I recently traded in my 2019 Cooper 2-door John Cooper Works for a very lightly used 2020 Countryman JCW. As much as it saddened me to let my (real) MINI go, I simply needed more space as this is my only vehicle. I know most buyers probably aren’t cross-shopping between these two models as they are very different cars in many ways. Hopefully, this review is helpful for someone like me- who loves MINI’s and driving fun cars, perhaps owns the 2-door but needs more space and wants to stay with MINI. First, they drive very similar. My Countryman rides MUCH better overall; less stiff and more forgiving over potholes and road imperfections. The Countryman definitely feels bigger and is not as fun to throw around on a twisty road. It’s TOO stable and planted. Also, the power puts down much more stable and seamless with the Countryman. It’s still very quick! But not significantly quicker even with 70 more HP than my 2-door given all the extra weight. My 2-door was certainly more nimble overall, but also a bit flinty. Good and bad depending on the road and traffic conditions. Takeaways here: The Countryman offers a lot of the same in a more livable all-round package. It’s surprisingly spacious and still very fun to drive. I’m looking forward to seeing how it does in the winter having AWD. I live in New England and my 2-door did not feel very stable during especially slippery conditions. Cons: they’re mostly the same as my 2-door- no blind spot monitoring in city traffic is a real drawback. Apple CarPlay is finicky at times. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it chooses not to. The bottom cushion of the sports seat is not comfortable after driving more than an hour or so. The bolstering is too aggressive and cuts into my legs. I’m 6’1 but thin. I imagine this would be very uncomfortable for a heavier and/or taller person. Maintenance costs are high, but my 2-door was very reliable in the 3 years I owned it, only ever needing routine maintenance. I’m hoping my Countryman will be the same. My insurance premium almost cut in half with the Countryman, go figure. There’s another pro to the switch! Overall, I’m happy with purchase! It’s funky but premium, stands out in a crowd and ultimately is a very fun car to drive if that’s a priority for you.

Bought this as a third car to get around town and take the dog, so this is not a show car. I do get great gas mileage, but the overall maintenance is much greater than I had anticipated. I acquired the car with +/- 28000 miles. The battery when dead a few months later but fortunately is was under warrantee. I do have to travel about 2 hours to the closest dealer so that was a bit of a hassle. At +/- 36000 I took it in for required maintenance, oil change, etc. I was informed that the right front motor mount had broken. WOW! It's not as if I abuse the Mini, but really drive it quite safe and sanely. I have treated my Corvette a lot worse and have not had that type of issue. The dealer said this was a commonly known mechanical failure in BMW's and Mini's. He even showed me a box full of broken motor mounts. So I'm wondering what else is going to surprise me next. This is an update: I've not had any additional trouble and things are going okay. This vehicle has turned into the daily driver for all sorts of things but especially taking the dog for walks, hoping, etc. Gets good gas mileage and handles well. Winter is approaching so if like the last I have no fears of driving in the snow.

Don't buy a mini, we are very disappointed on the quality of our car, my wife got a 2019 Countryman lease with option to buy, we pay about $650.00 monthly for it, she drives to and from work so it's about 2 years 8 months since we got it and has 62,000 miles , right about 60000 miles the sunroof cable that closes and opens the sunroof broke and since it had 60k miles when we took it it was out of warranty! And was $850.00 to repair it, took it to service and was told it needed new motor mounts 2 of them $1,500.00 plus we already replace 4 tires and we need to replace them again, replace all brakes and 2 roots I don't even remenber how much it was and now I've had to jump star it like 5 times In last 2 days, you can't get the battery anywhere because it's a new mini,call dealer so the closest appointment it's 7 days from now. Worst car Company I've ever dealt with, even with what I knew before I never though it will be this bad, really hopes this help somebody not make the mistakes we did.
