The Mini Countryman is Mini's SUV -- and it's better than you might think. I've always liked the Mini Countryman, and today I'm reviewing the Countryman S John Cooper Works to explain why I like it so much.

Electric seats have more possible positions than manual seats though. I don't care for electric seats only because I never have to adjust my seat after the first time so why bother.

[@petersharp90]

If you share a car with someone else and you are different heights then electric seats with memory presets are great. If you're the only one that drives your vehicle then electric seas are unnecessary - expensive, heavy and more things to go wrong.

[@Mid-no3pk]

They're lighter, it's faster to get them in the right spot, and in coupes you dont have to wait like 15 seconds for the seat to move up so you can get in back, then wait another 15 seconds for the seat to move back. They're objectively better.

[@xavierramirez330]

no you can get it exactly right in electric and you can even do it on the move. do that in a manual and you'll slide all the way back or all the way front if your braking lol

[@stevenb7319]

Most of the strange quirks you mentioned are a very traditional mini thing. The red for sport is a John cooper works color scheme. The plaid pattern was an interior option for the old minis. The checkerboard was a common roof paint scheme since forever. The central circle in the dashboard goes back to the old mini’s where ALL the gauges were in a circle. I had a 1974 mini while I lived in England and seeing a lot of the Cary overs are cool. Most people hate the 3 cylinder engine since for a while it wasn’t made by BMW and suffered as far as reliability, power and fuel economy. As far as all the things that made you smile is what made people into Mini people. Many of the things they got rid of with the Countryman is what many of the purists loved. That being said I will take it over any other crossover if price wasn’t a issue. Thanks for the great review.

I love how you describe the Mini Cooper. It’s definitely a cute small suv and I’ve wanted it ever since I saw it ♥️

[@stevey500]

Absolutely love ours. Three years we've been putting it through its paces and at 108k miles with minimal issues. Nothing but absolutely comfortable and fun for both the person in the driver seat and even the back seat. It's a very practical mini monster in a class of its own.

Man, I love that engine sound. It really reminds me of how a lot of cars sounded in video games of the early 2000's. I wonder if it's all authentic, or of some of it is piped in.

7:25 The plaid padding on the bottom of the storage bins is for using the rest of the speedometer (160 MPH). Once you reach 120 throw the pad on the dash to bypass Ludicrous Speed and go right to Plaid.

Power seats are nice, but I'd definitely forgo them for a better quality interior. I don't move my seat that often, and it's usually faster to do it manually than wait for a little motor to do it for me.

[@sanfranciscolight]

Hey Doug, good review. One way to get more value is to buy a lightly used one. I bought a 2016 S All 4 (previous model to the one you reviewed) with 18k miles in perfect condition for $20k and I absolutely love it!

[@bonniestratton7944]

I bought my 2017 in 2021 w/ 34k and got it for no more than a plain clone suv car that was a little newer.

Something to note about the circle: It can also be changed to a tachometer instead of the ambient light color Also, the lighting isn't fixed to a set of colors, if you hold down the toggle rather than pressing it and releasing it will begin to cycle through the spectrum and you can stop it wherever between the preset colors.

I’ve driven one of these for the last nine years. Provably one of the best cars I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. OK I live in Sweden where it’s snowing so the four-wheel-drive is great but in general it drives like a gokart, has plenty of room and never fails to put a smile on my face.

@@blue85246 I replaced it with a Mini SE electric about a year ago. Had a few minor problems like the heater fan motor dying and boot latch flaking out but otherwise it was reliable and roomy. I would recommend always going for 16 inch rims if you can. It rides too crashy on 17 and 18s as it is sports car suspension.

A Jaguar isn’t much of an actual Jaguar is it? The MINI cooper was made decades and decades ago, brands change, it would be stupid for them to only make “mini” cars because that’s what their company is called. This comment is so overused

I'm about to by the same car 2019 John Cooper Works. Great video it's helpful most your videos are. You do a lot of research and I'm surprised you missed a couple things. The seats aren't standard you can get different seats with it I actually think there's either two or three different options that one was ordered with racing seats because they're racing seats they're not powered. Mine comes with power seats and memory seats I think mine's an 8-way power. Also how did you miss the armrest it's adjustable you can make it higher or lower depending on how tall you are in the seat I think that's a great feature and also the second thing is the hidden compartment underneath the trunk floor. I was really taken by the vehicle when I took a test drive I think it hits all the buttons I'm looking for.

I just got a Mini like this, grey with red finishes for the 60th Birthday!!! Loving this car in every way!
