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.
Fun to drive, but technology is lacking

2019 MINI Countryman Cooper S 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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.

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.
The best small crossover you can buy.

We’re on our second Mini and 3rd BMW product and I can’t say enough good about it. Motortrend gave this car a 6/10 but I think it’s more around 9.5/10/10. On the highway in green mode, I can get over 35 MPG which is actually insane for a car that can go 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. It does everything well. The Harman Kardon sound system is great as are the optional adaptive dampers. There’s a lot of folks that say it’s too harsh when driving, but I really only notice it being harsh while in Sport. In any other mode, it’s light and easy to drive. We are a couple in our 30’s with 2 dogs and it’s the perfect size. The ONLY complaint I have is turbo lag off the line. 10/10!!

2020 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
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.
