Much easier to deal w traffic and avoid accidents, since maneuvers so easy. Noise level blocked when windows and 2 sunroof shut. Sporty, for sure, yet so practical w 3rd "suicide door. Amazing room for storage, and carrying heavy items! I have 2 white dogs, and because this particular Club was special ordered, only one I'm aware of w real white leather seats. (Makes so much easier to clean). Just wish I can find the roof racks for it at a good price. We're definite Mini lovers! Ps my own only complaint is how mini engineered the radiator hose! I just changed out myself, due to a slight hole in hose, from being as low and behind the front bumper! Stupid. I may need to invest in air shocks, to heighten vehicle. Have since tied up +ok.
My third Mini, the first two being hard tops. The Countryman is larger, sits higher and obviously has more cargo capacity. BUT it is just as fun as its little sibling. I have the S with a six speed, Harmon Kardon sound, HID headlights, rain sensing wipers and the split back seat (4 seater) instead of the bench back seat. I love the six speed but then again I loved the automatic in my hardtop S so I don't think you can go wrong either way. This car makes getting from A to B even if it is a long drive fun and it looks good doing it!
Loved my first Mini Cooper S and wanted the same thing but a bit bigger with 4 doors. They started making a 4 door original Mini in 2015 so I was holding out on trading until that model came up. It was worth the wait. It's a bit longer and a bit wider with a very economical "green mode" for better mileage although "sport mode" is still a fun option.
