Weak engine, but fun and reliable car

The countryman is the perfect compromise for those who want a Mini and still want a workable amount of interior space. The gas mileage is insanely good, it's fun to drive, and you will be running laps past everyone at the stoplights because of how zippy it is. Parking is also never an issue, always lots of space, and easy to maneuver. My only two complaints are that maintenance tends to be expensive (when you factor in the gas savings though, I'd say it pays for itself) and the engine is weak. If you load even just a couple hundred pounds of passengers and cargo into it, it can drive for maybe an hour or so before the engine light kicks on and begs for mercy. I've never had this result in an actual issue that caused a breakdown or required us to pull over, and maintenance confirmed that there are no larger issues with my engine in particular. Turns out that it just limits its own engine power whenever it's struggling. But it is a bit annoying, especially on longer trips.

Most exciting car I?ve owned

My MINI Countryman is such a unique car that fulfills all my dreams about the model. I opted for the MINI because of its sporty ?go-kart? handling and overall aesthetic design. More specifically I went with the Countryman because It?s a great adventure vehicle! Whether I?m off-roading, camping, or on my daily commute I always find myself smiling when driving this car. Without the Harmon Kardon sound system or MINI Connect I do think my stereo is a bit out dated for a 2014 model but it?s not a deal breaker for me. Overall, my MINI is such a versatile car that is reliable (given good care) and most importantly, so much fun to drive!

Nice car.

Cute, nice car, rides easy. A little difficult to get in and out of especially for my elderly mother and she thinks the seats are uncomfortable.

Good Car

Car looks and drives amazing. There are some quarks about it I dont like, like having keyless entry but having to stick the FOB into the dash. And its not as easy to work on yourself as other cars are. But if you like the style of this car I think you would be happy with the purchase.
