  • Real men drive Mini Cooper S

  • A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED. UNLESS YOU HAVE ALOT OF MONEY, DONT BUY A MINI. IVE HAD ONE, AND ITS A TIN CAN THAT YOU THROW MONEY INTO. BMW PUTS ALL THEIR BUDGET INTO MARKETING, AND EVERYTHING VISUAL. QUALITY ISNT NEEDED, CAUSE THE AFOREMENTIONED. THEY BREAK DOWN EASILY AND OBSCURE PARTS THAT OTHER CARS DON'T EVER BREAK! IVE HAD AMNY CARS AND MY MINI S MOST UNRELIABLE COSTLY TO FIX BELT TENSIONER TOOL IS $200! BUY AN MX 5 HANDLES MUCH BETTER. FASTER BETTER ON GAS MILEAGE. RELIAB;LE!

  • @godwithme777 but from carmax get the maxcare warranty. Problem solved.

  • thought i had a real fun car till i bought my mx5. it outhandles my mini s, and is faster! it straightens out the curves. mini throws you into the door g forces bad! mini was breaking down always tired of being stranded, and the repair costs are ludicrous! $ 180 perhr! Brakes $1200, 2 repl. auto trans $8000! Ive had 45 cars most of em muscle & sports. NEVER LOST A HARMONIC BALANCER..DID ON MINI! REPL. BELT? $210. BROKE DOWN 23 TIMES! TOWDRIVER KNOWS ME BY NAME! BMW STANDS FOR Bad Mech Works

  • I had a mini cooper s convt. put 87000 miles on it. Had it towed several times, not reliable. had instrument cluster repl. harmonic balancer, tires every 8 mos. trashes you my mx5 handles much better auto trans cost 9000 to repl. overated junk! I have a folder 2" thick of repairs! its all in the looks but after 30,000 mi. look out! BMW repair shop @ 180.00/ hr. brakes $1200 pretty car , but big trouble. turbos break alot Ive had some stay away from those turbos. unreliable! Sorry I bought Mini!

  • All day every day. I see how idiots try to compare a pathetic Focus to a MINI. Not close. I'm on my second MINI. But this time I bought the 2011 Cooper S. And I never looked back on a 2011 Mustang V6 EVER again. I'm very happy about my choice. I'm so happy cause whenever I'm at a light, every stares or asks about it or tells me how sick or cool it looks with White Silver Metallic and black tints. Peace!

  • dudes tank

  • For all those that thing mini coopers look cool/cute... get in one. They SUCK!!! I don't care how great you think the performance is. You're eating your knees in every seat, the clutch is like a goddamn tractor, you can't reach anything on the dash without going off the road, you can't see the gauges behind the wheel, there's no armrests, and the seats are like padded saddles. One of the worst daily drivers ever. Get a Ford Focus before you get one of these BMW-made pieces of shit.

  • @mechmusician i cant believe you just compared a mini to a focus...and said the focus was better

  • @mechmusician

    I guaranty you the Mini community does not want members like you so please don't buy a Mini. I suggest you buy yourself a nice and roomy ford F150 instead and go plow the countryside.

  • @laertrapo Nice job stereotyping, asshole. Maybe try facing the facts and give a positive about the Mini. Or instead of reading reviews, go drive one and then go drive a Focus. See which one you pick. Mini's are to cars what bell-bottoms are to fashion. A pointless fad.

  • Hmmm. Far too many pple here are looking at his big muscles when they should really be looking at the MINI. hahaha.

  • @autywon MEEEEEEEEEEE TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  • watch my R56S Supersprint Catback Video!

    v=KOWJbfAGWrQ

    change the video url on the web bar.

  • We Here At Avant's Automotive Repair in Deerfield Beach Florida now Service and Repair these great little cars. 954-480-6056

  • Back in my hometown my parents have a mini cooper S convertible and we could fit 4 people in it. Me being 5'11", my ex girlfriend 5'4", my cousin 6'6" and his buddy 6'8". Only did it once and wasnt that comfortable

  • i don´t want a gokart.... i want a CAR !

