Need a translator
I am just interested in knowing what the end result is on this video. You have to know Spanish. But here it is

Well more from the numbers than my high school spanish here goes;
potencia maxima=max power/rpm
velocidad maxima=max speed in kph, consum mixto=fuel consupmtion(miles/liter), 0-60 kph=0-62 mph, precio=price(in euros)
potencia maxima=max power/rpm
velocidad maxima=max speed in kph, consum mixto=fuel consupmtion(miles/liter), 0-60 kph=0-62 mph, precio=price(in euros)

Press '1' for English...
Just kidding... 
If you're referring to the stats in the final graphic, "dadsalfa" gave you the first two (maximum power and top speed); the rest of the list (top to bottom) gives you: fuel consumption in liters per 100 km (this is a bit different than our rating of 'mpg,' and a smaller number indicates a more fuel efficient vehicle); acceleration time, to 100 km/hr (which roughly equates to 62 mph), in seconds; and price (presumably MSRP) in Euros.
The horsepower rating they supply (CV) is a bit odd; apparently, this is a rating used for motor vehicle taxing purposes. What will those politicians think of next...?

Basically they said that the MINI exhibits the same things we already know...great chassis but gets unsettled over bumps. Very sporty character.
The Fiat they said was sporty, but wasn't very direct. Especially the shifter.
They went on to the interior where they said that the Fiat is sporty and has seats that fit the torso perfectly.
Overall, the reviewer states that if he has to choose, he goes with the MINI JCW even if it is more money. Its a more complete car that makes it better all-around. He says that the handling, interior and luggage space make a more complete package. He ends by saying that neither has the best suspension for a long drive.
Well, that's my rough translation, so I hope that helps. I only got to listen to it once through since I'm on my way out but I can take another listen later and see if I missed something else. It's nice to see the two reviewed, I just wish they would have compared the interiors a bit more and made more notes on the power delivery.
