The small fun car for tall people!

This is our third MINI. We have a 2008 Cooper and a 2013 Countryman. It's become an addiction. Usually, by the time we pay off a vehicle we want to replace it. Not with MINI. We love ours and the 2016 Countryman is no exception. It's larger than the 2013, but it's still familiar. I'm the shortest at 5'9". Hubby is just under 6' and our son is 6'2". We all feel like the MINI's were designed for tall people. We refer to them as TARDISes because they are bigger on the inside. Smooth ride. Comfortable handling. Safe. Extremely reliable. Stylish. Would highly recommend.

Dream car as good as it looks!

This car is a joy to drive. I've wanted one for years and finally took the plunge...I'm so glad I did! Don't let the small size fool you...it's roomy!

Fun to drive!

I purchased the used 2016 Mini S Countryman All Wheel Drive in March 2019. It is a great car for everyday commuting, with a lot of options including leather seats and sunroof. I did about 10k miles (currently at 33k). It has a sportive driving at low fuel consumption. Lots of fun to drive with great mechanics and reliability of a German car.

Owned it for a week and its a nice car

I've owned it for a week and i liked the car, but i havent driven it much because of problems with the dealership itself. But its very comfortable, the seats hug you and people of different heights have sat in it since ive gotten it cause im a small person and its a small car, and they all say the same. Its very stylish and you can buy custom fitted inserts on Amazon that go into all of the cup holders and side door panels as well as a ton of other mini branded merch to add little upgrades or style improvements for the car which I like. It drives like a zippy little go-kart and the turbo packs a punch for the small engine size making it easy to speed. I would recommend this car 10/10. But because I haven't owned it long cannot attest to reliability, or value for money due to the dealership issues.

I meets the needs of what we where expecting. It is sporty and roomy for a small car. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for something fun.

Great affordable “new” car

The car is great, way more spacious than it looks and handles well. I am disappointed with how hard it is to link the key fob to the vehicle. Overall I am very satisfied.

Once you own a MINI you will always want one.

This is our second MINI. it is primarily my wife’s car but I love to drive it any chance I get. May not be great for someone over 6’. Can’t wait for our MINI adventures motoring.

Fun, economical, stylish looking, fast and roomy

Second Mini we have owned. Really fun to drive and has a surprising amount of interior room. Very fast with 4 cylinder turbo and manual 6 speed transmission.

Very nice

Mini Cooper countryman jcw is a very nice car. It has everything i wanted . manual trans, power windows,sun roof, turbo, awesome self adjustable headlights which i didn't even know came with the car but love. I can fit my golf clubs in it and still have room to go to the grocery store . it's not a fast car but a quick car which is ok for city driving .i do prefer fast but i am happy with this car. If i wanted i could make it fast with upgrades. All in all its a perfect car for me and my needs so im very happy with the performance and my everyday driving .