  • They love there Mini's lol. Mini whats? lol

  • Why the hell does he twitch and move around so much, god damn.

  • STUPID ADVERTISEMENT!!

  • 19 people cant afford cooper :P

  • @KubaBooba haha

  • Comment removed

  • Cooper S Good !!

  • @KubaBooba The suspension is rougher than many cars, but it's nothing horrible. The 07+ have a softer suspension than the older models (not as rough and sporty, but still great). There isn't a ton of space back there if you have 6 foot tall people in the front, but I'm 5' 5" and that leaves plenty of room in the back for other people. I've had no issue with taking 4 people. The MINI is it's own beast compared to Smart. MINI is a drivers car. You will enjoy the drive not worry about A to B

  • This car also gets it's handling from one of the best handling companies in the WORLD. BMW. I'd never buy a MINI if some one like Ford bought it off BMW like they did with Land Rover.

  • @guitar1994

    aah ok so its only in the middle, and the spedometer is surrounding it???

    that changes everything, i dont like it that much, but its nicer with navigation in it :)

    thx :)

  • if i saw that guy in that car i would run my car right into his ass.

  • this is why i hate american car shows (i am american) "especially the mini cooper s, whose 1.6 liter turbo-charged motor packs quite a boost." a mini s isnt turbo charged you dip shit, its supercharged. he doesnt even know the car hes reviewing unlike top gear who actually know the car so incredibly well.

  • @dividad1 i created a youtube account just explain to you how ignorant you really are. If you knew anything about what you were talking about before you post things on the internet you would know that the first generation mini had the 1.6L tritec supercharged motor and in 2007 when the second generation of the mini cooper s came out it had the 1.6L prince TURBOCHARGED motor. So before you infect the rest of the internet with your ignorance, please do us all a favor and do a little bit of researc

  • @mdeneso aww you made a youtbe account just for me? thanks i feel so special :)

  • @mdeneso

    lol u mad

  • @dividad1

    No, but really, he's not lying. It is a turbo from 2007 onward. The new turbo allows for more flexibility in modifying the engine. Its a well tuned turbo. Second-third gear is where the power really is and if you're making a turn during that gearshift...omg...yeah, you get the point. yup, I love my mini too much.

  • @qazxnx08 no i understand that, and i know i was wrong. i did my research and admit that i am wrong wrong wrong. my bro has a mini s, its supercharged so naturally i wouldnt think that minis would all of a sudden change to turbo in 2007. he just got so horribly offended that i made a mistake and called the guy on this a dipshit. so much to the point where he actually took time out of his day to make a youtube account just to correct me. HULK SMASH!! i still think top gear is better.

  • it looks like a box, it's ugly.

  • c63 amg wins.

  • I want this car when i have my driving-license... I love it! they say its a girls car, but I dont care... Mini = cool... :) the only pont i think its ignoing, is the big clock on the dashbord in the middle of it, but I just saw a picture of it, tht someone took the clock out, and built a navigation-system in it, so thats a brilliant sullucion ( not THAT good at English, but I know what to do :P ) so my oppinion, I WANT IT! MORE TODAY THEN TOMORROW!

  • @alwinpenterman

    its not a clock. its the spedometer. theres an option to put a navigation system in the middle but the spedometer is still there, surrounding the navi system.

  • my dream car too.

  • gah! this is my dream car. i want it!

  • @DancingPuffers I got this car 2009 year modell 175hp 210NM def worth the money ;)

  • I love my black Cooper S!

  • I want this car so badly, but, my concern is safety. I've watched some crash tests &it seems unsafe :(

  • i don´t like the speed stripes, do they come as standard? hope not :S

  • why do some americans hate hatchbacks and the very few sold in usa (except c30 and mini) are 5 door and an automatic live a little buy a 3 door and lift your kids to the back seat does people good to get the exercise I love minis, a fun and fast car for people with real money and real bills i would love a sports car but i like others cant afford it cars like this are great. an lay of the guy's shirt if your jealous of his muscles keep it to your self looks way better than over sized XL's any day

  • I HATE this car. It raped the heritage & stole the legend of the REAL Mini. It's just another hatchback whereas the ORIGINAL Mini was voted car of the century.

