New to the forum and first post. I'm looking of getting a jcw in the next couple of months. How is the jcw as for daily car. I live in nj and I own a 2002 maxima which as my daily car and an 2008 evo x for my weekend / fun car.

 

Our 2016 F56 JCW is my daily driver. Blast.

 

I live in DE/PA area, have a 2016 F56 JCW as my only car. My only adjustment is I find myself wanting to take the back/curvy roads instead of 95/Freeways! Love it, no issues at all.

 

Mine's fine as my DD. I've turned into a bit of a stoplight racer though. You'll notice the cars in your rearview mirror are further back there.

 

It's a great DD. Any MINI will be a slightly bumpier ride than a Maxima, but you'll be having so much fun, you won't notice it. Helix is in Philly, so stop by and show off your new ride when you get it.

 

My fuel consumption 22 mile to the imperial gallon speaks for itself!

 

Why not? These cars are meant to be driven!

 

thanks for the input guys. just curious too, did you guys paid sticker price or you guys got a good deal. theres not that much mini dealers here in northern nj. i only know of 2. thanks again

 

Pretty much sticker price with floor mats thrown in. I bought in Pensacola and use as my DD. Got last November and have 13,000+ on it. Wouldn't change a thing and still smile every time I drive it.

 

You might want the dynamic damper control option for a daily driver.

 

I don't drive mine in winter. I live in Cleveland.

 

I drive my 2013 FJCW to work each day.
It actually makes driving to work enjoyable!

 

Ordered my online, negotiated with 4 dealerships and got a great price at the dealer I've done business with before. Depending on when you talk to them, there are discounts available. To top it off, MINI USA ran a special that coincided with when I took delivery and got another $1k off.

 

2016 JCW arrived in Edm. AB. CAN. on Jan. 28, 2016. I use it for work, daily. 6500 kms on her so far, so fantastic.

 

thanks for all your input. its gonna be fun driving here it here in nj, and i will visit helix to do my fist mod which is a short throw shifter!

 

See my post under "I think I have a lead foot"

ISAMIN

 

Mine is my daily and even have some track mods, still great.

 

My daily JCW in Joisey.
JCW Pro coil over etc equipped. Only scrapped lower front valance once

 

very nice!! which dealer did you go?

 

Morristown Nj

 

Mine is a DD even in winter. I put snow tires on it in winter, although not really necessary. I live in Wisconsin.

 

JCW is an excellent DD.

 

It's not my only car, but I've put 26,000 miles on it this last year. I would definitely recommend dynamic damper control shocks. I drive most of the time in sport mode but will switch to green mode when the roads get really shitty. It's been a great car so far. I just got ride of the stock tires and skipped the run flats and the ride/road noise is improved.
