Does the 2019 Mini Countryman S All4 prove you shouldn't BUY an SUV?

Just brought this car today ... I owned 2 minis growing up in England loved them, moved to the states 5 years ago and after 2 Cars I owned ive come full circle and gone back to my old faithful mini, i love this model it’s so sporty!

Just want people to keep in mind that $39k price tag is due to added options in typical Mini (and BMW) fashion. A base Countryman S All 4 (and the base comes very well equipped) with just adding heated seats, extra cost paint and satellite radio is $33.5k. And if you just want the entry level Countryman w/o awd or upgraded engine you're around $28k. I love that Mini gives you options with colors, engines, transmissions and fwd or awd. "You're buying a legend, you're buying a tradition, you're buying fun!" - Awesome quote about buying a Mini. Usually not a huge fan of these crossovers but I like the job Mini did with this in retaining somewhat of the Mini look while not making it huge and sit up way high like other SUVs.

Drove the countryman as a loner, it’s a great car. I just love the fact I can park my hardtop S I spots I would never find with a bigger car. I always find a parking space in between peoples driveways and don’t have to keep looking.

I love my 2019 Countryman S All4! So fun to drive! My friend says is "feels like her old 911 Porsche!" Makes me so happy!

I love my 2019 Countryman S All 4 - peppy and fun! I drove Volvo for 15+ years (98 & 2000 box-style) and had a tough time finding that sturdy feeling in any hatchback I tested. Love the Harmon Kardon sound as well! Vroom vroom!!!

18:24 WHAT !!!??? A recanted "Zonk". but justified. The MINI brand is niche and cool. Another great review 👍

Minis are great fun, closer to a jet powered skateboard than just about any other vehicle. Just about any version is a hoot to drive. In addition one buys into a cult-like ownership experience in which Mini drivers still wave to one another on the highway and drive long distances for annual events. The Mini offers far more configuration options than any vehicle in its class with literally thousands of variations possible in each version. But that configurability comes at a significant cost. It's possible to layer on options that take the MSRP to well over $50, 000 for a loaded JCW Countryman.

At $36K, or so the Countryman is not a bad deal versus comparable rivals like the Golf R, the Civic Type R, and what's likely to be the real world price of the Veloster N. That assumes, however, that it's not a loss leader price designed to draw customers into a showroom where they find that the last $36K model was "sold yesterday" but some other more expensive models are still available.

I think MINIs are great cars. But unless the sales declines are reversed I suspect BMW may decide that tradition, funky design, and distinctiveness aren't worth the effort.

"I recant my zonk." LOL. great and fun review Joe. Mabey a little info on the sound systems in the cars you review? Great car, but like you said, a little more this and that for 40k would be appreciated.

Great review Joe, love just how detailed your reviews always are 👍🏻 if you had to choose between the Mini Countryman S, Subaru Crosstrek limited or the Hyundai Kona limited, I’m in the market for a Sub compact SUV, these are 3 of my think 🤔 LoL
