Hi all: Possibly buying a Countryman

[Poldenais]

Hi All,
Hope you dont mind me posting this on here.

My wife and I recently have thought about changing from our 4wd jeep. We seen a local dealer up here in Donegal selling a 2011 Mini Countryman One and we took it for a spin and think its really cool. The car checks out and is legit. We have 2 small children 6 years of age & 4 years of age. Just looking for opinions from anyone on here on how practical they are for a family car. Ive read loads of opinions but alot are US based online. Just wondering what Irish drivers think especially on our irish roads.


Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the forum.

Well they are the biggest MINI so have the most roominside and also a very decent boot.
I'd say it would suit you well.

Hi Paul,

I've had my Countryman 3 and a half years, and given that the longest I've ever owned a car before this was 3 years may explain something! Plus, I have no plans of changing the Countryman yet, I'm enjoying the journey too much!

This is the most practical car I've ever owned. The boot is a good size, roughly equivalent to a Golf. Plus the rear bench is moveable, so you can increase/decrease legroom/boot space as needed.
