Is the full size candy bar better than the fun size? Nope.
It is exactly what you see. A small AWD car that is functional in every way, but with no added bells and whistles. It is a car for someone who loves to drive, feel the road, take corners quick, and still safe enough to pick up kids from school. I went from luxury cars to this and couldn't be happier. Even the service centers are better than what I received from Cadillac and Audi.

Mini cooper - countryman 4 door.
My mini is a great car! Mpg is at least 40, comfort level is fantastic with heated seats, easy driving, feel safe when driving. Pickup speed is great. I love the double sunroof feature. Having enough natural light in a car is a great feature. I feel very safe with all of the installed safety features. Very heavy doors and air bags.

Goody for all people who drive.
It gets me where I want to go and it gets good gas mileage. It has four doors, a steering wheel, center console, rear area for storage, runs well in every type of weather regardless of where one might be. Comfortable to sit in. Has rear view mirror, sunroof, coffee holders, side mirrors, windows, wiper blades.

Mini feedback is good wish they had covered maintenance.
I had to replace my battery within the first 2 years (of a new car). Unfortunately it wasn't covered via the warranty. I wish mini provided 4 year covered maintenance like many other car vendors (like BMW). Other than the battery issue, I have enjoyed my mini.

Like the drive. The handling. I like the look of it , sporty. I like the gas mileage I don't like the dash, no back up camera.
It's fun to drive and has great pickup. Handles well in AWD in the snow

Love to drive my countryman.
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.

It is small on the outside but very roomy on the inside.
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.

Customizable mini cooper. It is my mini.
Driving my mini cooper is like being behind the wheel of a race car every time. Listening for that perfect moment to shift into the next gear and experiencing the rush of adrenaline as my car suddenly shoots out in front of the college of mediocre vehicles now fading away in the rearview mirror of my mini. Leaving everyone else in the dust because I am driving a mini cooper and they are not. My mini is precious and deserves the best of everything. It is refreshing to drive a truly customizable vehicle. My mini is sleek black with black/white checkered side mirrors and a white racing stripe that matches the custom leather seat covers.

So much space!!!!
I love how spacious my mini is, I have plenty of room in the front seats as well as the back seats. There is also plenty of room in the trunk with a compartment in the floor of the trunk for even more storage. Perfect for myself and my small family!

Cute compact SUV. Rugged yet stylish.
I like it. It is a cute compact SUV. I have only been driving it for 3 months but look forward to seeing how it drives in snow. It drives pretty smooth and accelerates nicely on the highway. I wasn't looking to buy a SUV, I was really just looking for a all wheel drive vehicle and this was a nice pick.

Mini coopers are fun cars!
Mini coopers are fun to drive. They are not the cheapest in repairs but certainly drive well and are more reliable than BMW's. Owning one is a lifestyle. Minis are quick and handle well. The interiors can be customized to your liking, which makes the purchasing of a new one a fun event.

I like that it is small, gets good gas mileage, have never had difficulty in our winter weather (I have even passed trucks that were stuck!), and it definitely has get up and go. I wish that it were a little more roomy inside and had Sirius radio and a spare tire.
It will go when you need it to, and the gas mileage is phenomenal.

What I like most of all is the sports mode, it is really snappy on take off.
I have not had any problems with this car. It has really good gas mileage. I love the power it has in sports mode. The car is roomy for its size. Love the heated seats has a lot of space in the trunk. Handles very well in corners and breaking. Leather seats a wonderful if you like leather cleans up easily after our toddlers mess. I enjoy the car overall.

Sunshine breeze mini cooper countryman.
I love my mini cooper countryman it's the most comfortable car I have ever own. It has plenty of space since it has 4 doors. Some features that my car has is that it has a sunroof it makes you feel the beautiful sunshine and breeze. Another feature it has aux cord and CD player even tho it is newer.

Great car - fun to drive - very reliable!
I love the AWD - the car is great in the snow. This car is fun to drive and handles well. It is very "zippy". The only complaint I have is with the tires - they are the run-flat type and I have had to replace them 4 times and they are very expensive to replace.

Love this particular mini cooper model!
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!
Nicole G

A perfect size car for family on the road, with led changing interior lights.
The mini cooper countryman is easy to get in and out of traffic and great for compact parking. Love it and everyone needs to enjoy one! The gas lasts for a good duration and can easily get over 35 mpg when using premium gas. They are very reliable and have yet to have a problem.

Mini countryman-perfect for a small family.
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.

My mini. I have highlighted my likes and dislikes of the car.
I love the performance of this car. It has a lot of get up and go. It is so easy to drive. The only thing I do not like is that it does not have a backup camera, only a back up sensor. The navigation screen is fairly easy to use, however I did have a bit of a problem getting the Bluetooth to play music from my phone. I have had minis previously and am very satisfied with the handling of the car.

A silver four door countryman with sport mode.
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.

