Fun to drive, but technology is lacking

2019 MINI Countryman Cooper S 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
3 of 7 people found this review helpful
This is a fun car to drive and has some cool little features like the interior lights, the moon roof, and keyless entry. It doesn't have very good technology for how expensive the car is. We were told the car syncs up with a key to keep the settings of the driver, that doesn't work. Google maps is not an option for apps on the system. The mini connected app doesn't function as intended. Can't wait to turn this car back in.

2019 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

We bought this in May of 2019 as my wife got a new job that required a lot of driving and we knew her Jeep was not up to the task. As of today it has 82,000 miles. The only time it has been to the dealer was for regular scheduled maintenance and two instances where the Check Engine Light came on. Both times were software issues. The second time took two weeks for them to sort it out. There was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The software was misreading the data and triggered the light. This car is fast. Way faster than you need it to be. It has been a great road car for us as we zip out for weekend getaways. Plenty of room for a two week trip. When driven conservatively, my wife will easily get 38 to 42mpg. It cost her $19 a week before gas prices rose. Now it is about $30 a week. There are trade offs. The battery storage does not leave room for a spare tire. You will have a difficult time finding a shop that will plug a run flat tire. Our extended maintenance plan has a $50 deductible for tire replacement so that helps. An eight gallon gas tank means you must pay attention to your gas stops on a road trip. I would highly encourage installing a fast charger in your garage. The regular charger will take 8-9 hours. As more chargers are installed in our area, we will benefit. Right now we run all our Saturday morning errands in electric mode. Overall it is a fantastic vehicle. Yes the price was a premium, but it offers premium quality in return. I will not talk about the technology because that is so subjective. What others cannot do without, I will not miss. We can do hands free calls, text and navigation so I am content.

2020 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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.

2021 MINI Countryman Cooper SE ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

Great around town transportation. If you install the home 220/50 AMP CHARGER it’s easy to get to 65+ MPG. Using the Green mode is fun because the just rolls! We are now 1 year into our ownership of the MINI Countryman PHEV and it continues to be a great performer in both low cost of ownership and pleasure to drive around town and short trips. With over 1 year driving both around town and multiple trips of 70 to 300 miles, including lots of freeway miles, we are averaging 64 MPG. In todays world that's pretty great!! If we have one complaint it's the multiple billing processes for chargers on the road.

The cargo space is amazing along with the accelaration.
