MINI Countryman review: Is it too big?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfWjTczQkiI

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1909 This is the new MINI Countryman! It’s the largest MINI you can buy, and Mat’s about to see if this SUV-like MINI can compete with other crossovers such as the Audi Q2 or BMW X1! For starters, let’s check out the design. This car is distinctly a MINI from whatever angle you look at it. From the front, the car looks much more modern compared to the previous edition, and with the JCW edition we have here, there are a couple of chequered flag motifs as well as several JCW badges. Along the side alloy wheels go up to 20-inches, and being a MINI there’s lots of customisation available, such as the option to go for two-tone paint. At the back, nothing notably stands out, although this JCW edition does come with an integrated spoiler and quad tailpipes! On the inside, the revised Countryman interior is seriously nice. The main feature is a new large circular infotainment screen in the centre of the dash, which is super bright and colourful. Unfortunately, though, the system can be a little bit laggy. There are a few physical buttons and toggle switches set underneath the screen, although most functionality is managed through the touchscreen. Fabric materials adorn the doors and dash, while there’s also a small heads-up display available. There are several different engines available. The range starts with a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol that can deliver 170hp and comes with front-wheel drive. There’s also a 2-litre turbo petrol, which in the S delivers 218hp, and in the JCW puts down 300hp. Both these editions come with all-wheel drive. There are also two electric editions to choose from. The single motor can put down 201hp, while the dual motor edition delivers 302hp. The Countryman range starts from around £30,000, rising to around £45,000 for the JCW edition. But is it worth it? Stick with Mat to see for yourself! Chapters

New Golf GTI v Old Golf R v Clubsport: DRAG RACE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAVmHBM62gw

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1709 It’s time for a Volkswagen showdown! We’ve got our hands on the all-new Mk 8.5 Golf GTI, and it’s going up against the Mk8 GTI Clubsport and Mk7 Golf R! The question is, can the all-new GTI take down the other two contenders? To start, let’s check out the stats. The Mk7 Golf R has a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine that produces 300hp and 380Nm of torque. It comes with four-wheel drive, and the power is sent to the wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The car weighs in at 1,495kg, and when new the Mk7 R costs around £32,000. The GTI Clubsport is also equipped with a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine; in this instance, it puts down 300hp and 400Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch, and the car weighs 1,461kg. When new, the Clubsport cost around £40,100. Then finally we come to the newest car, the Mk 8.5 GTI. It also packs a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, producing 265hp and 370Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it’s the lightest car here, tipping the scales at 1,454kg. Surprisingly, it’s a bit more expensive than the R, costing around £39,000! So the Mk8.5 GTI is the newest car, but surely it doesn’t have what it takes to bring down the Clubsport or R, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
