Great SUV size, packed full of comforts!

The performance is great on the mini countryman. It is a great size, and very comfy interior. Of the two sunroofs, the front one pops open, and also slides back; there is a screen to dim the light coming in from the roof without covering it up completely.

It is a very fun car to drive and a lot roomier than one would think.

My car is fun to drive. It is very similar to driving a go cart as the turn radius is sharp. It is equipped with a turbo which makes it very quick. I have no complaints.

Great car-would buy all over again.

Within the first year of ownership I had to get four new tires and the wires that connect the engine to the starter (or something like that, I cannot remember what they are called. ) But other than that, I really love it, gas mileage is not bad, the size is kind of perfect, I would feel safe having kids in car seats in it.

Great mini cooper countryman.

I love the countryman. It is super fun to drive and really is reliable. It is performance is amazing according to me, but I do not claim to be a car person. I can speak for any layperson, this car is an awesome little car. Perfect for a person’s first car. Very comfortable and easy to drive. Sitting in the back is a little less comfortable but not bad.

I really love my 2015 mini cooper countryman s.

I have not had any issues with my vehicle. I do however wish that Bluetooth audio came standard. I can use the Bluetooth for calls but not for music, podcasts, etc. The car comfortably seats all 5 of us and the trunk space is enough to accommodate large trips to Costco however this vehicle has not been ideal for large purchases, such as lumber, at big box hardware stores.

Lane alert and braking system.

Fun to drive due to relation to a go kart, only zippier! Mini cooper drivers spirit and recognizing one another with the mini's "hi, sign", while cursing. Great gas mileage. Countryman is like SUV but mini, can always find parking space and handles in mud, rain, ice, snow!.

The coop countryman is a super cute college car.

I love my car for its size — all the seats are very roomy and there is a good amount of trunk space — but it is still small enough to make parking in a college town pretty easy. The steering is very good, and I haven’t had any problems with reliability thus far. The only negatives about this car is that it only seats four people, there is no middle seat in the back. Additionally, some people take issue with the dashboard situation. Some of the controls and visuals are in unique places, but I think that adds to the character of the car.

I love my mini countryman!

My car has good mileage for a car that is not a hybrid. Minis also have character that other cars do not. I have kept up with my maintenance do I haven’t had any problems with breakdowns or anything like that. I suggest buying the extended warranty. The maintenance is free for several years with the extended warranty.

Detail mini cooper countryman.

Noises everywhere in the dash, doors, seat belts that is horrible when you buy a new car. The good thing is he mini cooper fix everything.

Taylor E

Roomy vehicle but not the quickest.

Maintenance for the car can be very expensive because it uses speciality parts. Overall a roomy car, I have had slight issues with the back seats folding down. I love the sunroof and how the car sits. The car is very slow to accelerate and does not do as well at higher speeds on the highway.

Ana A

Countryman mini cooper breaks down too often.

I have had this car for 2 years and I have had to take it to the dealership because parts were broken down by use. I still had the warranty so I didn't have to pay anything but my 2007 Corolla breaks down way less and I have had the Corolla for 8 years. I love how it looks but the engine is not powerful enough.

Patricia M

It's very specious and great for families. The town and country minivan is awesome.

It is very comfortable. I love my mini van the room that it offers. Great for kiddos and it runs well. I also love the gas mileage.

A Q

Pros and cons of the mini cooper countryman's base engine.

The engine is not fast enough for me, however because the engine is small the gas mileage is pretty good. I fill up my tank with 25 dollars and lasts me for good 6 days of commuting from one side of town to the opposite side. I love and hate the leather seats. They look great but they are very uncomfortable in the winter and hot summers. It is a small car so I can fit in anywhere but I can still fit in 5 people in my car.

Mini countryman - great vehicle, minimal shortcomings.

The vehicle is incredible, I just wish it had more clearance underneath and that the sound system was a bit more developed. The interior is quite roomy and even the 2-wheel drive version has great traction. I find that the trunk is larger than it appears and I can fit tons of things in the car, so it is great for road trips.

Mini cars are cute, fun, reliable, and affordable.

My mini countryman is very comfortable, affordable and reliable. It is my second mini car. They are so cute and fun to drive. I love the good gas mileage and the easy of parking in right spots. I would definitely recommend mini to others that are looking for a new vehicle.

Pros from Owners

Stephanie S.

The cons are Vehicle uses too much oil. I have to constantly be checking if oil is low. Thought it would offer better tech options. Gas could be better on the streets and highway. Maintenance can be pricey. The pros would be that each mini is unique. You can customize for your style and price. It is a fun car to drive.

Cons from Owners

Stephanie S.

It is a fun car, unique that you can customize. You always find parking due to its size. It is a safe vehicle when driving on the road. The style of the interior is cool, with the sunroof, the leather, the screen in the middle of the dash.
