MINI2

Not had a chance to see or drive the new mini yet (I know, I know) but I have been reading the posts on here and especially Paul's write ups. I did a search on youtube and it came up with the following:

YouTube - Test drive MINI COOPER S 2007 R56

Quite good, if only to highlight the rough tick over when the bonnet is open!

YouTube - Mini Cooper S R56

Also worth watching.

Apolgies if this contravenes any forum rules!

rec · Nov 30th, 2006, 09:13 PM

all peugeot engines do that !

Hannibales · Nov 30th, 2006, 09:22 PM

That guy doesnt like his tyres very much! I'm not too bothered by any noise at tick over.....just gives me even more reason to rev it!

LMB · Nov 30th, 2006, 09:28 PM

What annoying music.

Thanks for sharing though.

MickCooperS · Nov 30th, 2006, 09:29 PM

I still prefer my R53 even with the porn music dub over

Seeing it accelerating on the motorway like that makes you realise how quick it is

AMT · Dec 1st, 2006, 12:03 AM

Yea, it looked incredibly quick

Seeing a video of it in real world conditions is nice (for someone like me yet to take a test drive!)

It just doesn't give the great soundtrack of my JCW S! I'll see if I can post a comparison over the weekend on Youtube!

Also, that engine rattle!!!

I thought the R53 's engine was the more "agricultural" one!

Looks like it goes well though!

The more I see of that interior, the more it grows on me. Still not sure about the lower controls though.

Hannibales · Dec 1st, 2006, 09:02 AM

Loads of engines rattle at tickover....virtually every ferrrari ever made, not to mention lambos and lots of other high performance cars as well as classic racing cars. Give them some revs and all that vanishes into a glorious noise that makes you cry with joy! Sure, the new engine has modern technology and so "shouldn't make tractor noises", but underneath it's a 4 pot with a turbo. How much more classic an engine can you get?

Maybe one day you could get one of these in your MCS!

R1 · Dec 1st, 2006, 09:42 AM

Nah not interested.

No supercharger!

Actually, why didn't BMW/MINI do what VW did with the golf and put a supercharger and a turbo on the new MINI. I think the supercharger was as much of a design icon of the S as the rest of the styling of the car! They missed out on that one IMO.

I'd be interested to see the comparision.

The engine does rattle a lot, but then the M5 sounds like a bag of nails and that does alright

Spamini · Dec 1st, 2006, 11:43 AM

Is it just the cooper s that rattles a lot? My cooper R56 doesn't sound like that!

Did your R56 Cooper come with any sounddeading under the bonnet?

Anyone not hoping that he was on an autobahn?? Look at his speedo, the pointer was trying to break out of it!

Does look impressively quick though. Makes my 06 Cooper look like Citroen 2CV

I don't remember seeing any when I lifted the bonnet. Sometimes it runs so quiet at the traffic lights I think it has stalled!
