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.

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.

Mini manipulation or wear & tear.
Works really well up until you hit about 75,000 miles. At least the dealership kept telling me there was a bunch of stuff wrong with my car, but they could have been taking advantage of me not knowing anything about cars. I am just shy of 140,000 miles right now and it definitely does not drive the way it used to, but it drives just fine to me.

Mini countryman - a full-featured SUV that fits into a compact parking space.
The mini countryman is a unique vehicle - the tiniest SUV around. It handles all the hauling, kid-carrying and adventure exploring you can imagine, yet fits into a compact parking space. Problems - plastic parts wear out after 60k miles, turbo replacement. Interior is very comfortable, but could be a problem for people over 6'.

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.

Mini countryman sport mode and cool light color controls.
I wish the clutch were a single stage instead of a dual and I feel they could have spent more time on the interior design, especially the cup holders. Overall performance and reliability is good though. The keys are extremely expensive to replace and mechanics shops can be difficult to find.

It's the most spacious and largest of the mini series.
It's a small car but still spacious for a small family, drives really smooth and well with the turbo. Feels luxury with the interior seating and lights. Feels really safe to drive in. I really enjoy the alerts the car gives when in need of gas, oil change, or if the key is still in the dock. The sound of the car is great.

Mini cooper countryman: real and honest review.
Because the car is old, it came with old coils that after 40 thousand miles caused a little problem with the engine. However, it was an easy fix, and I just changed it for new ones, so I could have a better performance. The car works incredibly well in all weather. I have been through sand, snow, ice and it has shown that it can take anything. Also, rain is not a problem even on a highway going at 70 or more. On the inside, it is a very comfortable car, and it is easy to keep it clean which is a big deal for me. It gives the feeling of a big comfy car, but it is small with good space for baggage and other thing. All in all, it is a great car, and more so because it is from 2013, but it works as it is a new one, so I highly recommend it.

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

It has interior lights where you can choose the color. The speakers are good.
The mini cooper s countryman is a reliable vehicle, it has needed oil a few times but other than that there are no issues. They have run flat tires which is beyond nice in case of an emergency. It does ride a little rough since its low to the ground and technically a sports car. It is not quick to take off but with the s feature it is quick. Interior is nice, but I wish it had Bluetooth connection.

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.

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.

My car is a weird hunter green color.
I bought a used car and it already had some problems like the brake pads were bad and the constant light flashing that something is wrong is kind of annoying but if it's okay it runs smooth. It's a great car. I have the countryman and I love the size of it.

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.

It's bigger on the inside :)
It has a lot of get-up-and-go and is really fun to drive. It's surprisingly roomy inside but is still small and easy to park. The Bluetooth feature, clock, etc. (everything associated with the radio) is a nightmare, not at all user-friendly. That's really my only complaint.

Mini is not a mini! Handles like a dream.
I absolutely love this car, it handles like an expensive sports car. Loads of room in both passenger compartment and trunk. I have had virtually no issues. It has required only the basic maintenance and rides very smoothly. My husband is 6' and I am 5'1' and it adjusts to fit either of us. I would recommend this car for anyone.

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.

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.

My zippy, red granny buggy.
My car can hold 5 passengers, carry groceries or some building supplies with seats down and easy to park. The four cylinder is not fast upon take off but is good after getting up to speed. I like the large dials, Bluetooth, cruise control, 2 movable sunroofs, and leather seats.

Comforts of a mini countryman.
The mini countryman is extremely comfortable to drive in, and ride in. Whether you are a passenger or the driver, the mini provides an enjoyable, relaxing, experience.

Love the comfort and performance of my mini countryman!
Love the leather interior. There's enough leg room for everyone-even in the backseat. The front seat both have seat heaters. It also has a cute sunroof that tilts open in the front and back seats. The all wheel drive gets us around nicely in the snow as long as it is not too deep.

My cute blue mini cooper countryman.
Drives like a dream, fast, responds well. Is so cute, roomy and has great features. Minimum maintenance except for oil changes. Had to buy new tires, run flats but not until 69, 000 miles. Fast car, has not gotten me into trouble yet. No recalls that I am aware of.

