I gotta say they are very unique cars. I have a buddy who has one and he absolutely loves it because of the fun driving factor it has, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the comment and for watching my channel. If you have any car question just leave a comment and I will do my best to help you out.
I have the 2012 Countryman Cooper S with manual transmission and I have to say it’s been one of my favorite cars to have. Like he says yes not the most reliable but definitely puts a smile on your face when you down shift and fly past people
I love it in the manual, so much fun.
Not the most reliable in what way?
Great review, I have an 06 R52 (convertible) S and you are exactly right about the fun factor and the joy of ownership. I work on the thing all the time and now I want a used Countryman for winter. This may have sold me again! Much appreciated
I really want to drive a manual one again, the auto was really good but when I drove one with a manual it was all smiles.
Although this isn't my style of car, you definitely have me rethinking my options. Seems like a pretty fun daily cruiser👍

Just sold two Mustang GT ,JUST needed a change, such an interesting lil ride! 2014 Mini Countryman S!
They are fun.
Pretty sweet car! Everyone I have talked to loves how they drive as well.
Thank you for the comment and for watching my channel. I had a great time driving this Mini, I just wish it had the manual as I've driven 2 of those previously and I did enjoy that more.
Very nice
I have a 2011 ALL4 , absolutely love it!
Nice, manual or automatic?
@@CruiseControl1 automatic. That way I can drink my beer 🍺😉
Just brought 1 6 speed manual absolutely love it
CONGRATULATIONS! It's a very fun car!
I got the old 1.6diesel turbo !
Love it !
Awesome, thank you for sharing and for watching my channel.
It's odd to see a Countryman ALL4 S with a sun roof, navigation but WITHOUT heated seats (at least there didn't appear to have the button for them in the center stack) or without projector headlights - that (I think) goes back to when you truly could customize your Mini builds - today you have your choice of only option packages and only a very few individual options (such as bonnet stripes and roof color. Find a good independent repair shop that works on German brands (yes, I know that this model is made either in Austria or the Netherlands but it has a lot in common with BMWs) and you might be surprised that it's not too expensive to get those warning lights addressed.
I'm buying the JCW version! Hope I can have it in the next days
For the un-initiated the JCW is the performance version, stands for John Cooper Works.
Congrats on your JCW Luis, thanks for sharing and for watching my channel.
I bought the same car, it sounds like the gearing is grinding. I'm beginning to think it might have a broken motor mount or something. Do you have any recommendations before I get skinned alive taking it into shop?
If it is a broken motor mount that will not cost much to replace. Are you able to visually inspect the mounts to find out which one needs replacing?
Vince - look around for an independent repair shop in your area that specializes in German (specifically BMW) cars - it may not be that costly to address (especially compared to a dealership).
@@Scotty_in_Ohio figured out it was the driver's side wheel bearing. $70 part on Amazon... still got skinned $300 for a 30 minute job. Hawaii life.
You keep saying it's "not the most reliable" and I wish you would have highlighted at least a few issues for a more informed buying choice. Yes, the car looks fun but you mentioned it not being reliable more than once in your mini review without elaborating. How is the headroom for tall people?
I would advise to look at carcomplaints.com and pull the year up you are considering and it displays all of the common issues that people have had to fix. The model I was driving had a warning light for the engine, I am unaware of the exact issue as I was only given this vehicle for a short review. I am 5'11 and I had enough headroom, however the seats felt small to me.
@@CruiseControl1 There are reports of that year, in particular, needing a "costly" turbo charge repair at around the 80,000-mile range. Still, it's a nice-looking car. I'm 6'2" so I'd have to see if I could sit comfortably. Still, it's a nice-looking car.
I will not pretend like this car will not cost you money, however it is very entertaining to drive, and your right nothing looks like it.
@@CruiseControl1 I'm looking at a used model, fore warned is forearmed so I can make a better decision. The only thing left is to go for a test drive because I do like the styling that's unique from just about everything else out there.
I agree that nothing else is really like it, definitely go drive one and if you can I'd recommend a manual. I have driven both and I just really like the manual, it's a lot of fun.
It only has how many miles ?

88k miles
@@CruiseControl1 Hi,
I dont know how old this video is, but its still relevent!
Your video kicked me off the cliff edge.
Now im having fun...
Do you think £1000gbp is too much for a cutch replacement ?
You made somebody over the Atlantic happy...
Hey, thanks buddy.
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. $1k for a clutch is about average cost here to replace a clutch at a shop.