You definitely save on gas and mileage.
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.

Nothing mini about my love for my mini!
I really love my car. Originally, my mom was worried that it would be too small because I am a new driver. However, I have found that it is the perfect size for me. It makes parking so easy, especially parallel parking, which I normally struggle with. My favorite features about my car are it is sunroof and smoothness. When driving to the beach, I often put down my sunroof and enjoy the ocean breeze with my best friends. Additionally, the smoothness of my car makes it feel like I am driving a golf cart, not a real car.

Good looking car! But do not care so much about the driver experience.
The ac is super slow, this car looks good but is not so good when you drive it. Most of the girl are like it because of its look. Anyway it does has a lot of practical value as it is affordably priced. Chose countryman -- the biggest mini yet. Better than a the regular version of mini.

Things I have noticed about the mini cooper countryman.
There is some throttle lag when not in sport mode, so even for everyday driving, I turn on sport mode. Basic media screen is eye catching, unique and easy to use. I love that I can change my actual vehicle settings on a screen with options, rather than just trying to figure it out manually. The back seats slide forward, like a standard front seat does. Fits two Graco car seats wonderfully, with adequate room for driver and passenger.

Best responsive compact car.
I have recently bought my car and have had no issues. The car drives perfectly. I love how responsive it is. The car is also super roomie and comfortable while still being compact. I enjoy how well it drives and how much fun it is. I love the remote starter and sunroof.

I LOVE my Mini Countryman!
I love my Mini! It's fun to drive, responsive and handles well. Great safety rating. Good gas mileage and it feels like a luxury sports car. Very spacious interior and stylish exterior. I Can take it camping or a night on the town. The heated leather seats are a dream in the winter.
Laura R

Mini Cooper-Not so fun to drive. Good on gas but lacks in performance.
The car doesn't have much engine power. Swerves sharply with slight movements. The seats are difficult to adjust. Cooling and heating systems are not effective for back seats. The car is quite uncomfortable all around (front and back seats). The console is very basic. Trunk space very small. The outer body seems to dent easily. Good on gas mileage. Easy to drive. Silver color hides dirt, so less car washes are needed.
Gabriel G

Great fuel efficiency, awesome room.
The mini cooper is absolutely amazing! I have no problems with the car as of now, like everything you must be sure to maintain something that you want running well for a long time. However as a good driver and one that maintains the car it is great! The gas mileage and efficiency is amazing and even with a hour drive to work and then an hour back home I still only have to fill up my tank once a week! It is only 26$ for premium too!
Ken B

Go out and get yourself a Mini! You won't regret it!
The performance of the Mini Cooper Countryman is awesome! Gas mileage is remarkable and it handles extremely well. It's a very comfortable ride. With the low clearance, drivers must be aware. There have been no issues! . I will drive my Mini any chance I get!

The best affordable luxury-ish all wheel drive SUV with the best BMW made engine, and ability to take a sharp curve effortlessly.
I bought my MINI Countryman in Boston because it is an all wheel drive SUV that is spacious enough to sit comfortably in but also compact enough for the city. It takes curves, snow, rain, and steep hills like a boss. I don't like that I feel the bumps on the road too much though. I wish it rides softer on bumps
Erica K

Great for everyday use for the modern family.
The countryman has great features, it is easy to drive and has great pick up. It any issues that pops up with the car is clearly identified and the mini dealer/repair shop is great to work with. Even as a family of 3, it has enough room for a car seat in the backseat and there is plenty of trunk space as well.

High Performance, low capacity
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.
Ethan O

Mini countryman the best car ever.
Love it, 100% reliable comfortable and performance. Car hits at least 120 without trying. The seats are very comfortable. Love the speedometer in the middle of the console. My car is a six speed manual and I love it. The car grips to the road very well especially on turns.
Jamie K

Small SUV for people that want an SUV but like the way a smaller car handles.
Very reliable. Bluetooth connectivity. Good gas mileage. Roomy. For back seat passengers. Rides higher up and does not feel like a go-kart, which riding in a regular mini cooper sometimes felt like. The boot is a little bit bigger than the mini cooper. For large grocery hauls I still need to fold down the back seats for additional storage.
Sovanna P

Easy to drive. Has the power of a BMW in a tiny mini.
The countryman fits my lifestyle to a t. It easy to drive in the city where parking is hard to find and I can squeeze my mini into tiny spots. As well as in the mountains when I like to go camping or on hikes. It's a perfect small sports utility car for me.
Omar G
on November 14, 2019
For a wagon type of car, it is sporty.
So far dependable. I take it for maintenance every time it is ready so I haven't had any huge issues with it. The only time it started acting funny was in the second year with the battery. However, that must have been a faulty battery because it was replaced immediately.

