reviewed by Carbuyer

The Countryman is the first four-door MINI and aims to offer increased practicality without diluting any of the fun associated with the MINI brand. Overall it's a great success, with fantastic handling and a stylish and luxurious cabin. Our only gripes concern the boot – it's big compared to a standard MINI, but crossover rivals offer more space – and the high asking price.
