Rented a 2020 Mini

2019 MINI Countryman Cooper ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo 6M)

I have to say the 2020 (not a 2019) Countryman I rented for 5 days was so much fun!!! The car only had the 1.5 engine, but I found no problem with the car’s acceleration getting up to speed on the freeways in Southern California traffic. I was surprised to find that the car sat much higher than expected. I assumed I would be hauling myself up and out of the car, but I was wrong. There are numerous upscale touches that makes the Mini feel like a luxury SUV. I am now looking to purchase one. The car Is fun to drive and makes me smile.

Disappointing

Don't Buy. Originally our salesman, Ryan George in Palm Harbor, Florida mentioned the mileage would be about 65 miles per gallon and that was also in the advertising. This was appealing to us as I do a lot of driving in my business. So we traded the Countryman we had just purchased for the hybrid. The mileage is much less than expected or advertised. So far, in less than 1,000 miles, 38.7 mpg. Even fully charged, the battery gets less than 15 miles before switching over to the engine. Very disappointing. We are going on facebook to see how many other people are having these results and if we come up with 100 or more, we may bring a class action suit against Mini Cooper/BMW for false advertising. I am a little embarrassed too, as I told a lot of clients and friends that I was going to do this because of the mileage as well as the overall appearance and performance of the Countryman, so with such a disappointing performance, I really can't justify the investment.

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.

Fantastic Sporty Luxury SUV

Richie Rich, 08/20/2024
2022 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Bought a CPO 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman JCW All4 off a two year lease. I owned a Mini Cooper in the past but this one is absolutely a fun and fast luxury compact suv to drive and ride in. Being a 4 door and having AWD make it a family car as well as a sporty vehicle to drive. I have had many people notice it and have referred a lot of them to the Mini Dealership. 4.2 seconds 0-60 plus a dynamic suspension make this vehicle just a joy and plain fun to drive. The 4 cylinder twin turbo in the sport mode make the acceleration unbelievable. The front sport leather seats with power and heating are the best I’ve ever sat in. Navigation, Sirius HK 12 speaker HD radio, Apple Play, and sizable circular display make this vehicle awesome. I am 70 years old and I will purchase Mini’s until I can’t drive anymore. Congrats to BMW for making a vehicle that is not only fun and fast to drive but gives an “old man” enjoyment and excitement to look forward to on every drive.

High quality, strong, fun to drive. Expensive, but I'm okay with it.
