Is the 2020 JCW Countryman the MOST powerful Mini ever built? 

Thanks for the review picking mine up next Friday can't wait.

Joe your channel it’s getting bigger and better. Car dealers should be queuing up for you to review their cars! Keep up the great Reviews mate 👌

Awesome. I was looking forward to a review of the new JCW Countryman given the massive increase in hp. Love your comprehensive reviews.

For those that are wondering, one can choose the option for powered seats, and one can also choose Union Jack rear taillights which would be LED.

Looks like my next lease, after I return my JCW CLUBMAN. Thanks.

Great review brother!! I agree with major Zonk for no manual option!! Shout out to big guns! Saw his reflection in that beautiful paint! Nice video 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Very impressive description and drive of the JCW Countryman. More Minis, please, especialy Coopers, Cooper Ss, JCWs and GPs.

💋🚘Love this updated one. I currently have a 2015 JCW countryman. Now with your review it's time for a upgrade. MINI IS SUCH A FUN AND SAFE CAR TO DRIVE.🚘

OMG OMG OMG OMG THANKS JOE FOR THIS AWESOME DROP DEAD GORGEOUS 2020 MINI COOPER COUNTRYMAN ALL4 JCW. This is what I wanted to see and I bet u so did others. I would absolutely love to get 1 of these 1 day. Would love to see a 2020 Mini Cooper Clubman ALL4 JCW. Thanks Joe. Keep up the great work and reviews.

First good car review video i see from a sellsman . Good job

Great review, I could have sworn I was standing there and you were selling me the car! You had me at 301hp haha

Cant wait to see the two door version; great review!

Very nice review!! Great job

Hi! Thank you for your video. What kind of Safety Features does John Cooper Works Countryman 2020 model have?

Joe, that Mini looks like a lot of fun!

Thanks for the review, it is the first one available in the internet!

gr8 intro, thx man cheerio

Love the crackles from exhaust. Hell of a price though....

btw.. 2020 JCW Countryman does have full power seats w/2 preset memory options. just test drove one today too. also the left rear exhaust has a flap that is opened when in sport mode to enhance exhaust note/perf. also does wireless apple carplay and iphone x does fit in the armrest/wireless charging spot. performance is excellent! i currently own a 2013 custom built Cooper S Coupe (R58) and well.. this thing feels good, that ALL4 works well!! exhaust sounds good and most likely even better once its broke in, aka 1500 miles later..mine is queued for build date of oct 2019 so i'm all for more 2020 JCW vids.. :) also.. you can go sport vs jcw seats if you don't want that cloth on seats. ;) lastly.. manual will return but not in 2020.. per BMW press media.. currently is an issue w/it mated to the current updates to engine but i've heard rumors that 2021 will have manuals across the board if technical issues w/new manual is worked out.. :) yea, i'm a total MINIac even more so.. HUD can be fully adjusted.. the numbered buttons below screen can be programmed to any function in the UI like in iDrive. infotainment is literally iDrive w/a mini theme.. a great thing!! sounds in HK system is very good, solid bass and mids and highs.. can get very loud w/o distortion. got to hangout w/a test drive model today while waiting to build my own build. lastly lastly.. you can now order a 2020 JCW F60 w/o any chrome for quite a few pennies.. i got an Island Blue w/Black top and black door handles, front, rear taillights and interior on order to be built in oct... edited: tons of em.. love minis way too much

Whoa that thing is serious🔥🔥

Great review, Joe! Thanks! Pricey but unique. Joe, I am still waiting for your review of the Mini Clubman JCW. Thanks in advance.

Once again Joe a great review!! Always entertaining!! Keep up the outstanding work!!! Have a great weekend God bless ya my brother!!🙏🏻🚙🚘😀

That black/dark vador blue is goregous

I've got a Cooper S Countryman (the JCW was just too expensive). For anybody thinking about one (the Cooper S), make sure you get the all-wheel-drive version because the chassis can't handle the power with just two driven wheels (I only chose it because I didn't need it for snow as we never get more than two days' of snow in the UK, and there is a 10% fuel penalty for the extra weight of the 4WD). With all four wheels driven, they are great (I used to have a 4WD diesel version, but it was lower powered). All the same, I have gotten used to the torque-steer and spinning wheels on my 2WD, and I still love it. BTW, they sound great, but only because the sound is faked by a speaker system (apart from the exhaust pops and dump valve when in sport-mode which are real sounds). It sounds authentic, but it isn't real. But it always puts a stupid grin on your face.

