"The MINI John Cooper Works fast enough larger hot to care tailgates -. Only the cost of the options to be aware of"
the most powerful production MINI can buy, does the MINI John Cooper the ante hatchback ups from the Cooper S and serves as the flagship of the range. The other indication of its potency is that it uses the name of one of the biggest influences on this small car history -. Engine builder John Cooper
The JCW on the famous MINI brand building with "Go-kart" handling suspension stiffer and less than other models and a more powerful version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine of the Cooper S.
Its dimensions are the same as the rest of the range, the rear passenger compartment is still close and the shoe size is not much to write about. However, the JCW has come up with unique styling additions, including a chunky bodykit, smart alloy wheels and flashes red, including an optional red roof. A Harman Kardon stereo can also be included
Less than a Golf GTI, the JCW is a better match for cars like the Audi S1 and Abarth 595 Competizione -. A hot version of the email Fiat 500 city car. The JCW starts at just over £ 23,000 - £ 2,000 cheaper than the S1, but about £ 2,000 more expensive than the Abarth. And it's a massive £ 5,500 more than the cheapest version of our favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST
In fact, the price is probably the most contentious issue. The JCW is definitely a fun car, but the Cooper S costs about £ 5,000 less, and nearly so to drive a lot of fun. the JCW is a rare sight on the road, and that "the most powerful MINI 'Day gives you but serious bragging be.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs
-
fuel is given surprisingly decent sporting intentions of JCW
the rest of the MINI hatchback area has some very efficient engines and even the 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline in the JCW is relatively economical -. particularly the performance on offer, taking into account
In conjunction with the six ~~ POS = TRUNC Steptronic automatic transmission equipped, it is capable of is to 49.6mpg and 133g / km of CO2 emitted. The six-speed manual version is less efficient and costs £ 1,300 more. Despite this, still 42.2mpg and 155g / km emitted, for £ 180-a-year road tax. In addition, the manual version is probably more fun to drive.
insurance premiums will be high, too, but MINI has a very a good five years / 50,000-mile TLC service package, the maintenance costs to a minimum Keep helps.
A high price prevents it here better scoring. The JCW cost some £ 3,500 more than the most expensive Ford Fiesta ST and the gap widens further when you get carried away with optional extras. Although the MINI a good percentage of its value maintains, when you come to sell, you will not get much return on your investment in these options.

motors, drive & Performance
-
the JCW has "go-kart" character, but it affects
engine 2.0-liter turbo in the John Cooper Works is basically the same in the Cooper S used, but it has been updated by MINI engineers and fettled to increase performance by 189 to 228bhp. The sprint from 0-62mph is treated with the six-speed automatic version in 6.1 seconds, and the JCW can manage 153mph flat-out.
Even at low speeds, the increase in performance over the Cooper S be felt as the car, if you are good in too high a gear, and pulling. The six-speed automatic transmission is quick to change up, but hesitated a little, if you want a lower gear, so we would six-speed manual version instead for a more intense driving.
Suggest Switching are slick and rewarding, add an additional layer of interactivity to an already good hot hatch. The JCW is a very entertaining car and has a decent stretch of the MINI character, but the steering makes it a little down - it is well weighted, but lacks overall impression
At least the JCW sounds good ;. the optional sports exhaust on the Cooper S is on this model standard. But it could be stressful if you take it on frequent long motorway journeys on. The run-off valve means that the car makes little clicking noises - fun but not particularly demanding!

Interior & Comfort
-
Funky interior has supportive seats, but the suspension is very stiff
, the JCW gets the same striking interior as other MINIs, with a huge LED light-decorated infotainment system dashboard dominates, along with aircraft-style toggle switches for various functions.
hip seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara put the cabin of the JCW apart from the crowd, along with many red trim. There is also a click wheel (similar to the iDrive system in BMW cars), which controls many of the on-board functions.
The famous stiff suspension in the rest of the MINI range was found hardened further in the JCW model. However, you can use the drive model selector to fine-tune things a bit - in Sport mode the car is enough drive for the racetrack or a B-Road blast, but strengthened in normal, it is a bit less nervous for everyday driving.

practicality & trunk
-
Smaller cars have larger boot space than the MINI JCW Rear
legroom in the JCW is notoriously stingy and made worse by the addition of sporty bucket seats. Headroom is acceptable because of the flat roof of the car, but all in all the rear passengers feel cramped on anything other than a short drive.
boot volume remains small, even with only 211 liters. By comparison, a Volkswagen up! City Car can accommodate more boat but is much smaller on the outside. The rear seats of the MINI can be folded down, the space to improve, but the boat is hardly class leading for a car this size.
The size of the MINI has in his favor expect when parking, but, as its almost flat ends my you should find it easy enough in a narrow space to slot.

reliability and safety
-
Security record is less than perfect, but improve the reliability and satisfaction
the MINI hatch also for reliability in our driver power 2015 customer satisfaction survey, 40th place in this category to take. Total finished ninth Luke, as a buyer, it vowed skills for its performance and driveability. Unsurprisingly, the points Luke also not on functionality, thanks to its small boat. The brand secured a mid-table result of 16th in the manufacturer rankings, which improved in comparison much was achieved on the 30th place in the previous year.
The engine is in the JCW used is similar to that in the Cooper S, as well as some BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW 3 Series models. The JCW feels pretty well put together, a few rough plastics here and save them there.
The MINI hatchback received four out of five stars in Euro NCAP crash test. It did not do enough to earn the maximum rating of five stars, but the tailgate comes with front, side and curtain airbags and electronic stability control.

price, price-performance ratio and options
-
Expensive to buy, but the JCW its value hold
the biggest stumbling block, if you buy a John Cooper Works and do not think as a Cooper S now or one of its rivals is the high price. Priced at £ 23,050, the JCW is more expensive than a Ford Fiesta ST or an Opel Corsa VXR, but does have more power.
However Kit, which is on the car, such as automatic climate control and parking sensors standard is optional on the MINI. The example that we drove more than £ 30,000 Thanks cost to the inclusion of these elements and some other special equipment that are in the eye quantity for each hot an open tears hatchback, let alone a small like the MINI.
on the positive side is JCW a desirable brand in its own right, so you are likely to recoup a greater percentage of your original effort, as you would with a Fiesta or Corsa. But add a few of these expensive options value to your car when you sell.
Hot hatchback fans and drivers alike Trackday at the chance to jump a used Power MINI, especially with the coveted John Cooper Works badge to pick up should be as values remain high.
Research that helps
