We bought the 2012 Countryman S with an automatic transmission. This car is really fun to drive - the most fun I've had driving since my 1965 MGB. I love the steering - it's tight and very responsive. Acceleration is fantastic, and the sport mode is awesome. The design of this car is really cool, and it's great having a car that doesn't look like the "cookie cutter" cars out there - they all look pretty much the same. We've only had it for about two months, and it's amazing how many people have asked about the car when we pull into a parking lot. Everyone thinks it's really a neat car. I'm 6'2", and there's plenty of head room and leg room.
DO NOT BUY A MINI!!!!!

I own a Mini Cooper S. The drive is so much fun, but! This vehicle is so much money to maintain. I was having issues with the steering wheel shaking. So I took it to the dealership in Pittsburgh. There is only one dealership to go to Mini of Pittsburgh. I requested a quote to fix the problem. They quoted $4500 to fix the issue. In their service paperwork, it said "Could be causing issue." They did not even know! They were just throwing parts at the problem. The staff was rude and not helpful. I'm so happy I declined service and located a local guy that fixed it for $900. I have had troubles finding a mechanic that will work on this brand, a lot of headaches. This brand is very expensive to fix and maintain. DO NOT BUY A MINI!

Do not buy. I bought a used 2012 Minicooper Countryman last August for my daughter and have dumped about $4000 dollars into it so far. First the tires (not their fault) but then mass air flow meter goes out, then had to replace the plugs and coils, then had to replace the bushings underneath, somethings else went wrong that I don't remember because too many things going wrong but that cost another $800 and a now, the check engine light is coming on and running rough. Bought this through a BMW dealer that had ALL the "perfect maintenance" records on it. Mini's are bad. BMW in general pretty much sucks and they way over charge for repairs on basically a Volkswagen Rabbit. I knew I should not purchase this as my wife wanted it because it was "cute". Not so cute anymore. I had a bad feeling and it's biting me now. Buy at your own risk and if you do buy one, make sure you have about $6K extra in your bank account for the problems you will run into. Good luck!

Two Years of Spending Money

So, I got this car in April of 2020 and have spent money that equals the equivalent of a new car purchase. I am talking $10,000 total for things like a fuel pump, the tire pressure sensor and tires, the oil changes, the alignments, the battery, the turbo charge, the spark plugs and coils that need replacing multiple times with minor driving usage, the time belt, the drive belt, the high pressure fuel pump, and so much more. This car can not go a month without the check engine light coming on. I am a fool for wasting so much money and taking out loans to fix an unfixable car. It is better to get a newer model and a car warranty. Even when I had carshield, the company would cover somethings and not others so I was left bleeding money left and right. Everything about this car is expensive because of it age. I am trading it in because enough is enough. Dont think if you just spend more, it will eventually get better. It never does.
