    THANKS TO CREVIER MINI!
    www.creviermini.com/
    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.

      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.

    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 can go to any channel and find out how much horsepower a car has. But only you would say why the DTRL LED turns off when the signal light is engaged and the mandate to back it. So it’s just a suggestion but I like learning about how things are and the way that it is. You seem to convey that seamlessly!

Although it’s a classic configuration with its 2 doors and a manual, the trolls still hate on it. Unless it’s a first gen new mini or a classic, those trolls won’t be happy.

      I own a 2014 F56 Cooper S. Has the same interior setup. Honestly it's not distracting at all, and can be dimmed down or turned off completely. Not really an issue.
