Handles great. Cup holder placement is not great if you have a large sized cup. Numerous USB ports. Ac/dc charger in trunk. No spare, run flats. Great gas mileage. Great height to enter/exit for elderly or people with back issues. Small glove compartment. Leather seats hold up great. Wind barrier on sunroof really helps with road noise. Love the heated seats - works extremely quickly.

Fun to drive compact family car.
I absolutely love the mini brand and this is my second one. This countryman is not quite as big as the newer versions, but it is extremely comfortable and the handling makes it a joy to drive. Like with most minis, you need to be diligent with maintenance but this is a wonderful family car that is even comfortable for road trips.

Very spacey in the back due to great engineering.
This vehicle is unfortunately very noisy, especially when driving at higher speeds. Additionally, the vehicle has a less advanced suspension system, so the terrain can be felt while driving. However, I feel safe in the car, and the engine supports the size/weight. One of the main benefits is the amazing interior design relating to the unbelievable size of the back of the car.

Can be fun to drive, but there are a lot of problems such as electrical, clutch, and coil problems
It looks nice, can be fun to drive, but it can run into a lot of problems.

The 2014 mini Cooper countryman review.
Well this car is great for a single person or just a married couple with no kids yet I find it will be to small for kids but as me and my wife do not have any it's wonderful the power is great the speed is there its a fun almost like mini cart driving experience I would tell anyone to get one but be sure to only just 91 oct gasoline so it will save your turbo.

It is a reliable and is so much fun to drive around.
I really love my car. It is sporty and good looking. It gets good gas mileage and has 4 wheel drive for when I need it. I also love the sunroof.

Have lots of great memories in my car! Definitely a great first car.
Very reliable care, great performance and comfort! Super fun to drive! However the only downfall would be expensive maintenance. Oil changes typically run at $80 anywhere. They also have a common problem with turbo charge running down, which can cost you $6000 for repair.

I love my car and cannot wait to have it for years to come.
My car, even though it is new to me, was released in 2014. It has amazing features inside like led lights that you can see at night, plenty of room in the front and back seats, is a good driving car, and overall easy to get used to. Some issues I have are minor and I could more than likely fix on my own if I looked into it. My front right tire is always popping up as 'low air' even after I put air into it. This is not an issue for some, but this car has to use premium gas, which is way more expensive than regular gas prices.

Robust and very powerful and super fast.
This car provides a lot of comfort to me and it's very spacious and robust. This car has a lot of power when you accelerate but it's more of a city car than a traveling car because it will eat your gas a lot pretty fast. Its comfortable seating and great view on the window and very easy to drive.

Gasket failure-covered 100% by manufacturer
2014...1000 miles within warranty and gasket needs replacing- $1700 repair. Usually not seen for another 50,000 miles. Spoke to dealer and manufacturer about it being a defective part. They covered cost. I paid zero and had loaner for a week. Minor issues before this like hole in windshield wiper fluid. Pretty fun to drive. Handles well. A little rough on interstate or rough roads.

The biggest flex I have is no one else really has my car.
It is super reliable and has had minimal problems. It holds a lot of items and has been pretty roomy when I am moving apartments. The one downside is when I do have to get my car serviced it is expensive. The gas is not as bad as one may think, I do have to fill up my car almost every week but it is a good car for road trips.

It is not so mini on the inside!
This is the first vehicle I have owned where people volunteer that they like my car! Although I have the base model, it is performance and standard features are enough for me: it has an armrest, cupholders and air-conditioned glove box, Bluetooth. I have been really happy with the warranty coverage and the service I received when I have needed to take it in. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Great wheels! And It's stylish too.
Great road car!! That is great everywhere, and very good on gas, love taking road trips, anytime of the year! My dogs love it too; I want a 'convertible ' mini now: )this is my first, and only car, that I really enjoy driving around the city and on the road, it really has 'get up and go ' speed!

