After two years or so I usually begin tiring of a car and look for excuses to buy something else. But after 27,000 miles and over two years I continue to enjoy this car every day. Not a single issue or expense (the first three oil changes are free) other than gas. Service has been easy to schedule and is very efficient. Interior doesn't show any sign of wear, nor does the exterior. It is squeak and rattle-free. This car is fast, comfortable and surprisingly roomy. Good on the highway and in-town, where we must navigate many narrow streets and squeeze into tight parking spaces. Tried out a brand new one when mine was in for services. It's bigger, for sure. But the interior is ugly in my opinion and it doesn't handle nearly as well as my '23. It may not have the go-cart handling of the smaller Minis, but it performs much better than direct competitors. It can run at 75-80 all day with good gas mileage (33+ mpg), has confidence-inspiring passing power and stealth speed from a standing start. Rear seats move back for more rear-passenger room and fold flat for hauling stuff. If you don't need it for big-box purchases or (guys) worry about your self image a lot, this is a great car to consider.

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.

2020 MINI Countryman Cooper S ALL4 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
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.

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)

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.
