Mini John Cooper Works F66

“the engine which in this is absolutely explosive and in fact your in gear shove even from ridiculous speeds is just ridiculous.”

“This does have a 2 L turbocharged 4cylinder, 228 horsepower, 280 pound feet of torque, which is, you know, that torque is is is pretty good.”

“Unsurprisingly, I'm disappointed in Mini. This is the John Cooper Works one. It's supposed to be the fast, sporty one, and it really isn't.”

“The response from the block to the steering is that the car is indeed very focused, and here, in a Mini, I can already say it's a go-kart feeling.”

“steering input is the response to steering input rather is almost immediate. And as a result, it means that when you do want to change direction, it does so with an elacrity and response that is just truly like nothing else.”

“The handling is is great. It's very tight. It's very sporty.”

“I don't know that I would necessarily want like a muscle car in convertible form. I don't think I would want like a sports car in convertible form. I think this is like on the brink of sports car, the JCW version.”

“This is always fun. And it's like a pill that gives you energy in some way. That's what this car stands for. It's just a energy pill.”

“This JCW isn't trying to be the best hot hatch, it's trying to be the most fun. And as far as I'm concerned, mission absolutely accomplished.”

“It's so stiff that unless you're on a perfectly paved surface, it is borderline untolerable.”

“I could see this being a very comfortable daily driver. It's very well insulated.”

“If you have any sort of back pain, I would say no. I would um No. If you're in your 20s, sure.”

“at under 750,000 rand in today's market, it might just be the best value premium performance bargain left on sale.”

“And it's a pretty pricey car, 479,000 Swedish crowns, um and when you add on little packages, it's over half a million Swedish crowns”

“You don't buy this for value. You buy it for character and mini.”
