Came a long way from reviewing cars at local dealers to now reviewing super cars and really nice other ones at dealers around the u.s. ..I know I don't know you at all but I'm proud of you and I am forever a fan.
Considering your comment was posted about 4 years ago, I'd like to ask, how did your Clubman end up being? Did you experience any of the many problems other reviewers leave about the Mini? Would you recommend it?
I love the door/seatbelt chime in this car. I believe this chime is in the 2015 Hardtop models as well. If only there was an audio file of it somewhere because I want it as a ringtone 😭
Kyle, why is it that some Mini Cooper models have a hood with the headlights attached that lift up along with it when you open it and models like this have the headlights mounted to the front? Sly
I love the Mini Cooper, but i prefer the traditional hatchback. I'd love to have a brand new Mini Cooper S in british racing green. Also, Kyle- I was just wondering, have you driven any 2007 & newer mini coopers? If so, which do you think is more fun to drive, new-gen or pre-2007?
Nice Kyle But I Went To The L.A Auto Show Videos Too Lots Of Nice Cars Are Coming Out Some You Made Videos Of Some Not. + Nice But Just Don't Lay Down In The Back It Hurts Man.
I love Minis. I had a Mini 30 and a Mini Cooper back in England. I would love one now as a second car, just not big enough for 3 adults and an English Mastiff.
Ok I'm kinda skeptical about which types of cars I should consider getting. Used or new. I'm debating a Mini But what cars would be good for say a 17 year old driver? @saabkyle04
About how much do these go for at the moment? I'm looking to sell one; it has under 30k miles, blow off valve, borla mufflers, carbon fiber exhaust tips, and an AEM cold air intake system. Thanks!
That is what I have been trying to tell people, when I tell them I wanna buy a Clubman.... They say I should have my man card revoked for buying a girls car... All I can say is it is an object, it has no sex.... I then ask does that mean I can't keep my 2010 Camaro SS or my other cars?
nice review! im excited to get. my hands on a 2013 Bond Street edition club man and this review is the only thing that boost my ego to go on with the deal im getting.
@slyguyaction i doubt it since the lights arent actually moving at all relative to the hood and since the hood would always shut back into the same place the headlights shouldnt be messed with at all. maybe if you slam the hood it might from the force but other than that it shouldnt affect it
@slyguyaction because they are different generations. the 1st generation of BMW Minis which i think is 2001-2007 have the headlights attached to the bonnet aka hood. the later models have headlamps "embedded" into the car itself
@srkennedy95 I don't that there's any difference between pre and post 2007 MINIs. It was basically just a minor facelift. The biggest updates were a slightly updated, remodeled interior as well as a range of new/updated engines with better economy and sometimes slightly more power (about +10HP). Everything else basically remained unchaged, including the chassis, suspension and weight. So nah, there's no difference in handling between 1st and 2nd gen MINIs ;)
the engine on the the 2008-present Mini Cooper Clubman Engine 1.6L I4 (One/Cooper) 1.6L Prince turbocharged I4 (Cooper S) 1.6L BMW N47 diesel I4 (Cooper D and One D)
@krakmxer The countryman is much larger (relative to Minis) and offers 4 doors and 4 individual seats. The center console is different but the untrained eye would barely notice. The countryman also has and AWD option. It is also more expensive and its ride is a bit different since it has a higher ground clearance and more weight
"Hey everybody how's it goin?" "Today, let's take a detailed look at the (insert car name)" "This is going to be a full, in-depth tour of the (car name)" "We'll start it up, show the engine, go over the performance data, get an exhaust clip, and go over a bunch of the features of the interior as well as the exterior" "And so, without further ado, let's go ahead and start it up; let it run. " "(exterior color)" "(interior style)" *Start Engine* *Revv engine* *Show exhaust* *steering wheel* etc
And also, minis have a second hidden glovebox in the middle of the passenger air vents, you just need to push to open it. You haven't showed them on your mini videos.
@gothops154 Ok. Thanks for clearing that up. Either way is cool, but I think the headlights would tend to come out of adjustment easier when attached to the hood. Each opening and closing might change the aim...
wow, if the pink wasn't in this car, I would definitely drive it. Seems like a great car to drive. ;p I love that there is not an annoying buzzer bleeding your ears out when you turn the car on. >.
