My friend got one of these for his birthday (fully loaded but pre-owned) and he said that only thing he hates about the car is the speedometer being in the center of the car because his parents can see how fast he's going when they drive with him. Haha.
Personally, I don't care what anyone says, I love this car. I think it's good looking, well equipped, has loads of personality, and is still quite practical. People may say it's too big to be a Mini, but to keep things in perspective, it's still about 4 inches shorter than a VW Golf. It's a very small car but has a surprisingly spacious interior.
Amazing review! My first car was an old 2002 Honda Accord that I've been driving for a little over a year, but my dad surprised me with one of these yesterday. It was quite the upgrade from my simple Honda, so this video was extremely helpful in helping me learn about all of the functions the car has to offer! :)
Awesome tour of the car! I've been thinking about either getting a Mini Cooper Countryman or a Dodge Charger, and I'm not gonna lie, as cool as a Charger would be.... This video sold me on the Mini. This was a great, in-depth tour, and showed me all the great features of the car as well as how much space is in the back. I need space for subwoofers, which will definitely fit in the compartment in the back, and I need room for lots of guitar gear. I wasn't sure if all that stuff would be able to fit until I watched this video. Thanks for showing everything the car has to offer!
Excellent video. This was the best car review video I have ever seen. I was considering Mini Countryman, which is how I got to this video and now I am very excited to go to the dealership.. Can't wait. As long as the price is good and the ride is good, I'm sold, especially after watching this video.. Thanks!!!
i feels like an x1 with the seating position but the steering is much lighter and if you go for anything other than the cooper s model you can feel the weight , hope this was useful
If you do a little research on some of the MINI forums (NAM, for example) you will learn that these models have tons of first-year problems. Thermostats that shut down the engine (and MINI is replacing them with the same, crappy parts, so many have had their thermostat replaced 3 or 4 times), chrome that peels off outside and constant yellow engine warnings. If interested in a Countryman, I would wait another year for them to iron out the kinks.
So im basically plannig on getting this exact car EXPECT its an S with the older version radio (no screen) is it possible to get it changed out to what you showed here?
@mininick0001 ... yes, BMW bought the original British brand in the 1990s where the original Mini was still made up until 2000. The new (BMW) Mini has been around since 2001. They are still made in Britain.
The orange gauge lighting, the screen on the standard radio and the controller for the Miniconnected system (similar to the idrive's controller), etc. sure there isn't a ton of BMW-ness. but i see what he means.
@techdude6693 Yeah on a BMW or Mini without the keyless option, you still have to dig out they key fob to unlock and start the car but on cars with it you can of course unlock the car without pressing the key and you shouldn't have to insert the key fob to start it unless you just want to. That's how my friends 3 series convertible works. He never has to dig out the key to do anything.
hey i have a question for whom tried this car, when your on the road do you feel the car driving? or does it feels quite like other BMW cars such as x5 and x6...ect. i want to know if it feels like it floats while driving and light...
Good looking car might get one for my birthday. Can anyone tell me about how much would maintenance cost i know it's kind of expensive being a line from bmw and audi.
joel b The maintenance needed is very low and can cost a lot of money, however, if you go to your local Mini dealer when you first buy the car you can get a maintenance plan that cost around $4000 and covers EVERTHING (suspension, brake pads, oil changes, etc.) for about 5 - 6 years after your manufacturer warranty ends. So if you do get one I would look into that :)
I want one ..... Dramatic as mine, but I have the big S and mini coop is a machine ... But I need one so ... Good car if Mr. ... It shows in the road and in Mirades in the city. A machine rregla throughout ... Try it ....

Wow , you need to stay 20mph over the limit when you drive this car 🤗 or else what's the point of buying a mini
same lolll

Believe it or not, this is the most spacious car I've ever been in and I'm 6' 2".

I love the sound of when you insert the key
Been waiting for this one for a while. Both the car and the video don't disappoint!

I am in love with this car!!
I was in the eighth grade when this video came out, oh the nostalgia
SO NOW YOU ARE A SENIOR CITIZEN!
@@prins_af_danmark 🤣🤣🤣 yep pretty much 🤣🤣
Just bought one based on this detailed review. Thanks!!!
dreamingcode congrats! love the countrymans
I personally like the not-so-hidden-Mickey concept. Cute yet stylish. Very nice!
GREAT VIDEO. I LOVE THE SLIGHTLY SOUTHERN ACCENT (DRAWL)!
love the looks, performance and efficiency of this car. Would be perfect for me too bad its expensive
I just purchased one recently, can't wait to drive it....
The first video I ever watched from you…
Commenting because Seether was on that radio and I love them.
Dear Santa, I've been a good boy this year...
:P
When I heard the exhaust pop on mine for the first time, I was shocked😂
same man
Great video as always Kyle!
i feels like an x1 with the seating position but the steering is much lighter and if you go for anything other than the cooper s model you can feel the weight , hope this was useful
Very nice car and excellent review! I hope to own one soon.
Recommended this car for Family...One day i can get this car :)
1:40 I remember hearing this sound back when my dad had this car
I WANT ONE SO BAD!!! MOAR MINI REVIEWS!
I like the Countryman!
Stylist MINI I've ever seen.
Guy did a perfect review on it
Best Sports Car Ever...
Very well presented, thank you!
In some models you can get the center track to go from the front to the backseat, making better use of the sliding cup holders.
The all wheel drive model is the Countryman All4S model. The one in the video the Countryman S, is front wheel drive.
If you do a little research on some of the MINI forums (NAM, for example) you will learn that these models have tons of first-year problems. Thermostats that shut down the engine (and MINI is replacing them with the same, crappy parts, so many have had their thermostat replaced 3 or 4 times), chrome that peels off outside and constant yellow engine warnings.