Love the look and gas mileage. Constantly getting compliments on my automobile. Did not purchase the turbo so a little gutless but love it just the same.

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.

It's faster than you think.
I love the turbo engine. I love the size and the design. I love the social status. I dislike the expensive maintenance on the car. I love the handling. I love that it's more roomier inside than it looks on the inside. I love that it is a four-door.

Fun and reliable all under 1 hood.
We live our Mini Cooper countryman! It is fun to drive, gets great gas mileage and still has plenty of room for a road trip. We often get asked how we like the countryman and it is always a resounding yes! We've had no problems and it comes with a 3 year/36, 000 mile maintenance package and car washes to boot!

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.

Everything that I like about my car is the most important thing.
I've done my due diligence in my search for a used car, and this information lead me to purchase my 2013 mini cooper s countryman all4. This thing has great gas mileage for what it is. I love the way it drives and handles. It is got great boost and acceleration of which I generally attribute to the turbo, and the way this thing can take turns is amazing. I have had no issues or problems so far. Do your research, compare prices, and take test drives.

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.

More spacious than it would look like from the outside. Essentially has as much storage space as compact SUVs, and almost as much as mid-size SUVs.
Gray with a racing stripe, it is a quick li'l guy, built like a tank. I love its handling and performance. However, it is a little showy for this point in my life. I now would prefer something a little more inconspicuous.

Can program blinkers to your liking and can program door lock timer
Great performance, have not had any issues with car up to this date. Features in car are basic has a radio and a/c with heater. I love the Bluetooth feature for hands free while driving also it automatically connects to my cell phone Bluetooth without the hassle of connecting every time I get in car. Also you can set a timer for when your car can auto lock which is great if you have children and if you forget your keys in car you can extend lock timer. Another cool feature is the light blinker setting which you tab the signal stick and it flashes up to how every many flashes you program rather than having it stay on until you turn or when you remember to turn off.

Details of a 2013 mini cooper countryman.
My vehicle is not a smooth ride and it is a little loud inside the cab when I drive. I feel every bump. It handles well and the run-flat tires are the best. I always know when maintenance is needed due to the vehicle warning system. Upkeep is expensive once the 3 year warranty expires. The seats are comfortable and adjust well. The vehicle seats 5. Four comfortably. My vehicle was custom made just for me. I wanted a manual transmission and my vehicle was special ordered because the dealershIp did not have the colors I wanted with a manual transmission. I really appreciated that.

The car is a lot of fun to drive with a lot of quirky details.
It is a very reliable, car with great pickup. I love the features and it is fun to drive. It's good on gas, $40 dollars gives me a full tank. Although its a compact car it is still spacious with sufficient cargo room. However, I am not a fan of flat run tires and it does not come with a spare. It also uses premium gas, which surprisingly has not been too bad being that the car is efficient on gas.

Quick and powerful. When approaching an on ramp. The acceleration is perfect.
Driver door. Lock malfunctioned, acceleration is excellent, interior lights very pleasing. Gas mileage is excellent. Trunk is extremely roomy given the size of the vehicle. Can seat four adults quite comfortably. Color of vehicle - deep blue, is great.

2013 mini countryman. Great performance not the best features.
Performance is great but it is very small and no truck space. Also lacks in cup holders, storage capacity and leg room. There is a large speed gauge in the middle of console which seems unnecessary. Signal lever does not lock into place and turning it off is a pain.

2013 Mini Cooper countryman s.
My 2013 Mini Cooper countryman s is extremely comfortable. I love the maneuverability of it and the handling. It rides very smooth. The mileage is great. I feel very safe driving it. I am expecting my first child and feel comfortable that we will be riding in it together. I have had the car for one year. I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Something about that mini cooper.
My mini does not accelerate readily when you use a gasoline type other than the type recommended. It is very reliable. You can feel every bump and stone in the road when there is construction. Servicing the mini at the dealer can become expensive, but I do it because many auto shops will not touch the vehicle for lack of knowledge about the vehicle.

The most fun you'll have all day
My car, Camilla, is incredibly fun to drive. She is fast, responsive, reliable and an absolute delight on the highway. She gets decent gas mileage but does need premium gas. The only negative things about her are that she's a little loud and the repairs are expensive.
