BMW Mini Cooper D First Impressions

The other day.Test drive report on a BMW MINI Cooper D that my husband's sister purchased and my husband test drove.but I was also able to drive around town and along the Ashiu Driveway the other day, so I would like to write about my impressions, albeit briefly. In advance, my husband told me about theVery well made car, easy to drive, good impression.I was looking forward to being allowed to ride it because I had heard that it was

Incidentally, I bought my own MT car in April of this year (due to the semiconductor parts shortage, no production date has been set yet), and initially had the MINI crossover as a candidate.A crossover is a solid car, with 5 doors for easy getting in and out of the car and loading and unloading, and a cute design that allows children to ride comfortably in the back seat.I thought it was very nice.

However, when I looked for a MT car on a used car website, I gave up because there were no good-quality, body-colored units that I liked at that time.

Back to the MINI Cooper... first.Door is weighted and solid.I had a good impression of it. Even the moment I closed the door, I felt a sense of security as if the space was protected by the car, which I thought was very nice.

I was surprised by the suspension of the MINI Cooper, which I had imagined from its appearance to be small and nimble, but in fact, it was quite different. Despite its cute appearance, theIt was very bony, solid, and grounded.My husband, too.

The suspension is really good. This is a new car and it costs more than 4 million dollars, but I think the quality of the car is more than worth the price.There are few cars in the same price range that have such a solid suspension. Especially the suspension that is not found in domestic cars. It's moderately firm and gives a great sense of security and ground contact with the tires.

He said.

In the pastI had the opportunity to test drive a Mazda Roadster (ND).there are times when "there is ...Very well built car!I felt that it was a bit like a roadster with a stiffer suspension....

We also used to haveVolkswagen Golf Mk7had a great suspension, and the couple rode with great raves every time, but I personallyThe suspension was even more solid and grounded than the Golf 7 at that time, and I felt I could trust the car to drive well.

I prefer a slightly firmer suspension that allows me to feel a firm ground contact rather than a softer one, and the fact that the car fit my sensibilities so perfectly made me feel like I was driving a car that was "in the zone" from start to finish.Oh, my God! I want this! I want this!I've had a series of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Excellent, Mini Cooper.

On the way to the car, while waiting at a traffic light, I looked at the interior and found that the quality of the interior was very good. I heard that this car has almost no options, but I thought it was enough to have such a high quality interior without any options.

Next, my impressions of the Ashiu Driveway...The handling fit well with human senses, and both the gas pedal and brake pedals were very easy to operate.The steering wheel turns as smoothly and comfortably as the amount of steering wheel turn, without any additional cutting, and the brakes are easy to operate and easy to know how much to apply, and they are very effective.

."This makes me want to go around curves and curves, it feels so good!"

And I found myself driving with a big smile on my face.

The MINI Cooper was very easy and fun to drive, both in town and on roads such as the Ashiyu Driveway, but I still felt that the acceleration was a little lacking when I stepped on the gas pedal a little too hard on the way out.

Just about this.I just feel that way when I compare it to the acceleration of a Porsche.So, I think the level is fine when merging on the highway or when you want to accelerate, and it must be comfortable enough to want to go for a long drive as well.

I also personally thought that a Mini Cooper with a regular gasoline engine would have a more pleasant engine sound, etc.

I'm currently waiting for delivery of my MT car (or rather, waiting for word on when it will be produced), but honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a "I might feel that my car's suspension is not as good as the Mini's... I wonder if it's ok...It was such a great car that I thought, "What a great car!

Thanks for the ride this time.