  • One day...one day...

  • what is this bullshit? a fucking streroid monkey talking shit he doesn't understand about a car that's aimed at people that sell houses. there's nothing here. this is no review. it's just a bullshit waste of airtime so he can love himself off on camera and fuck all to do with the car.

    get a job steroid boy cuz you aint making it in tv.

  • @hunghuge12

    Steroid junky? Dude I'm buffer than him and I just lift weights and eat chicken.. he's not even big.

  • I NEED THIS CARRRRRR!!!!!... now.

  • are all of these cars 5speed manuals? or do they come in automatics as well. im obviously talking about the transmission of the car. i cant drive a manual lol..

  • @jrion2

    they come with either a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed automatic

  • @jrion2 It comes Either 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic shiftronic

  • Comment removed

  • @driftx2

    The 2008 was turbocharged you fucking moron

  • what is this back music??

    I like it.

  • I agree he's a total douche

  • @MHKL13 i third that

  • what a douchebag

  • i used to not like this car but now i find it fascinating... i want one... mm

  • his polo-tee is JUST "fitting"~ not small, not big~

    i always wear like this when i'm out n about~

  • Mini's are awesome!!!! I just test drove one and my god; It's a street legal go-kart! I've wanted one ever since I was little, and am about to buy an 04 Cooper S very soon. Most fun car I have ever had the privilage of driving. Period.

    And for anyone that says it's a girls car, drive a cooper s and then try and tell me it's a girls car. It's a fun machine!

  • I love this car.

  • It doesnt have a turbo charger? It's a supercharger isnt it??

  • @plasticpaddy2010 they changed from a supercharger to a turbo

  • @plasticpaddy2010 supercharger up until 2006. then they changed to a twin scroll turbo in 2007 with a new engine for fuel economy reasons.

  • since getting my JCW MINI I cant stop but watch clips of MINI's lol

  • i want a cooper. but...i dislike the interior =\. personal preference. but. look nice =)

  • oh then it must be perfect for you!

  • Ha ha audi a1 hits UK end of year will be getting one as finally there is a better looking little car than lupo gti.

    Peace bitches! X

  • what a wrong choice your making lol.

  • wrong choice would be buying a mini cooper then seeing 7 others on a 20 minute journey. Driving about in my lupo gti havent seen another one for 12 months now i.e RARE = exclusive bitches! And doesnt have loads of contrived publicity to go with it also the knowledge im driving a non "lifestyle" bollocks mini. Peace bitches!

  • Ermmmm JCW GP (seeing 7 in 20mins)......nah i dont think so LOL ..... oh btw the thing about you not seeing another polo becasue NO ONE is buying one, its like why would I buy a polo over a JCW one of the best handing cars of all time, oh and your also saying VW's are rare ahhhhh plz dont make laugh LOOL. MINI only does MINI's no saloon or none of that crap thats been exclusive, now jog along in ur vw hoe looool. oh btw ......truth hurts (thank god muppets like you aint driving MINI's lool)

  • @Chingonshushu Where did i mention JCW GP? MINI COOPERS are common in UK this is fact cant escape it. Where did i mention i drive polo gti? I have owned LUPO GTI for 3 years. How the fuck can a front wheel drive car be one of the best handling cars of all time? Where did i mention VW's are rare? I said VW LUPO GTI is rare due to the fact VW only imported 800 to the UK (including wales scotland and ireland) from 2001 - 2005.

  • Ya-hoo!I'm a Mini Cooper S proud owner!!

  • I envy you so fucking much mate.

  • they're all over compensating for something.

  • I have a 2008 Mini Cooper S near fully loaded, and the only thing that has had to be repaired out of warranty or out of the routine maintenance schedule is when it was backed into another car. My only complaint is that the silver plastic in the car's interior feels a little cheap.

  • you could even change that.... its endless the things you could change in a MINI.

