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.
