Used 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman Wagon Consumer Reviews
Mighty MINI S Countryman
If you're looking for an economical version of the Porsche Macan with plenty of practicality, this is the car for you. It's like the Porsche's little cousin when comparing handling, performance and styling. And, it's built to last.

We're fans 3 times over...
This is our first MINI and still the newest we own. It's been a ton of fun and extremely trustworthy. It has enough umf to be a great car in the mountains and twistys and more than enough car for 99% of life's needs. We've hauled some furniture, even a snowblower in the back. With the roof rack on one trip to Vegas with 3 of us the bellmen at the Bellagio unloaded 16 bags, backpacks, compression sacks and containers. It's also phenomenal in snow. We have two sets of tires, one set of Blizzaks just for the snowy season mid October to mid April and we can drive though anything we've encountered. Some of the things we didn't like were the run flat tires, some handling behaviours on uneven surfaces and the mileage. We've beefed up the anti sway bar to a solid 23mm bar, strut brace and got rid of the run flats and the handling is much better. We added a JB1 plugin tune and the performance and mileage improved. We also do our own maintenance. We enjoyed it so much we added a 2006 R50 and we recently added a 2011 R57 Cooper S Convertible.

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...