Classic mini super sized for the us.
The performance and comfort is up to mini standards. I miss having a smaller mini though as the countryman is definitely a larger vehicle. The features are also lacking. This is a BMW/mini all around problem though. The technology is dated and newer phones are issues being compatible. I have to listen to podcast and Audio books via AUX settings. It is a pain. The reliability is good if you keep on top of maintenance. Regular oil changes in minis are crucial.
Janet R

Trustworthy, performance its in the nines.
Love my mini for many reasons, it saves gas, reliable, perfect size for myself not to big or too small and customer service is exceptional they bend backwards for their customers. The only thing I don't like is the tires, I have to change them every 25000 miles major money expense.

2016 mini cooper countryman; small but mighty!
My 2016 mini cooper countryman s all4 is absolutely amazing! I drive the 6 speed manual, the clutch is not as heavy as some other vehicles I have driven. Mine is not completely optioned out, but has what I need; like navigation, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and many more features. It is also very spacious for being a small vehicle. The rear bench seat seats two, and can fold down to extend the cargo area. All in all a wonderful and fun vehicle!

4/5 stars for mini cooper countryman.
My mini cooper countryman has been a huge help in my daily work commute. I drive to San Francisco every morning, and I often am the first to find parking because of the small size. I find my mini to be small, but not tiny. Just large enough to fit my friends in so we can go to the bar after work. Overall I rate the mini cooper countryman a 4/5. Not perfect, but not bad.

The mini countryman it is like a tardis it's bigger on the inside.
I just love my mini countryman. It is considered an SUV but it is still got that classic mini look. The car my look small on the outside, but it is so roomy on the inside. It is a great commuter car because it gets really great gas mileage. It would also be a great car to take a road trip in because it is so roomy and can fit all of your needs. If you love SUVs but want something with great gas mileage too maybe it is time to look at a mini countryman.

Sleek, stylish, fast and furious
My car is smooth and does not get tired. Drives with the same consistency on longer rides. It looks stylish with a cherry red body and black roof. The tires are small and every time I have hit a pothole, they get punctured. The glass lacks tinting. Overall, the car is reliable, pretty, comfortable for a family of 4 and fuel efficient.
Morgan T

Never let down by my mini cooper country.
This car has exceeded my expectations in performance and reliability. It handles well, is fun to drive and has consistently performed in all types of terrain. The only real issues I have, all revolve around lifestyle. I love to fish, camp and hike. This is an issue, because most of those things do not fit in my car. Given the limited space inside, we generally have to take our other vehicle in a situation where we'll be fishing, backpacking, or camping out.
Veronica S

Plenty of space in the back, can fit furniture.
Perfect size car, it fits all my needs. The interior is very well designed and has all the features that I need in a car. It is big enough but compact enough for parking. I would recommend this car to young families with one or two children. Great gas mileage.

The mini countryman is fun and reliable. Do not miss out.
The mini is fun to drive and looks great. Love the turbo model, speed and torque. The countryman is roomy for 4. The mini is dependable and service is minimal and comes with a great service plan on a new mini. So easy to modify your mini, such as stripes, lights, interior dash colors and many more by mini.
Colleen W

Car is small and sporty. Like the colored accent lights on the interior
I've only had the car a few months but love it. It's fun to drive and easy to park. It has navigation which is great but was disappointed to find out it didn't also have a backup camera. It's roomy for its size and comfortable. I would like the navigation to be touch screen instead of the toggle
Sara A
on December 25, 2018
Ok, but ready for a change.
I am used to SUVs, and while this model is roomy, it is not as big as I need. In order to fold down the back seats, I have to move both front seats up. In addition, I was unaware that you have to put premium gas in it, otherwise your gas mileage is terrible. Another small issue I have is the auto-sensing windshield wipers. There is no ability to manually set the exact speed you want.

2016 MINI Countryman AWD fun wagon
I had a 2005 Cooper and was looking to upgrade in 2016. I loved that car, but wanted AWD, so I knew the Countryman was for me. Both my Mini's have been very reliable and super fun to drive. I love how customizable they are...you can really express yourself!!
Lu Ann L

I would highly recommend a Mini Cooper. They are so much fun to drive.
I have had very few problems with my mini. The handling is fantastic and it is all-wheel drive so it is wonderful in bad weather. It is much bigger on the inside than one would think and the seats are extremely comfortable. It also has paddle shifters to shift from manual to automatic very effortlessly. It also has a BMW service plan so basic maintenance is covered. The only disadvantage for me is that my dealership he's quite a distance away because many does not have a local dealer. However the one time I did have an issue and I took my car down to them they kept it for the weekend gave me a loaner car free and then drove my car back up here to me so the service is wonderful.

Super sporty and fun car with room for the whole family.
I love my cute little peppy car. Love the style, love that it is a manual. So fun. It is sleek and roomy but can park it anywhere. I love hatchbacks. I have never had a problem with my car. Next time I will get the S trim for a little more speed, but I will definitely get another mini
