As a huge Mini fan I can't believe it has taken me this long to get a Countryman on the channel, but I figured the new 2021 Clubman JCW was a good place to start. Powered by the same 306hp 2.0L turbo charged four cylinder engine that is in my Clubman JCW it certainly has the performance. The big question is can something so big really be considered a Mini and does it drive like a Mini.

After working at MINI, I’ve come to understand that MINI is a lifestyle brand, I believe that if (Mini) had continued anyway this is how it would’ve, or should I say should’ve ended up… You are buying a mini because you love the experience, the interior, the lock and being part of something different… I think that if you have a little mini when you were growing up in the first getting into driving, why shouldn’t you have the Clubman, or the countrymen if you want to keep those familiar feelings around you

I ordered my 2020 F60 JCW to spec from the factory. I love my panoramic roof, JCW sport seats, analog dials, and head up display. All were very worth it. My car had just started production when the Born plant was shutdown by BMW MINI for COVID. It was delayed a month or two, and I had the option to cancel and get the 2021 with a similar spec. That would've given me the Union flag tail lights, and the digital gauges, plus the ugly rear bumper valance you pointed out. I chose to stick with the analog dials and aero diffuser styled rear valance. I'm glad I did. All in all, this is NOT an original MINI. However, this is hands down my favorite car ever, and it is the best road trip car I've ever driven. Huge smiles per mile return on investment.

Hi Pete. On the whole Mini 'size' thing.......earlier this week, we were in lane 2 of a dual carriageway behind a 'BMW Mini', who was overtaking an immaculate, original classic Mini in lane 1 and (I hate this acronym) OMG, you forget how tiny the original Mini is! When we got alongside in our Q3, the Minis' roofline just about reached our window line! What a lovely little car and, refreshingly, it was being driven by a young bloke....kudos!

I drove the hybrid Countryman for a while and I love it because the battery made the center of gravity drop. It really felt like you said, a grown up Mini. I loved that I have a great view while the car is still rather compact and fun to drive. The JCW sounds like the sweet spot to me, although I really miss the crackles. Oh and apparently the Clubman is quiet a bit faster due to aerodynamics and about 50kg less weight.

Almost everything I expected. I drive a manual 2015 f56, and I’ve always been a bit unsure of the new automatics. Mainly because I’ve never driven them, so for me be it’s interesting when putting down the power and how it feels. Totally agree with the panoramic sunroof, defo would choose that option. Also having never driven an old school mini, for me this new bmw versions of minis, in my opinion are a decent bunch of cars. Defo smiles for miles as opposed to race winning. 4 years of ownership and still makes me smile 😊. Great review pp. cheers for that, relevant to me so enjoyed that one. Being constructive with feedback, the outro music sometimes drowns out your verbal outro. Apart from that, new camera setup and sound is good. 👍

Just discovered this channel and thank goodness I have! My I-Pace goes back in November and I have been considering its replacement which is out of 3 cars - Mustang Mach-E, Wrangler or the Countryman JCW, and not only have you done tests on each one over the past few weeks, but in your tests you have answered nearly all of my questions (with one exception - the depreciation, which I consider is very important in deciding which car to buy).

Great to hear Charlie. Depreciation is such a tricky thing to discuss I tend not to. Personally I’d always buy a used ex demonstrator. You don’t get to spec the car but you get a good deal. Paid £30k for my Clubman JCW. 4 months old with 4K miles and a lost price of £40k 🤷‍♂️😜

@@PetrolPed I think we both come from the same pod (not to mention the same area - I use to live in sunny Felpham, which is just along the A259 from Chi) - before I leased the I-Pace, I purchased my cars and would also 'hunt' for ex demos and nearly new from private sellers (before the I-Pace, had a fantastic Golf R which I purchased 6 months old from a Doctor in London for £30k (2.5k miles on clock and new price of £37k)). So I have between now and November to search for a newly new 'bargain' - unless I go for the Mach-E, but that will be leased through the company. And thanks for making known why you will not include depreciation in your reviews - what something may be worth in 3 years time is no more than guesswork...who knows what will happen over those 3 years. Cheers.

I *think* what makes the countryman make sense as a "mini", is when its the all4. It is such a direct, point and shoot, grippy thing. We had a Cooper SD all4 and loved it (we regret selling it). Apart from being that bit higher up, everything else has that direct feel. Not sure about these bigger, newest incarnations, but by the looks they've not lost that essence either.

I had a Mini Paceman JCW the two door version of the Countryman. Once I got used to the slighter taller stance it has, I was able to throw it into corners exactly the same way I did with the two door hatch. The drive was actually better than the hatch because it wasn’t so bumpy on roads, unlike my current two year old JCW hatch, which has a very stiff suspension from factory. The Countryman exhaust won’t be popping and banging because it is a new car you’re driving and has not been properly run in yet.... trust me it will pop and bang once run in. But I have to agree the new digital Rev counter display is not good and I definitely prefer the analog display set up. So much so I am thinking of not bothering to buy the new JCW hatch that has just come into production, plus the new front grill and splitter looks terrible... Once again Pedro a good video to watch, but odd that you work for Vintage Voltage which converts cars to electric.......but you don’t have an electric mini......could it be because there is no exhaust note what so ever, so no loud pops and bangs sound track to listen to.....😱😱😱😱

I was worried that it being bigger then my R60 would be a bad thing and it wouldnt feel as fun but i was wrong! MINI definitely is more lifestyle focused than utilitarian. Its not just a family A to B car, thats what the CRV is for. You just know anyone whose in a MINI CHOSE to be in a MINI and i love that!

