MINI Cooper (Compacts Pt.3) - Everyday Driver

The 500 may mark the return of the Fiat brand to the US, but the MINI pioneered the small car segment for American enthusiasts. How does the old car of the group stand up to new competition from the 500 & Honda CR-Z? The guys drive and debate the results.

Can we Please get a video on the Mercedes E63 AMG or SLK???? Why no Mercedes?

[EverydayDriver]

@sofleye23 - The short answer is... price. Most enthusiast focused Mercedes cost above our 50k limit for the show. Both the E63AMG and any version of the SLK are above 50k.

However, with our upcoming introduction of "Exotic Driver" it will open up our options to get in a hot Merc now and then. Thanks for watching and commenting!

PLEASE TELL ME EVERYDAYDRIVER where did you film this? It is so beautiful I am going to visit California this winter and would like to visit this area.

[EverydayDriver]

@TheThedragonwarrior - Most of our shoots happen in Southern California, within 50 miles of LA. This particular shoot was in the Malibu area. In fact, you can see Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway, a few times in the Fiat piece. Lots of amazing roads in that area.

They complain about the fiats ride meanwhile nothing about the mini.

[koovidsrcool]

where do you guys get these cars to test? do you like rent them or something? im really interested in finding out

[Jakeness21]

They forgot to mention the Fiat will certainly be the least reliable by a significant margin.

@DrRockso2395 golf is considered a hot hatch because of the turbo. none of these have turbos.

I'm genuinely impressed that you found a CVT non-S Cooper with that much mileage that still...works. Most of the time the CVT craps out. That car's pretty much just a ticking time bomb.

i have the same mini. 2003 non-s automatic ( :P i wish it was stick). but still, 8 years old and my car is still kicking ass and showing this new crop how it should be done...

[DrRockso2395]

why no golf?

[topro4u]

Why dont you guys do old cars as a series like Rx-7's , honda Ek9 hatchbacks, and Toyota AE86's?

[KPKaccountt]

what location is this ?

@guitarteacher1993 Then the only conclusion I can come up with is that you're blind. Look at the tires of the MINI in the video... THEY ARE YOKOHAMA. MINI's never came stock with this brand of tire. Show me a picture with a stock MINI with those specific wheels. Look at the wheel well space at the MINI in the video - there is nearly no gap whatsoever... now show me a STOCK MINI with that ride height. I bet you can't find one. It's sad that a MINI owner is so ignorant of his own vehicle.
