John Cooper Works Electric MINI - The Classic, Reimagined

Daniel got his hands on the new, electric John Cooper Works MINI, and after taking it out for a ride, he has some things to say about the whole experience. Are they positive or negative? Tune in to hear his full thoughts on the car.

Before we get to the review, we talk about a recent practice by manufacturers that buy cars that are defective and sell them back to customers again. Is this appropriate? Should this solidify the need for a lemon law here?

In our news segment, we talk about hyper-GT cars and supercars - with Lotus releasing the new variants of their iconic Emeya line, and BYD’s super luxury arm, Yangwang showcasing a new supercar called the U9 that’s reportedly able to compete against the best supercars from Europe. We also discuss Grab’s investment in WeRide and what this means for the future of mobility in the region.
