Just £14,000 is enough to put you behind the wheel of this premium badged SUV... But what do you need to watch out for?
This changed somewhat in late 2018 with the introduction of 'style' tiers to Cooper and Cooper S models: Classic, Sport and Exclusive. Think of them as Classic being the standard version, Sport having the more athletic styling inside and out , and Exclusive being the posh one with a bespoke alloy wheel design and fancier leather seats inside. The various optional packs continued as before.
Minis have a reputation for terrific handling, and the Countryman is certainly sharper than most SUVs to drive, with minimal body lean if you throw it into a corner and a responsive front end that turns in sharply, making the whole car feel agile and nimble. However, it isn’t perfect; for one thing, the steering doesn’t offer the same incisive feedback as smaller cars, and it’s far too heavy, making the Countryman a bit of a chore when the time comes to park it.
You also pay the price for that tight handling the instant you go over a bump. Well, actually, you don’t even need a bump to tell how firm the Countryman’s suspension is; the slightest imperfection in the road surface will communicate that to you. Even the regular models suffer from a bouncy ride, while the hot Cooper S model is firm enough to jiggle your teeth around.
