this car has had. It's like me giving a patient a prescription for their headaches and not addressing their underlying metastatic cancer, Ravi Peiris M.D.

Convertible with sunroof ummm VW EOS.

I'd rather drive a kia forte gt

"British car"?

50 thousand dollars? Lollllllll nahhhhhh

Bro was so negative and backhanded about everything single feature,he sure knows how to convince anyone to not buy a car. Too opinionated for someone just showing a tour of a car

The JCW definitely NEEDS a manual transmission!!!!!!! Sorry, not interested in this at all with the stupid automatic!!!! 0-60 too slow anyway!!!

50k ? Bye

not sure who would buy this new anywhere near the msrp.

Get a Miata. Faster, better quality, $15k cheaper, and way, way more reliable.

It’s not the European flag. It a Union Jack. You need to watch more Fifth gear and listen to miss Vicki.

What hair... Lol..

This car is for the alphabet crowd

ALHAMDULILLAH(SWT)- ASTAGHFIRULLAH(SWT).

Very Very tiny lol....I think that's why it's called MINI?

Compared to Miata's 181 HP this mini SEEMS more impressive at 228hp UNTIL you stop and look at the specs....the Mini is an absolute PIG compared to the Miata by a figure approaching an extra half ton....Miata like 2300 lbs vs Mini 3143 So I am just guessing the Miata is way more fun to drive which might explain why I never see Minis on my favorite mountain road...I see lots of Porshe 911s.Caymans and Boxters quite a number of Miatas but rarely maybe never the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZs (which surprises me as reviewers say they are Miata like? go figure!) a grazillion sport bike motorcycles obviously ....the thing is people with vehicles that are really fun to toss around in the twisties just naturally keepcoming back for more while vehicles that are less enjoyable that is that fail to ignite that sport driving/riding thrill? Well folks drive em somewhere else I guess ....I mean don't get me wrong there are also folks just enjoying the scenery at a leasururly pace but those are mostly SUVs and such....maybe all the Minis are at the beach here in So Cal idk...but after looking at that WEIGHT? You can KEEP the Mini LOL
