Simply the best bang for your buck.

In this price range you're faced with a dreary econo-box, stripped out sedan or something else uninspired. My main goal when purchasing a brand new car was something with space, great gas mileage and FUN to drive. The Countryman checks every box and then some! Don't get me wrong... There are other cars in this segment that are great value, but the Countryman is the only one you'll take a second look at when you're walking away from it in a parking lot. Why not have your cake and eat it too?!

Stiff ride, buzzy engine, noisy cabin

Stiff ride, buzzy engine, noisy cabin, awkwardly placed switches, fugly exterior, poor fuel economy. The sport suspension ride was so stiff on the stock run flat tires that I bought a set of regular tires for it within a week. Doing so improved the ride, but I owned the car for 45 days before I couldn't live with it any longer, and I traded the damn thing in on a MUCH better car, the MINI S Clubman ALL4, and I LOVE the car. Before you buy an overpriced Countryman, test drive a Mazda, or a Honda, or a Ford, or, or, or... Do NOT base your opinion of the rest of the MINI lineup on the Countryman. MINIs are a hoot to drive. Just not THIS MINI.

Mini still lacking features

Love the concept, but no power seats was a deal breaker for us... Special order was too long for delivery and too pricey... We bought the Lexus NX 200T with all options for about $2K less than the countryman or clubman...

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.
