Cuteness will fade when you go to the gas pump

I purchased this 2014 MINI Countryman new as the design was unique and quite cute. However, the stitching in the seats allows for chronic crumbs and dust to settle which requires frequent vacuuming. The car uses at least a mid-premium gas and does horribly with the gas mileage - not as stated. The car is sluggish going up hills. There is very little space in the front of the car to store things. All that being said, I am in the process of trading the car in for something more economical on gas, more space to store and a better interior seat design. In addition, the front tires needed replacement at 24,000 miles. The dealer said they 'are high performance tires and wear quickly' .

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

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

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

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.