  • My friend just bought one. I am 6-2 280 and he is 6-5 340. We both sat in one and there is room. getting in and out wasn't a problem. Very suprising indeed. And for those of you waiting to comment, no the tires didn't blow and we didn't bust the frame. It is a good car for what it is. But for exactly why he wanted it is beyond me. They are NOT cheap in price.

  • It needs RWD or AWD

  • The best car iv ever owned. Cant fault it.

  • @ineebriate lucky duck cant wait to get one

  • @daezylife

    You'll love it. Best car on the road hon.Have Fun.

  • @daezylife me too!

  • guy's t-shirt is way too small

  • i bet yu all watched he video again

  • @dimegrillz You're right

  • @negait small shirt, small car, small penis...

  • @negait Jersey Shore, fo sho!

  • @negait

    becaue he is a metro- no,... homosexual....

  • @negait It's sexy.

  • Miniman, you may have yourself a lemon! D:

    I know at least 3 people who own Minis and they have had no problems with them yet. One of them lives in Minneapolis, -20 degree weather and it's only had to go in once for maintenance! Which is unusual, because Minis aren't really great winter cars.

    I hope things start turning around for you!

  • i just have to say, this car is a lot of fun, but dont be fooled. this car will have you going to the garage on a weekly basis, it is rollercoster like, but the harder you drive it the more shit will go wrong with it. fun to drive yes, nice to look at it yes, expensive yes, hard on tires yes, hard on the pocket book yes, take it from someone who ones one.

  • mmm im thnking on getting my first car on december 11, and today i went to the dealer and i saw a mino copper S, manual and stuff, and idk if i would like to buy it, i like fast cars tho, and this one seems fast, what u guys think ???

  • BUY IT

    i bought it 3 weeks ago

    its amazing

  • i was also checking on a 2005 mustang manual is cool 2 but i cant decide :'(

  • mini cooper S FORSURE

    like no doubt bro

    the fun youll have is unbelieveable

    and the speed is alsoo amazingg1!!

  • the mustang can't go round corners

  • now i got 3 options, the mini, mustang or mitsubishi eclipse the last model :S

  • mini. without a doubt. as long as it's not a shitty colour! sometimes their colours make them look like toys, but if you get a classy colour, you can't go wrong with a mini.

  • the one i saw at the dealer is like dark grey, with 2 black stripes

  • that is the best colour combination in my eyes!!! that's my dream mini! what a coincidence. dark grey with bonnet stripes. sooo nice.

  • :S that one is on my top options, i will try to get the mitsubishi eclipse gt 2009, thats a super awesome car, if not then mustang gt or mini s =]

  • thats what i have! w/ black interior. i love it

  • mini is best on gas and is a personal roller coaster at your disposal. test drive one.

  • but im kind of big, lol im 6'1" and i weight like 210, so i wont look good on it would i?

  • I think you would fit, my dad is bigger than that and fits in one easy and now he might by one!

  • he is gonna buy u one ?? awesome dude, sweet

  • @cubanopati

    I'm 6'4" ~230 and it's very comfortable. Much more so than a 2010 Matrix or Mazda 3.

  • Well, it really depends on your personal geometry. Some big people fit great is some small cars, some small people fit too. The opposite is also true; some big folks fit better in larger cars and vice versa. You just need to get in and drive. One of my buddies is over 6ft, in his late 50s and is able to get into the backseat even and be comfortable. Just try it out.

  • haha yeah im a test drive this baby one of this days =]

  • Agreed

  • 27 hundred pounds what is that in kilogram?

    CarSanook!

    Bangkok

  • 1225 kg (google conversion calculator)

  • I love my MINI :)

  • @thatsmynamedude mee to! even if it isn't a cooper!!!

  • i want to buy it :(.

  • i want a mini for my first car, i am only 17

  • Don't do it. Terrorists drive Japanese cars, Bin Laden has a Toyota!

  • YOUR MOM'S A TERRORIST! Good game sjpb1982 or as I like to call you super joke poop brain 1982! Mini's are built by BMW a german company. Also why would Bin Laden drive a toyota? Do they even sell them over there? Epic fail!

