Could Kick Myself!

Bought a new 2011 Countryman S, Rare Surf Blue w/black wheels. Great fun. Fast, Comfortable, Reliable. Moved out of CA in 2015 and sold the Mini because I thought the roads in the new southern state wouldn't be the best ride. Big Mistake! Could kick myself for selling it!

Fun, comfortable and reliable!

My Countryman S is reliable and just a great car. I bought it with about 80,000 miles and used it as my daily driver now I have over 110,000 miles and runs great. It is probably the best all around SUV considering it is comfortable, fun to drive, great on gas (I get over 30 mpg on the highway) and it has a lot of cargo space for it's size. I would get another one ins a heartbeat.

Yes, it's like a Go-Cart!

I went from a 2008 Clubman to a 2011 Countryman because I wanted a 4-door. This car is an absolute hoot to drive. Love the exterior styling and the fact that no 2 are alike (for the most part). The leather seats and interior styling are top notch. It is a little quirky, and takes time to get used to the window switches and anemic cup holders, but all-in-all very sporty and cool to drive!

Quickest, best, stick shift vehicle ever owned.

Great vehicle but upkeep is very expensive with dealer mechanics and 3 years and 50,000 miles I will go baƧk to a slow, reliable Honda Odyssey.

Exactly what i was looking for

This car is great, the All 4 is what I need here in the Northwoods. The comfort, styling, horsepower is what I was looking for. the fuel economy is fantastic too.

Love the experience of driving this car.

It's stylish, sporty, and solid. Drives like a dream. The technology is over the top, there's nothing it won't do for you short of driving it for you. Easy to handle, stops on a dime, and accelerates like a panther if you want it to.

A fun car that can haul fertilizer and grandkids

The Countryman can haul grandkids or carve a mean turn on track. It can transport a date to a formal or transport debris to the dump. It can be useful or playful in the same hour but always delivering fun.
