Stressless and fun!!

Having owned my cute little Mini Cooper since it was brand new, I decided to trade my MINI in for a larger MINI. In a search I found a beautiful red Countryman at a local dealership and we decided to take a look. What a cutie pie - like my little one on some steroids. She's souped up by her previous owner and I have things I didn't have before, like a sunroof, navigation system and a great turbo! I needed a car with more room and this offers a full size back seat and I don't have to put my seat down to get the groceries in the back any more! The pick up is awesome and she handles beautifully, especially in the snow! I love the little wave you get from other Mini owners when you drive by. Such a fun car!

Super sporty for a great prove

In love with this car! More room than I would have imagined. Great gas mileage and still has power. Heated seats are perfect for winter and auto window down will be great for summer

Fun car to drive...

This car handles very well, a lot bigger than I thought it would be and pretty good on gas. I love the run flat tires but beware they are expensive tires so I would get insurance for the tires.

What a blast!

This car is so much fun to drive! Imagine a family sized go-cart but with the comfort of a long touring car. The All-4 AWD is great in the snow with performance tires. The John Cooper Works package is worth every penny.

Betty White = My White MINI

I drove this car throughout college and 3 years after. It was so much fun. It drove like a go-cart (VERY FAST PICKUP) but was extremely safe. I could fit a lot in the trunk, and could have 3 friends in the car comfortably. The interior was fun because of the "disco" light feature. This car has a ton of personality. Highly recommend it to anyone who needs a small car for commuting or for fun!

Fun Ride but It Comes at a Cost

The S model is a fun and zippy ride. Despite its small exterior, the car has a spacious interior. The middle console beyond the shifter is problematic if you install the cradle for your glasses and cell phone. Routine maintenance costs (e.g. wheel alignment) can run high.

The Blueprint

I am a new Mini owner! So far so good in comparison to a lot of other cars I have owns. The car handles well in all weather, rain-sleet-snow-sun. Owning a Mini is almost like being in a secret society other Mini owners will waive oh honk their horns to greet you when passing by. The vehicule handles well on the freeway, amazing with turns...I find myself zooming along. Feels as though I am driving a race car. He said the middle dash reminds him of Mickey Mouse lol. Excellent purchase.

Mini Cooper Countryman AWD is a BEAST in the snow

This is by far the best car I've ever owned. However, it rides a little rough (tight suspension) and it's not the quietest vehicle. The dashboard icons etc. are a bit confusing as well. Despite these things, the handling -- especially in snow and ice -- is exquisite!
