How Reliable Is The MINI John Cooper Works?

Jcw pro exhaust!!!!

Post different mini evrnts being held and would like to see videos of them .that would be great

I think the white circle on the bonnet detracts from a clean look. But still a great looking car! Hope you get to enjoy it for the years ahead

I own a 2022 Mini Countryman JCW with 16000 miles. I’ve had the steering column replaced, a creaking sound appeared after this repair that took 3 visits to fix, one of the ALL4 badges came loose and had to be replaced, and a turning light located near the side vent needed to be replaced. That said, I still love the car and Vista Mini in Florida has been great. Everything was covered under warranty. Also, the run flat tires it came with only lasted about 15,000 miles. I replaced them with Toyo Open Country 225/55R18’s. They look way better IMHO. I hope this helps. Thanks.

I feel like this generation of Mini is pretty solid. I have a 2017 Clubman S All4 and it’s been solid.
Currently at 138k and still going strong.

It would be cool video if you took a trip with some clubs. It could open up new topics as far as twisty roads that only the clubs know of. Also would be awesome to have the miniac in person. Great channel keep up the good work

They came a long way and reliability has come a long way, nice review

Here’s what I did I put HRE wheels $14,000 worth of wheels and tires Hyae ceramic coated the entire car put clear bra on the front hood eliminating all your chips you’re talking about including the headlights the black trim up by the front windshield and a couple other side scuttle Areas all in clear bra by Fine lab. The car is coded in seven year fine Lab the windshield and all the glass is coated in ceramic. Also all the stripes and the top of the car is in reflective 3M including the belt handles to open the car and the inside and outside of the wheels, I applied Avalon king to the edges of the doors inside of the hood. Everything is coded with ceramic when I say 22,000 worth of extras that’s not including the amount of time it took to do all this stuff I had Stephen Kearney with Carbon Wraps Orlando apply all the stripes and he did it three times until I totally loved it. The top of the car is even coded in white reflective so at night check out the video, it blows by my car or tell somebody else to call me I will get back with you I really need to sell it it list for $34,000. I want 38 nine that does not cover any of the extras. Totally wonderful one owner and I do love minis. This is the third Mini I owned it was purchased in Orlando Florida from my buddies there and they have the wrap sheet and sodas Mini Cooper in North Carolina. I love these cars make me an offer I will not refuse. Thanks.

Your MINI looks incredible. I love the stripes and number circle. Wow! I think checkered mirror caps in the same yellow as the bonnet stripes would look pretty cool too

I bought my 2019 JCW back in December 2021, had no problems with it soo far!

I have a 2013 R56 MINI, around 70K miles on it, and it's only started to have a couple of issues creep in within the last year or so, and I've barely babied the car. Basic stuff like brake pads, tyres, etc, the biggest being a wheel speed sensor fail. My last MINI was an R53 and that had a head gasket go. A big job to get repaired, but you can find replacement engines for pretty cheap, and tbh that was an issue that was all my fault (not putting enough water and oil in it like an idiot. I was a silly kid) that could've been averted if I'd have looked after the car a bit more. So in my experience, MINIs are pretty damn reliable.

I'm looking to go back to an R53 next, this time a Cooper S, and make it a bit of a project car - I want to learn to upgrade it by myself. Even if I were to get something "more practical" as an everyday car, I couldn't bear not having my little gokart for weekend drives.

Whic coilovers do you mount in your car

I had a 2003 S and put 125K miles on it over 10 years. I loved that car and miss it to this day. Currently looking at 20-23 Cooper S models. Thanks for a great video.

Livery looks great on that color. I like how you did the white headlight rings to match the white circles of the livery.

If you plan to get rid of those wheels let me know.

I bought a used 2016 Cooper S and It's also been extremely reliable but my brakes are also starting to squeal. The dealer who sold it (subaru) said they did rotors/pads but I don't know.

If presenting your vehicle suggest to clean the engine compartment......Easy PZ to do

You’ve prob answered this before, but which OZ wheels have you on our JCW and size?
My wife loves her 2023 JCW. Chilli Red, Black roof and caps with prem plus pack. Hi from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

BMW has to up the power to match the JCW Clubman's 300bhp you can't have the estate version ending it's current model with more power than the Hatch JCW's version it goes against what we all got brought up to expect?

Great vid. the LCI 2 JCW is the best looking F series.
