This is my wife's car, but I love driving it...when I get a turn. We were looking for an all wheel drive vehicle to replace her Land Rover but nothing seemed to fit the "unique" requirement. All SUVs out there seemed the same - we considered the Volvo XC90, Jeep Grand Cherokee - but were happy to find the Cooper All4. Great styling, great gas mileage, solid build quality, high fun factor, and all-wheel drive. Has all the creature comforts you could ask for and more.

I bought my Countryman in Sept and have been very pleased with it's performance. I have some extras on it which I didn't intend to get when I first started looking but I'm happy with my decision! The moon roof, heated seats, and premium sound system are well worth the extra cost for the enjoyment that they deliver. The interior is well designed and spacious for the size. I find it to be the most fun to drive! I hope for continued reliability and joy driving this car as I have been a Toyota/Honda owner prior to this car purchase.

Super fun to drive when not in the shop. Expensive to repair even though we are meticulous with our maintenance. About $8k in repairs in a 7 year period 😑

This is a fun car to drive, it's my second Mini that I've owned. The Countryman S is roomy for four people; it's fast; really fast in curves; super in town because of its agility and size ( for maneuvering and parking). I've had no reliability issues with either of my Minis that I have owned, but my Clubman got better gas mileage ( 28 city and 37 hwy). The ride on both is rough, so not so good for passengers, especially in city streets in West Virginia where I live. However, this is a sports car and as such, the ride is to be expected. The interior layout of controls is not good, but , has been corrected in 2014 and later models. Still, I like all Minis. Still no problems, at 35000 miles. I will always like Minis.
