Pros

• Styling

  Long time MINI owner of various models over the years; this Untamed Edition Countryman is my first. The styling is unique and attractive. There is much more seating room than my prior MINIs. It is definitely a different ride with pros and cons to that statement. The interior and exterior lighting is wonderful!

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  This year model does not have android auto ('25 or newer) nor BSM.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  I get 610 miles to a full take of gas

• Power

  It is a powerful vehicle and it handles well in sport mode.

• Styling

  I get so many compliments on how it looks when I am zooming around town.

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  Mini is considered a luxury car and the cost for simple routine maintenance can be costly. I recommend the extended warranty if you purchase one.

Pros

• Power

  the acceleration is phenomenal. BMW put some real power into this Mini.

• Dashboard

  love the heads up delay and the infotainment. The circular design is really cool and intuitive.

• Ride and Handling

  Mini handles very well once the tires were replaced. Handles tight turns like a breeze.

Cons

• Cargo Space

  the cargo space is really small, but what do you expect from a mini. Definitely not suitable for hauling a lot of stuff.

• Fuel Economy

  the car takes premium gasoline only. I am at the pump every week and a half and I only drive locally. fuel economy is terrible compared to my former Kia Soul.

• Weather Versatility

  I just chose this because I wanted to speak about the tires. they are terrible! They are run flat summer tires. They are loud! the grip is terrible especially in the rain! The tires will definitely have to be replaced if you buy a mini. I put All Season Continental on my Mini and the ride is amazing. for what you pay for this vehicle; BMW should do a lot better job with the factory tires.

Pros

  instant power in Sport and Mid modes. or choose Green mode to save on fuel when you want.
