Thanks for sharing!

I'll be interested in knowing how the sports seats work out over time, especially on a long drive.

Hopefully your pooch survives :-)

Excellent video! Covered everything I could possibly think of and the car looks fantastic. You didn't seem too happy about the random dog jumping on the car though.

neighbors dog...she gets in the trash and jumps up on cars. But she is sweet. Good thing she didn't scratch my mini though.

Awesome job, Steve! Very informative, especially covering the MINI Connected. You covered a lot of questions I had about it and I'm glad I ordered it for mine. And congrats on taking the car home. Looks great!

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to create the video. Heading out this Sat to a Mini Launch event for a hands on look. Best of luck with the new ride. I'm considering trading my 328 for the MCS in the fall. Am anxious to hear if your MCS continues to meet your expectations. Thanks again

Thanks for taking the time to do this - really enjoyed the unbiased, informative and entertaining video.
(I think Mini owes you some freebies as you may have sold some folks...minus the smokers package :>))
Happy motoring!

Best,

George

Thank god for the internet and online forums! Thank you Steve also. Without any of these we'd be suffering alone waiting for our respective vehicles.

Steve,

I appreciate you taking the time for us poor folks still waiting in line. I'd have wanted to be out driving around myself. I didn't know there was a compartment on the right there under the white cover - cool. I'd have a word or two with the neighbors dog about new car protocol.

Cheers,
Paul_F

Steve. OMG that was quite the presentation! Are you sure you are not a TV celeb? Thanks very much for doing this for us all...it is very much appreciated!
Love the color. My first BMW Mini was that color. Easy to sell if you get sick of it...don't know why you would though!
Greg

I open the car door for my wife because I'm concerned about fingernail scratches in the paint on my car (she thinks I'm being polite). A dog has to be much worse.

Really excellent job with the video, Steve. You did a great job covering the basics. You know, it would be great if MINI would do a video like this to cover all of the basics and even more. Especially considering that there is so much adjustability within the myriad of features. Regardless, it's nice that good folks like you take the time to help the rest of us out.

Enjoy that gorgeous MINI. And......beware of dogs! LOL.

Good stuff!

In the US I think you need to get the storage package to get the rear outlet, and the 3rd visor for some reason.

Nice job on the video. I was wondering if the oil gauge also shows up on the instrument cluster. Thanks.
