The MINI Countryman is the largest car the MINI brand has ever produced. The Countryman takes on rivals like the Audi Q2 and the Mercedes GLA, bringing funky styling, a huge range of customisation options and a sporty chassis to the compact SUV class. But how does it compare to the best in the segment? Is it practical to live with every day? And does the extra size mean that it no longer feels like a MINI? Find out what I think in my full, in-depth review of the Countryman Cooper S.

Currently on the market for a family saloon/SUV after years of whizzing round in Coopers and Cooper S. This is on my shortlist but I think this car reflects my life. I used to be cool, fast, hot but now I've a kid, I'm bigger and not near as cool. Might just be the right car for me.

Why do people think mini are only aloud to sell a 3 door car too small for 90% of people...sales figures show what people want whether its a 4series gt over a 3 series, a gla over a a-class its what people want thats why they sell it. Regardless of love/hate of the last countryman unlike the coupe or paceman it did well enough to sell it again

People who complain about such things are car people, which values cars a little more than a fridge or a dishwasher. They are emotionally invested. And most people just care about reliability, style, comfort and fuel economy which is fine.

Is it this? The new 2018 Jeep compass/renegade trailhawk, vw troc, volvo c40 or even the new c4 aircross which do you think?