Nice BMW.
Cute little chime, too.
Kyle, where are those older cars? The common cars? The classic cars? I'm missing them! Your channel is exclusive here because of this type of car.
this is my car to come, but in black instead :D
So im basically plannig on getting this exact car EXPECT its an S with the older version radio (no screen) is it possible to get it changed out to what you showed here?
OMG GOTTA LOVE THOSE COUNTRYMANS SO COOL AND NICE AND SPORTY
@mininick0001 ... yes, BMW bought the original British brand in the 1990s where the original Mini was still made up until 2000. The new (BMW) Mini has been around since 2001. They are still made in Britain.
nice reviews man
The orange gauge lighting, the screen on the standard radio and the controller for the Miniconnected system (similar to the idrive's controller), etc.
sure there isn't a ton of BMW-ness. but i see what he means.
Mini Cooper production has the best QA team in the world ...
grande saab o deciso di prendermi una mini dopo aver visto il video
Very good review
Keep up the good work Kyle, but I am also still waiting for a video on a 2011 or 2012 Infiniti Qx56
now i want one
It's a mini on steroids
Ricky Spano ikr!!
please do more of these vids!!!
Hendrick? as in Rick Hendrick, the NASCAR Sprint Cup team owner? Makes sense, as you are in Charlotte.
Mini needs to make a TDI! That would be bad ass.
Is 9k a good price for a 2012 countryman s with 116k miles?
@techdude6693 Yeah on a BMW or Mini without the keyless option, you still have to dig out they key fob to unlock and start the car but on cars with it you can of course unlock the car without pressing the key and you shouldn't have to insert the key fob to start it unless you just want to. That's how my friends 3 series convertible works. He never has to dig out the key to do anything.
@AndrewParkerTV yea, on my Mazda 3, that's what will happen if you press the start button without pushing down the brake pedal
I love the 4 door.
I really like this car.
i love the turn signal noise
Not a bad car, has some nice features.
the 2010-present Mini Countryman is assembled in
Graz, Austria
Start Up 1:41
Exhaust 1:49
I LOVE IT!
@RedRoosterRoad I believe he has said before he can't really do that unless he's at his family's dealership.
kyle, u should do a review on the new range rover evoque, the coupe and the sedan but make them both prestige edition please
please tell me what is the name of the song that was playing in the radio on this video
I was sold once he started blasting Seether. 🤣
good review! thanks! (:
1:41
1:49
You're welcome
Why does the engine always sound so ticky? I’ve gone to view two and I’ve been worried that the timing chain is stretched due to the noise 🤷♀️🤦🏽♀️?
0:20 MINIs! MINIs everywhere!
Why does mini always put the huge speedo in the car. Does mini offer a version w/o the huge gauge in the middle?
I do think that this hatchback is a bit better than the Focus you just did.
hey i have a question for whom tried this car, when your on the road do you feel the car driving? or does it feels quite like other BMW cars such as x5 and x6...ect. i want to know if it feels like it floats while driving and light...
all the mini chimes seem to be different as i've heard them? are they like customizable?
My 2012 Mini Countryman is different. The stereo system is very different, no sunroof, no push button entry on driver's door. I thought I have an R60?
I love these cars, but their interior doesn't set right with me. It just looks all over the place.
why is the automatic optional
What is the cost of the 2013 COUTRYMAN MINI BMW that is beige & how many miles r on the vehicle?
Are those touch door handles to open the doors? I WANT ONE!
@RedRoosterRoad How is it in any way like a 3 series lol, Im just curious?
Good looking car might get one for my birthday. Can anyone tell me about how much would maintenance cost i know it's kind of expensive being a line from bmw and audi.

So if you do get one I would look into that :)
Bout time they give a Mini a traditional 4-dor.
Excellent seller!
This is one "Massive" Cooper.
WhiskeyLima it looks like a mini on steroids
Do all R60 Countryman S have sunroof?
the chime is amazing, do do do do. lol
I want one ..... Dramatic as mine, but I have the big S and mini coop is a machine ... But I need one so ... Good car if Mr. ... It shows in the road and in Mirades in the city. A machine rregla throughout ... Try it ....
The engine already knocking
@TheCarlsonsRaiders he has many dealership all across the nation. all sorts of different manufacturers.
Can you do a video on the fiat 500L?
Parlantes Harman Kandon, los escuche de un mini mas viejo y son increiblesss!
}
ive never heard a mini idle so loudly.
is it me or does the center display of the countryman looks like the center display of the gadgetmobile in inspector gadget
Do you say CUT on the headlights?
do you know if these are good in the snow?
How good is the Mini Cooper?
While I hate its looks, character and loss of Mini charm, I ashamed to say I saw one at my local Mini dealer with rally decals and I liked it :(
How much is a 4 door mini cooper stock base model these days?
Meu carro... Lindoooo
Mini is a brand it has a small reflection on the product now.
it's quite unique exept the oval shape
can you do a 1960-1970 mini cooper?