  • Have you seen the footage of Afghanistan, they all drive Toyotas. See a terrorist, see a toyota. Japanese cars are shit and for people who cannot afford a decent car, like a terrorist. By the way I am fully aware of who builds the Mini.

  • minis dont look right in ameriaca, uk all the way

  • no man dont bet on it as soon as the movie Italion Job came out there started to be a massive rise in Minis now you cant go outside without seeing one

  • lol yeh, my mum bought one the first month they got released in england, now they are as common as muck

  • yea it almost sucks because i thought they'd be kinda a secret car because after i saw the italian job but nnoooooo everyone has to have them

  • they are such fun cars...and the mini dealer gives unlimited free car washes...what's better than that??

    all the volkswagen dealers do is basically charge you a minimum of $300 for just driving onto the lot...

  • yhea baby!!!

    i'mma get me a mini!!!

  • Sexy car, i love it...

  • eu num intendi o que ele falou!!!!!!

  • yeah this car pushes hard

  • They pull so fast its amazing :D

  • mini coopers are my fav cars

  • mini cooper i think i've fallen in love with u ^.^

  • Comment removed

  • The way you worded that really asserts your intelligence. Well done.

  • mini rulez!!!!

  • mini's are good but their too small, if you get hit by another car, you are definatley going airborne

  • No. Mini are very safe. Go check the crash test of the mini. It passed the Euro Crash Tests above average. More than average. It seems small from out side. But it is pretty wide inside. I Think it's because of the shape of the mini

  • 4 and 5 star crash ratings and they are actually really heavy for their size, 3000lbs

  • no me gustan Mucho

    Prefiero El BMW

  • Mini es BMW dumbass.

  • MINIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • absolute class car!!

  • Funny how they emphasize the size of the Mini so much.

    Are there no other small cars on the US Market?

  • Yeah there are but the emphasize the mini cooper's size because its so small and light for a relatively big engine. Horsepower means nothing if its not compared to weight. So basically 150 horse power on a heavy ass mustang will not move the car... but that same horsepower on a light mini is like a flea with a jet pack

  • yeah there are but not much with it power, sport, and fuel economy.

  • I LOVE MINI COOPER

  • lol MINI is a super car killer in a hellish traffic such as LA

  • Looks like a Hobit beside a Mini.

  • Since 2007 they have been turbocharged.

  • the new one is turbocharged!

  • Yeah they used to be supercharged and i kinda wish they still were.

    The sound of the superchargers with a cold air intake just reeks character

  • honestly, I have had the supercharged and now have the turbo and i personally prefer the turbo! Everyone has their own oppinion though i suppose.

  • haha well im prejudiced as my mini is supercharged, but i couldnt live without the trademark supercharger whine. Just sounds amazing

  • I love them all to be honest, have you drove the new turbo? Can't beat the feeling and sheer rip from the exhuasts. I am not doubting the old shaped one but I just prefer the turbo, its all preferance i supose. It wouldnt do if we were all the same haha

  • No, i havent had the priveldge to drive it yet but ive had a ride in one and they seem like a blast. Im sure they have quite a bit more torque which must be nice

  • Yeah, they do have a bit more torque, extremely fun to drive- but what mini isn't lol

  • I`m between and Audi A3 1.8T and a Mini Cooper S, but I think Mini is going to be the winner. Hard to decide.

  • i feel the same way...m leaning towards the mini coz its cooler but i like the A3 and its all wheel drive...audi for my snowboard sessions seems more practical. but i dont know A3 seems so expensive. huge negative.

  • lo mejor es el mini

  • I LOVE MINI!!!

  • Happy Birthday Mini...

  • great car but I hate the flash gordon interior.What's with the door,it's so fucking stupid.Can't bmw offer an L version with burl dash and connelly leather in a traditional english coach design.

  • i have one its a 2009 mini cooper s its is the funnest car to drive i love myn

  • no offence, but are you gay, im just wondering because i want one but im not gay.
