That round screen is the ugliest shit I've ever seen

It's an homage to the original 1959 Mini interior. All subsequent Mini versions including more modern ones have a round central dial.

I think it's awesome. You get a Mini because you like the original spirit and its quirks.

Edit: Also, the PRNDL is in the small oval shaped panel below the screen. She almost touched it referring to the AC controls.

The PRNDL is place so fucking badly. like why that far away.
Its the same in the Peugeot 3008 2025 model, BUT AT LEAST ITS VISIBLE

It's not far away. She's filming with 0.5x zoom so everything looks far. It's perfectly reachable and frankly it doesn't need to be any bigger than that.

The PRNDL on some modern semis is no bigger than that. If it works for them it should work for a mini.

My only qualm with the PRNDL is it’s in the exact same spot as the window up/down was in the 2013 R56 Mini. So when I went from my 2013 to the 2025 I nearly threw myself into reverse while trying to close the window because of old habits 😅

The third generation Mini’s “start/stop” toggle is in the center, in the same position as the first generation’s central lock toggle.

So I’m driving the older one, park, tap what my muscle memory thinks is the start/stop toggle… and all the door lock mechanisms go ‘click’ and the engine doesn’t stop. Oh. Oops.

I still look at the ceiling for a clock out of habit.