Pros and cons of the mini cooper countryman.
It is a great car, it just needs a bit more room. But everything else is spectacular like gas mileage, handling in terrain, and feeling safe on the highway with fast speeds. The only real issue I have is it sits a bit too low, and there’s not enough room for storing more.
Dawn H
on October 14, 2020
Very roomy and smart little car.
Handles well, great for parking. Cute interior with more room then you would think. I especially like the colored lights on the interior, the large round pedometer and switches for the overhead lights. Some of the cons would be that it takes mid grade or premium gas. Although, the gas mileage is very good. One other thing is that it is low to the ground and hard to see around SUV's etc. Overall a great little car.

Mini countryman all 4 - good enough for a small family.
It is great. Fast, fuel efficient, fun to drive. It is a little small but the newer years are getting bigger so I look forward to upgrading. Especially the trunk. It seems like it could use just a little bit more space in the back. Although for the time being the 'small' size helps since I have a toddler, I can reach for most of his needs.

Why this nana loves her mini!
I love this car! I almost did not check it out because I thought it would be too small inside but was I pleasantly surprised. My 6ft football player built son-in-law even commented on its roominess in the back seat. I love the way it handles on the highway and the gas mileage as I travel between Pennsylvania and Virginia at least once a month to visit family. Best of all I feel safe in my mini and I love how it literally takes care of itself!

Cute, Safe Vehicle. Best Purchase
This vehicle was the best purchase I ever made. I absolutely love it. Servicing is easy. Safe and reliable. Easy for people who know nothing about cars. Super cute and comfy. It can fit more in the back than you think. Love all the purchasable add ons. The colored lights for safe entry in the dark are customizable.

A pleasure to drive
Love my mini s! Going on 7 years, no issues. Comfortable, roomy for its size, zippy, nice standard features. And I love how I can park in small spaces! My only complaint would be that the tech features are designed for the evil Apple?I really like the compact Bluetooth/phone /radio/audio interface.

My vehicle is attractive and gets compliments often from complete strangers.
Very comfortable to drive,, handles like a sports car, great gas mileage. Has been very reliable. Does require frequent oil changes. I have replaced the battery and coils. I like that I can circulate inside air to keep out allergens and fumes. Has tons of room inside, and even the hatchback area holds quite a lot.

The Countryman has the fun of your standard Mini at a more practical size (larger) that allows four to sit comfortable.
It is super fun to drive! It has 4 cylinders so has good gas mileage. It takes only premium gas. Oil changes are expensive.
Joseph D
on August 7, 2020
Most fun car you'll ever own!
My mini rarely has any issues at all. The two only thing that I do not like is that mini makes it very difficult to service your own vehicle and that their service cost are astronomical. Besides these two things the car is reliable and very fun to drive.

4 wheel drive mini countryman.
My mini countryman is a really fun car to drive. Despite being a mini it has lots of room, and a good size trunk. It has a built in navigation system, and anytime something is going on with it the computer comes on showing what is wrong. The only thing I do not like is that only specialist can work on mini because it is not built like other cars and a lot of time you need specialty tools to get the job done. I also like that my car is 4 wheel drive and I really need that in the winter.
Sabrina G

The car is great, but the mileage is not!
The car is really sturdy. I have had it for three years now and there have not been any major problems. The only thing that does not make it the best is the mileage. It is an expensive car to keep up with, but besides that the car is great. There is Bluetooth in the car as well which I use a lot.

Mini Countryman is a great small "SUV"!
I have not had any issues with my mini, besides the obvious usual maintenance. I love the way it rides, and the fact that I have AWD where in the mini I had previously did not so I when it snowed I really tried to stay off the roads. I love the look of the vehicle and that even though it a smaller "SUV" it is very roomy.

Love this car! Super modern looking.
My vehicle is a 2014 countryman mini cooper. I like my vehicle because it has a modern appearance and it although it is a smaller car, it can still be pretty roomy. The only thing I do not like about my car is that it does not come with Bluetooth, but I use a device that you plug into the car for Bluetooth so now I can.
Caitlin V

It is really fun to drive and comfortable to ride in.
I really like the way it looks. I think the styling is very cute and I like that the mini is a well known and reputable brand. The only thing that I do not like is that it is a little basic on the inside and it does not have a backup camera.

