I've owned 7 manual cars over my lifetime. My year old MC Countryman S 2013's clutch never felt quite right, especially on hills. I learned this past week how wrong it is --and that MC knows this and does not have a fix. I was stuck in a mile of stop and go traffic --ON A HILL. By 1/3 of the way up, the clutch was burning and smoking and I had tremendous difficulty getting to the top safely. Although the burn smell lingered for another week, the clutch performed fine after that --no smoking no slipping. I finally took it into the dealer to check it out. Bottom line: Countryman clutches smoke on hills; expect it to burn out; hopefully it'll do so within warranty period. YIKES.
Loved it so much, my new car is another Mini!

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.

I was excited when I purchased my used 2013 Mini Countryman. But soon came to regret the purchase. So many problems. Hardly a week goes by before I get another frustrating light, beep and icon lighting up to let me know of another problem. First numerous oil leaks from hoses, etc. Once had car in for repair for an oil leak, and just starting the car top drive away, there was another oil leak from a gasket. I had problems with the turbo. Too many to remember. Next the cart started to smoke so bad it enveloped everything in smoke. Had to replace 1st turbo an bought another, had it installed but still had smoke problems, Was told there may be residual oil in some oil the hoses or catalytic converter. Got all flushed out, still smoke. took car back and was told it was a bad turbo. Got it replaced, still a smoking problem. Went to another mechanic and was told the turbo needed to have parts replaced. Did it, same smoke problem. Mechanic sent car to turbo "expert" who replaced turbo again. Still same. Then engine light came on and said car operating a reduced capacity. Still smoke. Got that fixed with more work to turbo. All together the "turbo problem" required five(5) turbo fixes. Still smoke. Then the other day got new message/icon/peep to let me know the battery is operating on reduce capacity. All together I have spent more money on car then it's worth and can't sell because, 1) too much invested in repairs to ever get money back, and 2) the car still smokes, the check engine light is on because of Oxygen sensor problem. No one would ever buy this car. Only a sucker like myself! I'm sure there is more to this saga but I'm old and I have, for my sanity, forgotten some of the "lessor" problems.

Handles like a dream and good mpg's for a sporty taller carlike "SUV. Perfect ride height, plenty of interior space. Power and accelerator feel are excellent. Get the S, get the manuel 6 speed and you will not be disappointed. Take good care of it and maintain it and it will take care of you for years to come and you will have so much fun. This is my second mini-cooper purchase and I have owned all brands. In my opinion this is one of the most satisfying mini coopers. Also HK system rocks if you can spring for it!
