Well done BMW, you have finally managed to kill every part of what the Mini was designed and built for. The size, buying the John Cooper name only, (they can't even respect that Coopers always had WHITE roofs), and now even the price is a joke. BMW calling this a Mini is a disgrace of the corporate world. Progress?? If costing people off the roads s your mission....yes. This car has never been more than a terrible facsimile.

Fair. Of course it would have been better if Honda (or someone else) had bought Austin Rover (and even brought Jaguar back into the fold from Ford too) instead of British Aerospace and then BMW and then SAIC and others. *BUT* As long as the factory still exists and keeps people in work, that's what matters, no? The Longbridge plant might be gone and the Honda Swindon plant is now gone, but it's good that at least *some* British Leyland factories are still going, surely (be it MINI Oxford or Jaguar Land Rover Solihull & Wolverhampton and some of the supply chain factories)? 🙂 If Honda owned MINI, then perhaps MINI could be a Kei car based on the Honda N-One similar to the cutesy Suzuki Lapin. But would people actually buy a 660cc or 1000cc pint-sized Mini Cooper in this day and age? I'm not sure. There isn't viewed to be a market for other Kei cars in the UK and they don't meet UK crash or emissions regulations unfortunately. The increase in size of the R53 MINI was partly due to meeting crash regulations and adding crumple zones, though further size increases since then are indeed unfortunate.

If you roughly calculate how much money you will spend on petrol every year and how long you intend to keep the car, the petrol Mini may work out to be cheaper. Example: if we spend £1,200 yearly and intend to keep the car for 7 years = £8,400 then if you put that on top of the 23k petrol model it becomes 31.4k which can get you a top spec model and still be cheaper than the electric model. There are also costs of servicing and MOTs but those can be netted off with the cost of electricity which is probably even higher.

I wish reviews would stop saying negative things about cars that aren't 5 doors or sit 5 people and takes large baby seats, with large boots etc. Believe it or not not everyone is looking for a big car that fits a family of 12 and can take 25 carry-on cases in the boot, doesn't mean it's a less practical car or less of a product, it just means it is aimed at a different market that's all and should be compared to others in the same market. I hate that cars are classed as not good unless they get bigger and bigger with each regeneration.

@WetPig I get what u are saying, but some folks are happy to spend 42k on a small luxury car with all the bells and whistles. Look how successful the original BMW 1 series, the Audi A1 and the 2nd Gen Mini were. There is a market for what people perceive to be luxury small cars. Sadly all of them got bigger and bigger and are pretty much the size of 1 or 2 classes above now. Some people don't have kids or have a need for bigger cars, but like to have nice things. Smaller does always need to be cheaper plastics or not fancy kit etc.

the front grill kinda looks like a huge BMW grill. it is expensive, but what makes a car, a car, must be present. motor, batteries, windows, airbags, breaks, seats.... what lacks is 200 kilos of metal to make it longer and bigger in the boot. but two doors don't save that much money on a car build. like in a house, you still need a kitchen, and baths.... adding some square metres for an empty, no plumbing, or special water treatment, to call a big living room, doesn't cost much extra. Smaller might even be more expensive because you must package it better for serviceability, crash safety and so on. went to check one out yesterday, it'a a good little car. Great review, love the jokes, some energy efficiency numbers would be awesome, I can't seem to find a review with that in mind.

If you roughly calculate how much money you will spend on petrol every year and how long you intend to keep the car, the petrol Mini may work out to be cheaper. Example: if we spend £1,200 yearly and intend to keep the car for 7 years = £8,400 then if you put that on top of the 23k petrol model it becomes 31.4k which can get you a top spec model and still be cheaper than the electric model. There are also costs of servicing and MOTs but those can be netted with the cost of electricity which is probably even higher.

I dont know why they would put the works name on the car when its lacking performance compared to pretty average electric cars today. I dont think putting the name on an electric car is the problem because its proven more often than not today that EV's can be bat shit crazy quick with sporty handling (ioniq 5 N for example), the problem is its no quicker than a JCW mini from 2008 and in 2008 that performance was impressive but you can get electric cars today more competitive on price, far more practical and even much heavier smashing this thing. It should have been dual motor or rear wheel drive at least. I quite like the look of the new renault 5 and im hoping when they inevitably do a hot version they just go nuts with it like hyundai do these days with their N cars, make it a modern day sleeper on the road and capture what made the old 5 turbo cool for its time.

This isn't the JCW, it's the bodykit that comes on the Sport trim. Been the same for a while now, you could have the F56 or F55 in Cooper (not S) trim with the JCW bodykit, badges, wheels, and seats. No different to M-Sport on a BMW. The real JCW electric will be out later.

@@olliewebbuk ahh i see, i was not aware you could get a JCW bodykit as an option... that makes it even worse to be honest lol. The M sport example i guess is a good one, but... M sport is different from M cars as far as model differentiation goes i believe? If you go to BMW today you can buy an M-sport model but it comes below the M cars. JCW was always the hotter version of the cooper S. To be able to buy a mini now that is effectively a fake JCW is nasty and tarnishes what JCW was all about... would be like buying a BMW 2 series and being able to have it specced from factory with M badges, thats trash. But i get what you are saying, just hate that.

I think thats a bit of a large claim. There have been quite a few unfortunate uses of names over the years. This is in essence still a small (still small compared to other things on the road - check out the new M5 for instance) 4 seater where things like the Mustang went from being a cool coupe to an electric suv. Other "retro" designs have also been largely just remodelled versions of other cars so the Fiat 500 was largely just a rebodied Panda, the VW Beetle was a Golf in a frock and so on. For all their faults Mini are still one of the better brands so far as sticking to their origins. Remember even Porsche and Ferrari now make suv's.

We only have the top model JCW (218hp w/ 54.2kWh battery capacity) available in Hong Kong and is selling at equivalent to 31,200 pounds (early bird at 28,100 pounds). Though we waive certain percentage on electric car's first registration tax and so that could be why it is cheaper here. Driving the F56 SE and quite like it actually. Great city car in a small city where range anxiety is minimal.
