    The MINI JCW is a guilty pleasure for me. Doesn't make sense on some level, but creates sheer joy when driven!

    I ordered my 2024 JCW in Rebel Green with red roof and mirrors. Now that I see this car, I'm very happy that ordered the 18" wheels, HK sound, blacked out beltline and the dinamica seats. Of course the 6 speed. Got on the last Thursday in July.

    I love my F56 so much. I had two loves. My 1995 Eclipse GSX and my Mini. I have mine slightly modded to Stage 1. 280hp/315tq. It's absolutely insane.

    The rear spoiler that you like so much is designed to accomodate the antenna when the hatch is fully open! Cool car. When youre talking about the ease of use of the manual, I believe that is due to auto rev matching..

    And so on and so forth 😅 Good video work showing the details and controls but especially the road and engine noise. That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks a lot four including that.

    I'm 57 and have a '23 JCW. When I was researching, I was concerned about how stiff it is. I don't find it too bad at all (my '09 C63 is firmer) and have made two roundtrips from Vegas to Vancouver, BC and back last year and it was tolerable. It is our most driven vehicle ('09 C63 and '18 Macan GTS in garage as well).

    Absolutely cute car and seems fun to ride, I’m looking forward to receive my Mini John Copper soon. Thanks for this video 😅

    Great job today considering the elements. I would enjoy a small car to toss around. But I think I would go with that Miata you mentioned.
  • @user-vh3tm7rv5f
    Would've never heard of it without you making the vid so the owners are lucky to have you
  • @ENGBriseB
    The engine does that so if you're on a hill it won't roll back down when driving. Hope you give this another chance when it's sunny. Plus its quick.

    Sitting in my r56 considering this as the new daily😭 keeping the r56 for weekends ofc
  • @highercalling2101
    Thanks for the helpful review. do you know the wheel size of it? looks cool
  • @LanceEJones
    Love it. Cross-shopping, I suppose the WRX, GTI, Elantra N could be contenders; but, none of those replicate the handling and super-low weight of the Mini. Also at 6'6", I fit great in a Mini and DO NOT fit in a Miata!

    always thought it be cool if they made “All4” an option on the jcw
