2016 MINI Countryman Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I love the roominess inside. I really enjoy small size outside when I'm driving and parking in the city. I love the pick up. The gas mileage is okay, but not great. The car can be very loud. Overall, I would definitely buy this car again.

Compact and easy-to-park yet has a roomy interior. This car “sits up high” for a clearer view of traffic and better visibility to other vehicles than other mini cooper models. Also has a lot of cargo space. Plenty of power for hilly mountain roads. Overall this car is fun to drive, has great handling and is adorable!

Only problem in 4 years... The trunk latch stopped working and I had to crawl to the back and disassemble it to get it open. Otherwise, it has been a dependable, fun car to drive. I wish the back seats folded flat, and the ac is not as strong when it is very hot outside.

The mini are very comfortable. It has 4 doors and can carry four extra people with average weight. It gives good mileage. And is very comfortable to ride. It has good heat and air conditioning, but no room for spare tire. Depending on how severe your flat is, you can ride to the nearest tire repair or you can have your car towed. Every tire shop may not have your tire on hand and it is usually ordered out. My experience, I have a spare always at home, but once on, I usually take it to the nearest tire service to get it changed because it will show a signal that you need air in tire, and that's because it does not have a sensor. You get only four sensors with the vehicle.

I love this car! It runs great in all kinds of weather. It is sporty, yet functional. I love the feature where you can unlock the car at a push of a button on the door handle. It is trendy and just awesome!

Having always wanted a Mini Cooper, I had very high expectations for the car. As far as performance, reliability and quality, it's been nothing more than amazing. Most of the issues are due to lifestyle. I have a hard time fitting fishing poles, hiking and camping equipment in the car. Other than the issue of space, there's only two other issues. The Bluetooth system in the car can be very irritating. Ita constantly connecting and disconnecting. Sometimes it doesn't want to work at all. The only other problem has been the A/C. It's atrocious. If it's above 80-85 degrees outside, it has a hard time keeping up. Coupled with the black, leather interior, it can get and stay plenty hot, given the temperature is in the 90's, or above.

I have a small family of four. We had a mini cooper, but the kids didn't have enough room in the backseat. We got the countryman because it had a larger backseat. Now, it is the perfect size! Our only problem is that we live in a small, rural area with no mini services nearby. We have to drive an hour or two whenever we need the car serviced. But we have never had any major problems. It has been extremely reliable, and we love the heated seats in the winter! There is not a lot of room in the trunk/boot, so we have to be creative when loading groceries, but it can hold more than you'd think. And while the cars are small, my 6ft brother-in-law has no trouble inside.

Overall, the mini cooper countryman is a great vehicle. It is extremely comfortable and reliable on the road. The seats and setup of the car is extremely comfortable and much more roomy than anticipated from the outside. The car is very fast and has a quick takeoff. Parts are just expensive to fix but overall have has my car for 2 years and not too many problems.
