2012 MINI Cooper S Countryman consumer reviews

In my opinion the 2012 Mini Cooper S countryman is great. it's like a Mini Cooper that has more room but you still have to deal with the BMW repair prices and BMW repair prices are crap.but aside from that it's not bad at all. It has a turbocharged 1.6 liter Inline 4 engine which is not great for reliability.I can only recommend this car with low miles unless you are a mechanic and you can fix your own car but if not it will be a maintnence nightmare and burn your wallet. they get a lot of failed turbos which can be expensive to fix. The exterior is good it looks super cute!!

Bought the car new in 2012, drove it through 3 sets of tires to 160,000 and no issues through out,,,, just sold it to the greatest mom for her super good son, he going to love it.... Loved it, and would buy again,,,,, James

BIGGEST PIECE OF xxxx I'VE EVER BOUGHT IN MY ENTIRE xxxxING LIFE DO NOT BUY ONE!!! UNLESS YOU GOT A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR THAT'S ALL I'VE DONE AND GIVING MY CAR TO CHARITY FOR SUCKER THAT GETS IT I FEEL BAD FOR HIM BUT IT'S FREE SERIOUSLY MARK MY WORDS DON'T BUY THIS CAR WHATSOEVER I WILL NEVER EVER EVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE EVER AGAIN!!!

Bought the car at the end of 2019 (S-All4 Turbo) and have had problems with coolant, thermostat, oil pressure sensors, etc. None of the repairs are cheap. I'm at 100k and the turbo is begginning to perish....must get rid before it costs me 4k+...I'm not recommending this car unless you make BMW money and can afford BMW repairs

I purchased my Mini Cooper Countryman S 2012, in 2020 38,000 miles on it. Since i have owned it i ran into nothing but problems. I had to pay $1500 to fix my engine coolant and replace the thermostat. I had to pay another $915 for another engine repair and $510 for a wheel bearing on a tire. This car is just the worse! I love the look of it and it is fun to drive however, you run into so many problems. I'm only at 60,000 miles and i'm done with it. I'll never buy mini again and will be trading it in.

Bought the car in June 2022 have been able to make 2 round trips in it as thir was something draining the battery, ignition problems that cost 1300 including the diagnosis fee not covered by the service contract. Got 2 new keys, very expensive only to be told nope can't drive it yet as someone had tried to steal the car and messed up the ignition to tune of another 1300. Still waiting on the part as it's back ordered and I am number 447 in line.

It has been nothing but a money pit, I’m so disappointed. I only wish I had been informed as to how defective this automobile really was. The list of problems never stops . It has been a very bad experience.

Lots of issues Probably the lemon lot I purchased from. -cas module -brakes rotors -bumper came off on highway. -clicking from fuse box -won’t start some days

Car drives just great! Quick off the start, great passing oompth on the freeway. I just put the transmission into the sport mode and hang on! Fun to drive, great gas mileage, excellent warranty. And, the best dealership (Mini of Montgomery County ) I have ever dealt with.