Aye that burple paint tho👌🏾

How is this compared to the JCW Clubman you reckon?

Now that you took it off the lot what is the price now?

Never was a Mini fan but with that much performance and AWD, it’s gotta be a blast to drive. Too bad it comes with a BMW price. Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

This is my next next car! Not this color but oh my! I do worry about the engine longevity. May just get a S, they’re still little rockets for a crossover. Love this video, been waiting for an in depth video of the new engine.

Well that was a Mini I wasn't expecting. Pretty neat. Little pricey but if you're into Minis then there you go.

I realised you did not throw this and the Clubman into reverse.... Wanted to see the camera.... Looks nice.

This car is now a macan competitor in my view. Maybe not the same sleek looks but you’d be hard to find a crossover more fun and special then these two.

I love the countryman. I have a '16.

The video is really good thanks 😊

does this car sit higher or lower than the gla 35/45?

I love everthing about it. Except the price. 😁 I guess i will have to go sorrento and look that out of the windows and just say i love that mini when it pass by. 😂

To be honest I never really gave minis a look. They just look kind of corky to me and a bit to small for me but this one really catches all 4 of my eyes lol. Manual seats is a bit disappointing but wouldn't be a deal breaker. I agree with the zonk for no ventilated seats for almost $50k. Thumbs up on the review Mr. Raiti.

This is the First Mini that I really REALLY like. It's still too small it's still too pricey but it's a way cool fun ride that puts the power to the pavement with a limited-slip front diff AWD system, I like it.

Very Nice, and those are some decent HP number , VW better bump the R's power. I just sold my Golf R but im really liking the JCW Clubman All4 better than the countryman. Great review BTW

Very good review. Right now I own countryman2012 and interested to trade for year 2021. What I don't like is wind noise and loud passenger cabin. Could you remind when you tested drive year2020 if it's still loud in the cabin? Than kyou

I can't drive yet so I was wondering is it harder to drive a bigger vehicle like this than a car??

I'm a fan of the JCW Countryman. We have the 2016 model. Price tag is a bit on the high side, but that's to be expected. Another car I like for this price point is the Kia Stinger GT.

Joe, a Mini Cooper with 301 Horsepower, thats Insane I love it. I never saw something like thats. awsome. Thums up👍 joe thanks for the video. My next door Neighbor have a mini cooper, his going to love this 2020 mini cooper. Joe take care. Be Safe 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I wander why they didn’t update the rear lights to led like that have done with the clubman and the 2 door.

My favorite ride from mini

My only knock is that they discontinued manual transmissions for this. I would still take it off road 😍

Love the world were living in when a Mini has 301hp

This is the only vehicle I can buy also Joe.

I hope I can get one soon, first car!

The venting is actually to cool the brakes as well. Mini is the real deal

From what I hear, you need to be VERY familiar with your service manager at the dealership that sells and services your Mini Cooper.

For anyone that truly knows Mini, knows that the Countryman is not a mini. Not the same driving experience and just doesn’t feel the same. Currently running a John Cooper Works Hatch Convertible which is a lot of fun.

The trend today on 2.0t I4 is MORE ♫ more ♬ more HP Then it would probably break sooner than expected Good review

What was that noise @ 19:54? Anywho I'll keep my R56 for a while with that price, great review thanks.

Originally Mini designed by Alex Ignosis. First car to use front wheel wheel drive, front lateral engine. FIRST car to be designed like this. SO we can thank Ignosis & BMC for almost all cars engine & drive today, My wife had one as her first car in the sixties.

As much as I love these, 47k is hard to swallow for such a small car in the performance range of a Type R, Golf R and Focus Rs. All of those could be had (well except the RS which is no longer on sale) for 7-8k less. Hell, you can get a mediumly optioned Kia Stinger GT for the same price.

The greatest zonk with the car is definitely the lack of a manual - it's not very Mini like to begin with. I'm still deciding in my head if the previous JCW Countryman with the manual and less power is the better option. I almost feel like the manual might be the more fun option for an enthusiast

Really need to do some sort of anti flicker setting on the camera so the screens and lights don’t flicker so much.

Did I hear rev matching a couple times?

