New 2024 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works: The BEST SUV yet...

In this video, I take the brand-new 2024 Mini Countryman camping… and because I’m a bit of a nerd, I reveal the tech I took with me to make the trip ‘comfortable’ (you won’t believe one of the items). But, more importantly, I answer the big question: should you buy the new Mini Countryman?

One of the best reviews I've seen for the U25 JCW!
A practical and fun car, definitely worth buying it as I will do shortly 😎

[Lumi]

Ordered mine in March, already produced and waiting for transport. Cannot wait !

[grclink]

Thank you for being the first person on the internet to show Android Auto in this car

Got the exact same car as in your review in Feb and it was one of the first and it’s great on every level, Mini have done an excellent job with this new model as it lives up-to expectations..

My first car was a Mini Clubman estate - with the wooden bits 🙂. I used to take it down to Cornwall on surf trips and at night I'd unbolt the front seat turn it round and sleep in the back! I work for a certain German car company now delivering lots of EV's, BYD's, Ora's and various secondhand cars. The most enjoyable trip I've recently done was a secondhand Mini Countryman (petrol) to Dunfermline from Devon. I loved the car, so comfortable and fun to drive. I've heard the range on Mini EVs isn't good 🤔

Glad I saw the vlogs before this review - loving the behind the scenes stuff.

Thanks, as always!

Thank you

Nice review ... I love the edition of car reviews to your channel. I'm here for ALL of it.

Great video and review Mark - I was waiting for this to drop after watching your creator series. I have always liked Coopers but felt I was too tall for them. This one might be a game changer for me! Cheers

I think the interior is great and as a modern look on the classic MORRIS, MINIi. I just think the headlights should of stayed round and it would of been perfect.

Brilliant review. I had the older Countryman JCW which was devastatingly upgraded from 230bhp to 300bhp 3 months after I bought it. Currently have an XC40 Recharge Twin, which, feels like it could rip a hole in space time when you floor it. But, range is a challenge outside of cities here in Australia. Seriously considering this new JCW. Would love to keep an EV but the charging infra here is so sparse outside of cities, EVs become a buzz around car that get charged at home. Even the charge network you can access in car parks etc. usually has a tech bros Tesla sat there enjoying an 8hr camp. I do think they should have made this a hybrid though.

[paulwarner]

great review Mark, not sure im so keen on the look of the mini though. I feared a brokeback mountain remake at first!!

[angelgamingstreams]

Love the epic sound effects. Agree with others re: that it looks big and not Mini and also ugly. Bring back a nice blue etc normal Mini colours.

[anthonyhardison]

You said that the key is part of the switch, so if someone broke into the car can they drive it

[angelgamingstreams]

Love all the USB-C charging ports plus the wireless charging. Do you know if they support USB-C PD for fast charging?

[rGreenninja]

Definitely not one of your normal reviews but still very good, not sure I like the looks of the Countryman though

[trojak]

I wish you would review the new Countryman E

[owlley]

great car, but that price! loved the review.

[angelgamingstreams]

The personalised exterior lights are cool. Get Nothing vibes from it.
