My BRG 4 Door Iconic S is my 4th MINI since 2018, and my family's 7th. Needless to say I'm a huge fan of these diminutive little pocket-rockets. That being said, I have a few pros and a few cons: * PROS * - More power - Great infotainment screen - All the modern technology that was desperately missing - "HEY MINI" - Remote Start! * CONS * - No Steptronic gearshift lever - No paddle shifters (Only in the JCW and JCW Trim package!) - No drive mode selector - In-cabin storage - map pockets, center console - is fairly useless - Toggle switches are gone, making climate controls a bit difficult to use on the screen All-in-all, the modernization of a classic has its good points and bad, with the pros taking the lead. The performance has improved due to the upgrade in horsepower and torque, and the handling is still so very amazing. Also, the abundance of new technology and the even better HK audio make this one of the best cars I've driven. OH! I almost forgot . . . Massaging driver's seat!!!

Performance, handling, all the bells and whistles
No paddle shifters, fairly useless map pockets

Nothing now, expect pricy repairs
Bought this Mini Cooper S 2 Door 2025 in Chili Red II as a second car and love the Beamer B48 Turbocharged heart in it. The features inside are impressive and the redesign fin 2025 model is a good value.
