How does it work with BOTB with regard to car options? Suppose I was gonna spec a car that cost 40k base price but I see that there'd be 15k of options I'd add to that. Then I win one of those cars through BOTB. Do I get a base 40k car delivered? Do I get to add extra options and pay the extra 15k for them or get them free? Something I've alwats wondered.

Hi 😊 BOTB pay for the car that’s listed on the website, most of which are the top of the range so will already come highly loaded with spec. If you wanted something specific then you’d have to pay the extra, which is why a lot of people also play for the £20k incase they want to add something.

Yeah if one wants to own a Mini Hatch practicality should be the last thing they concern themselves with. There's other larger Minis in the range more suited to their needs anyway. Although I personally consider the Hatch to be the most beautiful and refined. The Countryman just doesn't look as nice IMHO. Still anyone worried about practically should just get a bigger car in the first place.

I’m an incredibly proud mini owner and I absolutely love my mini. Sticks to the ground, goes halfway around the world on a tank of fuel and looks gorgeous. Sorry five door, but the mini must be a 2/3 door or she doesn’t look like a mini. I wanted the union flag rear lights but my little Pepper didn’t have that option.

When the handbrake is off the arm rest will lower as far as sitting on top of the brake lever,so gives a bit more room to change gear without blocking your hand and wrist as much and raise up as you lift the brake lever,i mange to drive with it down all the time .

The arm rest is adjustable up and down. It pivots down and that puts it in a lower position. I had the car for a few weeks before I realized that.

Is the cooper sport 1.5 turbo charged a JCWs.?

I did own a 2016 Countryman S It was dead reliable for 4 years I owned it. Only real issue I had was the overpriced maintenance for an economy hatch! The fuel was great for around city and from my turbo 1.6L petrol, i got up to 44 mpg highways. Great for long trips :) If you do buy a MINI, just be knowledgeable on how to maintain a vehicle in general. A lot of people who purchase one, don’t maintain their vehicles and let them go to trash! Hence why there are so many claims they are unreliable. I drove mine to 110,000 km No issues at all! But i just didn’t have a proper job at the time to afford the crazy maintenance costs.

Is this the thunder grey?

In the last few years, the car industry has decimated the compact car class to a devastating degree. If you're a buyer like I am, and you want a compact car, your choices are now horribly limited. The Mini now being not just one of the best, but one of the only choices left. Perfect example of what I mean: VW's current generation "Compact" Jetta. Look at it. In terms of size, it's a VW Mid-size Passat masquerading as a Jetta. If I wanted more room in the boot or a backseat that could comfortably carry adults for hours at a time, I'd buy another Mid-size sedan. Bought one years ago, personally; it was a mistake. I don't care if the backseat is not suitable for two large adults. It'll rarely see anyone's backside. The boot is plenty big enough for a breakdown bag, and my work-bag; without the rear seats folded flat. Some folks genuinely desire a compact car that doesn't take up unnecessary space in their lives, is easy to park, and has a bit of performance under the hood.

i want to have this oneday !

YES & LOVE ! Mini !

I am wondering if the rear passengers space for people that around 5"3~5"5 is enough?

I had to check the date this vid was made, what was going on a year ago that would make the Union Jack offensive..Brexit?

Long term review : 2018 Mini Copper Countryman All 4 S Problems prior to 60,000 miles: Door Latches: All four door latches failed (at various intervals) requiring the doors to be tied down to the headrest until repaired. The passenger door latched failed twice. Service manager was unable to offer an explanation as to the cause. Research mini and BMW door latch failures. Battery Replacement: No indication/warning light given that the battery was getting low… It just stopped functioning. Replacing the battery requires removing support bars and engine compartment panels. Somewhat time consuming compared to most cars. Engine Coolant: almost all of the engine coolant evaporated causing the car to overheat. No warning light that coolant was low. Car had been serviced by Mini of Bedford two weeks prior and had been consistently serviced by the dealership. Decals: Decals around the headlights bubbled and needed to be replaced. Tires: Run flat fair weather tires needed to be replaced to allow for inclement/snow conditions. Service/Technicians: There are very few shops that work on Mini Coopers and most are as expensive as the dealer. Overall: The Mini Copper is not a reliable vehicle and owning one in North America is costly unless you have the time to perform the repairs yourself.