It’s like the e46 m3 carbon black colour. Black, but a bit blue under certain lighting

How much Mini JCW COUNTYMAN? let me know. Thanks

I like the car but not the price. 👍0-60 4.7👍AWD👍 👍💯video💯👍

That huge circle in the middle of the dash has always been a huge "Zonk" in my opinion. I know, opinions are like arm pits, we all have them.

MORE MINI

MPG?

They need to make an awd mini cooper

Auto or CVT ?

I think that the flat black trim around the fenders is a bit to large for this small vehicle.

super great content god bless brother great job Joe love it keep up the great work PS, u get a chance to send that out to me please

Funny I watched the clubman video and commented it needed AWD..lol

Nice to see the absence of indicators.

Does it have the 1971 Plymouth roadrunner grille ? 🤔

You speak of those curves in the road as if they're hard-core chiccanes. A 1980s Lada would also be smooth along that road...

Side by side with an original Countryman.... the increase in size would blow the minds of a whole (younger) generation.

4,7sec wishing it has 306bhp in Germany... Enigmatic Black and it will do 0-62mph in 5,1 so how is this one with 301bhp faster⁉️ still awesome review...it’s my color

Those rear seats don't do "the 60:40 split". They're 40:20:40.

I want one but the price 😪 I drove one.. the 3Clyinder & I had a bunch of fun. I can only imagine the 301 horsepower ☺️

When Mini will start making them reliable?? I don't need to tow my camper behind it but want this little thing to be reliable.

Look at the badge and look at the badging

I love love love lovvvvveee this EXACT! Configuration, I noticed though in some videos they say this a "regular" John Cooper Works edition , is this the John Coopers works with the Classic Trim if so is this a "New" Common Color or only on the John Cooper Works 2020 Classic Trim how do you tell the difference is it because of how the red trim of the grill goes around the grill ? Also can I find this exact trim configured like this ... Just like this at a Mini Dealership or I have to have it especially configured in this trim specification , Can you Mini people talk about that like do we have to call a Mini. Dealership tell them what we Looking for or they most like have that Enigmatic Black in Classic John Cooper Works trim on a car lot at least a few of them in This color just like this with the John Cooper Works seats for the 2020 Model year , this my like 4th time watching this video I especially in love with the deep purple-ish -blue color??

I'm going to submit a "Zonk" on those overly large fender trim pieces.

Again. That big circle in the middle of the dash looks "crappy". Comprende?

Drove a regular mini before, 2 things I don't like it's the car is too stiff/bumpy and steering wheel is kind of heavy

Nice JCW mini sir 🤠👍🏻👍🏻 ,. Thank you 🙏🏻 and for myself.. If I want speed I’ll pay a bit more to get a M2, If I want all wheel 4 seaters I’ll get a Lexus RX,... If I want a mini, Cooper S cab is my choice ☺️☺️☺️

I can't let it go. The 19" wheels look like 14" wheels because of those huge fender trim pieces. "Zonk"!

Such a shame that there’s no manual transmission

Maybe for a production mini you know this guy had a more powerful one for himself

Good reveiw this new product increases minis dip in the segment but reliabity depreciation is a disaster

I would zonk them on those 2 windshield washer pimples on the hood. They should have hidden them. Otherwise, quite impressive.

I love this car it’s my dream car but there is no way i’m buying it with no 360 degrees cameras like most of the cars of the same price

I was questing about the the prices $29k but it’s $49k 😫

Hmm. Everything is great. But over 49 thousand for a Mini is little hard to get over...

Joe would anyone spend 50k for 301hp? 😂 it looks good and pretty luxurious but come on

0-60 ??

Ewww Automatic.... IDK but thats an automatic No. I have a 2017 Countryman S ALL4 and Its manual. I love it. I dont know whats with the shift of removing manuals from face of the earth but I will keep this forever. Thanks for the video Brother. I also have a 2019 STI, and I just hope Subaru doesnt push their STI's into automatic :(

go to Canada and buy Mini there, way cheaper ! You are welcome !

Not sure they can put the manual in due to EU Emission regulations. Shame as a manual would be far more engaging and fun to drive.

Why is the US getting lower horsepower numbers than Europe?

Nice car but, Dude it looks like you are far exceeding the 30 mph speed limit in a sleepy residential area. Glad you didn't hit anybody.

"You get a very nice jolt every time you shift". Eh what? Nobody wants that. The whole point is that it should be smooth.
