Speed between 45-60

I am currently leasing a 2016 countryman. When I'm going between 45-60 and punch the accelerator to pass a car, the vehicle sputters and jerks, makes clinking noises, and then accelerates. All of this occurs within 1-2 seconds. This is not a delay you can experience with a turbo. Each time I've taken it in for annual maintenance I bring up the issue. They inform me it's due to the spark plugs and coil in a high altitude like Denver. They change them and the car is fine for 2-3 months then it begins again. I was interested in buying the car off the lease until I asked how much it would cost to replace the spark plugs and coil... +$900. No thank you! I pass thousands of cars a day on the road in Denver and I've never heard of spark plug issues for other cars in high altitude. Plus, there are mountains in Germany so I don't accept their response. Anyone else have a similar problem?

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.

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.

One problem after another

I was so excited to buy a mini for the first car i had ever purchased on my own, i was fortunate enough to be able to buy a brand new one! After only having the car for 6 months i started having problems starting with my tire pressure monitors. My left tire pressure monitor kept saying that it was low and flat but when i looked at the tire it was fine and the air compressor part said i had fine air pressure. Than my car started having transmission/engine problems at only 8,000 miles as well as my car redlining at 25 mph. My car is now dying when i make sharp left and right hand turns, as well as the car redlining at 25 and finally shifting to a higher gear after i have no choice but to floor it and have the rpms at 8 on the rpm screen on the car than once it finally shift the car knocks you forward with a loud and hard clunking noise. I have had it with this car! Mini and BMW customer relations have been a total pain to deal with saying it hasn't been serviced enough to help me with a problem. NO car should drive like this!! My car is still in the service department currently and the service techs have no idea what is causing the problems or how to fix it saying they feel what I'm talking about but not sure if its a mechanical problem or electronic issue... Its safe to say i will not be recommending this car to anyone not even my worst enemy! if i could give it 0 stars i would.

This is the "family" Mini if you want Mini style and attitude but you have a family and groceries to haul. The backseats can fit 2 real adults comfortably and still fit your bags or groceries in the trunk. The S version has enough spunk to get up and go even though it won't break any speed records but that's not what it's for. The handling is sharp like a Mini should be but can be a bit on the firm side. Like all Minis, you can customize it to your heart's content to make it your own. I love it and I'm thinking about getting a 2 door for everyday driving now just to add some fun to my daily commute. UPDATE: Still loving the Countryman. It's small enough for city driving and ease of parking is great for those tight strip mall parking spots. However, the car is surprisingly spacious inside for passengers, even taller ones fit well in the back. Grocery hauling is not a problem with the trunk, but if you are shopping for a big holiday get-together, you might run out of space for all the stuff unless you fold down the rear seats. Ride can be harsh over some city streets that aren't kept up well though, but that's because the S has harder suspension for cornering. The gas mileage does suffer if you push hard on the freeway. It is after all, still a high revving supercharged engine pushing a car that is not exactly the most aerodynamically shaped.