Thank you for the video. We're collecting our Countryman Cooper S 2022 next week with analog dials, sunroof and a few other options. Trading in our 2018 Cooper. I'm disappointed about the lack of pops and bangs, partly the reason to move up to an S. But not disappointed any more about getting digital dials. The off center position would be very annoying, the sort of thing that once you see it, you cant unsee it!!

Had a Cooper S for a year now. Really enjoyable car. It’s fairly big but the flexibility as a family car is why we chose it as we wanted a Mini and the 3 door versions were never going to work for us. It’s not fast but quite a refined car with a little bit of pace. I’d probably get another when we sell this one. It’s alternative was a Golf GTI and I’d like to compare one now.

The JCW Countryman certainly drives nothing like a bus regardless what some might say about its appearance. My 2020 JCW will outdrive most of the smaller MINIs I've met on my local MINI club's rally runs. Drive one for yourself, and you will laugh hysterically at those who would denounce the JCW Countryman as anything but a MINI. The real joke is on them.

Great review - in car audio quality definitely an improvement - you seem to attracting more adverts... price of success? Electronic dash - manufacturers are shifting to an EV future so I guess stuff like showing which gear you are in is probably seen as a short term requirement at best - hopefully the JCW’s will hang on in there longer because the have driver appeal, but probably only the PHEV version will see it close to still being current for 2030 with some sort ICE... so a back-to-back between that and the JCW might be interesting... if a complete heresy 😉

Two years ago I purchased a 2015 Countryman S All4. I was looking for a car that was fun to drive and 3 minutes into the test drive that box was checked.....plus....it had 4 doors that made it easy for my two grandsons to slide in and out. The area behind the hatch accommodated all the groceries, duffel bags, and what-evers and if any more room was needed the rear seats folded down. When the weather gets dicey I have peace of mind knowing 4 wheels are gripping the road. The Countryman is an extremely practical car that goes and handles and puts a grin on my face whenever I drive and look at it.

I was one of the naysayers back when the r50 was announced, until I saw one and couldn't stop smiling at it. I think the classic being so static made it harder for people to swallow.

Happily I have one coming in a few weeks. Agree with much about what you’ve said. One little point. The bike carrier prep is only useful if you them buy the overpriced mini bike carrier. Doesn’t fit other carriers according to my dealer. On the other hand it has the roof rails which is very useful.

Hi Ped Money well spent on new camera kit.👏👏 Very informative presentation as usual, looking forward to the back to back. I note we have a common view on modern dash layout and usability. Designers are getting carried away, I want clear display, I do not want distractions whilst I am driving, why do they not listen to the end user. Rant over large glass of red rebuffed.🍷🍷

I like that Mini has bigger options for growing families but still want a fun ride compared to the rest of the segment. I do wish there was a bare bones cheaper hatchback option to get more people in these cars. All that said I love my F54 JCW as it is the closest to a wagon one can find in Canada.

I would love you to review my old Mercedes ml 350. 2004 3.7 petrol v6 Pete. It makes me smile when you talk apple car play , digital heads up display ect ect. Mines got sat nav. Lol which is by cd Rom. Think it only got London addresses in it. Radio fm.mw It does have phone charger if you put an adapter into what was called in days gone by the cigarette lighter. Sport mode is when I put foot hard down. Comfort mode is tickling the accelerator pedal. It has leather, heated seats, ands a dream to plod around in and with the back seats down your bike will go in without taking the wheels off and stands up straight It’s got 131 k miles sweet as a nut and I paid £1500 , not let me down , what is it with people that need to have the newest of the new. Love my old plodder. 👍. Great vid as always. 👍

Hi Pete, another great review. In the US there are very few JCW Clubman or Countryman, more often they are S or Justa. We happen to have a '17 S Clubman and while it is a great car, i suspect that a JCW is an amazing car but very few of us would ever get to experience it. Perhaps you can do a S review? Thanks

Pops and bangs are a deal-breaker for this viewer. I had a Golf R once, and one of the contributors to why I got rid of it, was the "look at me!" grunting out the rear.

Never seen the attraction for induced pops and bangs as it always sounds like there is something wrong with the engine because it's misfiring.

It usually adds to the character but since sound is losing its emotions year after year due to regulations, the crackles aren't that great anymore. The Golf crackles are really predictable which makes them very synthetic sounding to me at least.

As the owner of a supercharged R53, I needed to find a replacement for my wife’s Corsa which she has had from new. Looked around and ended up surprising her with a MINI Cooper S Boardwalk. Not as fast as the JCW but my goodness it really does go, well for her anyway. It’s got everything except a pano and electric seats. My main gripe is that the system doesn’t display your driving history data so no Average fuel consumption, miles travelled etc etc. Otherwise a really great car and we are a two MINI household with a few other toys kept elsewhere. The video and audio are much better thanks.

My 2019 Countryman S pops all over the place even just letting off the throttle, and if you hit a sporty downshift going around a corner it lets out a nice little growl on top. I think they must have tuned it out in later models because I drove a 2022 that didn’t do it. TBH I think the Clubman is probably more to my liking in terms of driving dynamics, mostly because it’s lower and you sit lower in it. But the practicality of the Countryman (I have 2 kids and 2 dogs) won out during my buying process.

Hi Petrol Ped, having ordered and spec'd belt line de-chrome on my order, my Mini dealership have confirmed with many phone calls including to head office it is not an option, crazy but true. So it's either a DIY job or professionaly done. Also Harmon Harmon speaker option is currently not available across the both BMW and Mini range, apparently due to a fire and general CHIP shortages across the world. We're Doomed!!!! PS Love your Countryman video.
