In this review of the Mini Countryman by Savagegeese, we delve into the world of quirky SUVs with a touch of British flair. Starting at a modest $38,000, the Countryman S offers all-wheel drive but quickly climbs to the mid-40s with added packages. Enter the John Cooper Works variant, the big boy with a price tag over $52,000, boasting more power and unique features. However, despite its customizable exterior and interior, the Countryman falls short in practicality, with issues ranging from a reflective HUD to a laggy infotainment system.

The Mini Countryman JCW, a larger SUV sharing similarities with BMW X1/X2, promises optimized engine components and enhanced braking. During the test drive, the team praises the car's power and all-wheel-drive performance but criticizes its narrow power band and abrupt stop-start system. Despite lacking adaptive dampers, the Mini Countryman JCW impresses with its engine and handling, offering a unique driving experience for those seeking a distinctive SUV. With its distinctive character and customization options, the Mini Countryman JCW may appeal to enthusiasts looking for a touch of personality in their SUV experience.
