MINI John Cooper Works Convertible Review – Driving 318 Curves on the Tail of the Dragon

A fall drive on the Tail of the Dragon in a 2025 MINI John Cooper Works Convertible.
11 miles. 318 corners. Low speeds, high engagement. The kind of road where power isn’t the point — balance is.

This video documents a real-time drive and impressions of the MINI JCW Convertible at the Tail of the Dragon, focusing on handling, gear ratios, suspension tuning for the convertible, HUD usability, interior comfort for taller drivers, and overall driving feel. No staged shots — just the car, the road, and the sound of a 2.0-liter turbo four working through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

If you’re searching for how the MINI JCW Convertible performs on technical mountain roads, how it feels at lower speeds, or whether it’s a good pairing for the Tail of the Dragon, this video covers that experience directly from behind the wheel.