Review of my mini countryman.
Dashboard area is clunky and not well laid out and is not intuitive. 18,000 miles and still under warranty. Wish it provided free service for a certain amount of years like BMW. Had to replace the battery in year two and that cost $500 and wasn't under warranty.

The greatest car ever to drive.
The performance and handling of this vehicle is outstanding. It rides very comfortable. It gets great gas mileage. It is fun to drive because you can change the way you drive it from sport to green to mid. The stereo system is great and there are 15 speakers in the car. It is great to take on vacation as it is only myself and my dog.

Everything is perfect. This is the first used car I've ever bought. No major problems so far. I had to replace the battery and had it tuned up. That's all. I am small and it's the perfect fit for me. As far as comfort, it is the most comfortable car I have ever owned.

Love this car. Mini is the best.
Love it is a manual transmission. Performance is great. Reliable. Comfort is key and great in this car. No problems whatsoever. Lots of room. Love the car. Will keep it as long as we can. Love driving it. Love the lack of maintenance. We bought one in 2011 and now again in 2014.

My mini cooper countryman is actually very spacious and sturdy.
The only problem I have experienced with my vehicle is the wipers stopped working recently. Apart from that I have not experienced anything else that would have me speak negatively of mini cooper.

My vehicle is great and is pretty looking. It has a sport mode feature.
The mini is really nice and luxurious. I love the way it looks with all the circle detailing and it goes pretty fast on the road. Yet, it is quite small. You do not have much storage, just the front passenger compartment and the middle seat area, but there is not much room. Other than that, it is a really great car and its looks are worth it.
Kristy D

Fun and peppy little sports car.
The mini is a cute sporty car. Lots and lots of fun to drive! Has a lot of room for shopping and also lots of leg space! I also have a Rhodesian ridgeback who is 108 pounds and grew fits just fine in the back with his pretty hammock! If you love driving a peppy car that is gets up and goes quickly than the mini is for you.

Small sporty car that drives well.
Slow to get on highway. The look of the car is very nice. Has Bluetooth and navigation. Has a sunroof in the front of the car. You can adjust seat to sit higher or lower. Has a sport mode option. Trunk is small but that is expected because it is a small car.

I love the car, especially the heated leather seats.
I really enjoy driving it and the 'go kart' steering, but the maintenance has gotten very expensive because of the specialty parts. Fortunately I purchased mine with a 'certified pre-owned warranty' which has saved me often. It is very comfortable and the leather heated seats are very nice and easy to clean.

Although these cars look small from the outside, they're actually quite spacious.
My car is very reliable. Good on the highway, and really good on hills. Although the car seems small from the outside, I am 6 feet tall and there’s plenty of space on the inside. I have had my car for about two years now and I haven't had any major issues with it. So overall, I would highly recommend a mini.

Best Compact SUV on the market!!
I love my 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman! It drives really nice. While it's a compact SUV, it is still spacious and comfortable. The trunk is a little small but the rest of the car makes up for that. I love my panoramic sunroof and heated seats. This car is perfect for all seasons!

Enjoyable small car with enough space for your family. Repairs can be costly.
First issue I had at about 55,000 miles is my ignition coils went bad. High cost for an easy repair. I like the style and the way the car drives. While family enjoys driving in it. Big enough for my small family of 4, no extra room for other people though. We travel on short trips with just enough room for all of our stuff. Has options for a roof rack which can come in handy for adding extra space for trips.

Sporty and cargo-friendly - the mini countryman s.
I love my mini cooper so much - it's reliable and simple to maintain. The countryman model is perfect because it's still very compact and sporty but feels spacious inside and fits 5 people. The engine is very good and always responds instantly. The sound system is perfect and can be adjusted to your liking. It has a panoramic sunroof that brings plenty of light into the car. I also love mini coopers in general because of how customizable they are, and this one is no exception. I definitely recommend a mini cooper to anyone asking. I purchased mine pre-owned and it's still in perfect condition.

Buy the tire replacement plan. You may never have had a flat tire before, but you will with this car.
I like the look and the features of my car. However, I have had a random mechanical issue that caused a breakdown on a busy city road and I have had many flat tires. These have made my car experience less than perfect.
