The color changing accent lights are fun to change depending on mood.

I love that it is an easy car to drive around the city due to its size but yet spacious interior and very comfortable.

Tony M

Quick, responsive and fun to drive.

This car has a quick response when taking off and handles the roadway very well. I have had no issues with the car since I bought it and would buy another to replace it when the time comes. I like what the newer models look like and think the company is heading in a good direction.

Overall happy with my mini.

I have been consistently happy with my mini countryman. It is a good size for me as I am petite, but larger than it seems. It has decent trunk space and the 4 doors make it passenger friendly and kid friendly. It has a luxury feel without being too pricey. I have not had major repairs, but the main downside is they can be a bit more costly. It handles surprisingly well in snow and all weather given the smaller tires.

Salvador H

It has a lot of room and can haul several people.

It's a fun car to drive. I really cannot say anything bad about this car. Maybe it is size? But to be honest I haven't had a issue with putting things in my car. It's a smooth ride. I love it.

Driving a mini may seem scary at first, however driving the car after a while, and you will learn to absolutely love the car.

There are none known issues with the Mini Cooper. However it does take a certain person to want to own a Mini Cooper. They are loved by those who wish to drive them, almost always.

Bruce E

The car get 28 miles to the gallon.

I like the size of my vehicle and the fact that it is four doors. It is comfortable to drive and although it doesn't have a large trunk space it is big enough to meet my needs. The car can also transport four passengers.

Kimberly T

Fuel efficient and easy to handle.

I just purchased this vehicle and I love it. Its big inside and drives smooth. Its controls well. Great on gas. Fun to drive.

Chiara F

The year of the countryman is important to its longevity

It is a compact car however it is very spacious. My car is very modern looking on the inside and out and is very comfortable. It's fast and good on gas.

Clara C

Pricey maintenance but cute car to drive for a few years, not long-term.

I loved my car when I first got it and it's a cute car. It is, however, very high in maintenance and I've heard that Mini's don't do well, in terms of performance, after 75,000 miles. The car can be fun to drive but only for a few years. I probably would not buy a Mini as a long term car.

Karl S

Looks small and compact on the outside but feels like the opposite when inside of it

It's a little small for my taste. It somewhat big in the interior for a compact car. It's pretty comfortable sitting in it.

Sarah L

I would never buy this car used again but it is definitely a good car to buy new.

We bought it used so it had a couple of really expensive problems that kept pulling up. The Bluetooth can only be used for calls and the car is not really compatible with newer phones. I think the removable center console is an interesting concept but it wasn't very well done. The truck is bigger than expected and the seats fold down.

Ron S

Fuel efficient and easy to park. Not always a close by service shop for this make. Room for only 4

Reliable car and fun to drive. Uses premium fuel which costs more. Great for short distances not as good for longer distances

2013 mini cooper countryman is my dream car.

My mini cooper countryman is so cute & runs great for the most part! The interior is really cleanly designed, it is small but speedy, and a smooth ride as well! Most recently though, I have been having issues with the wheels, they tend to get slow leaks in them often. Other than that, it is my favorite car & I would definitely buy another mini.
