The only reason I am selling this car is because I was ready for an automatic with the All/4 capability. Otherwise, it is an outstanding car and extremely fun to drive.

Worst car ever

Cheaply made, constant mechanical problems for five years. I mean Yugo-level problems (hood latch broke ($300), dashboard railing snapped off when key got stuck (fixed myself), "car access module" went bad ($800), drivers side door seized up ($500), shift linkage broke ($900), etc. etc.). The best way I can put it is that in my opinion, the designers of this car (and I believe the whole Mini line) put form over function in just about every way. I can't recommend highly enough against purchasing this vehicle. Simply junk.

Mini Cooper Owner's Nightmare

2012 MINI Cooper Countryman 4dr Wagon (1.6L 4cyl 6M)

I bought the 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman when it came out. I had a Mini Cooper Coupe in 2008, excellent little car, but too small. The first problem, my 2008 gave me 500 miles to a full tank, this one 380 miles. I asked the dealer, he said to drive it for more than 10,000 so the engine can open up and this would change. Not. The second problem, every bump on the road could be felt. I bought more expensive tires, no improvement. Third, it stalls when you initial a drive after a full stop. I use the "Sports" button, this works, but its stays revved, scary to stop. Fourth, windows gets extremely foggy when heat is on. I am returning this car, even if it kills my credit, not my pocket.

The Mini that's big

I bought my pre-owned Countryman S ALL4 (6-speed manual) recently so I can't really vouch for reliability. That said, if you like small nimble cars with some pep and a firm ride, this car is for you. Very pleased with the large amount of interior space; leg room and trunk space are more than enough. Of course the steering feel and handling are sublime; the acceleration in sport mode is excellent. Very similar feel to BMW xDrive.
