2018 Mini Cooper S Countryman review

From cheap, space-efficient transport that changed the face of motoring in the UK in the 1960s, to unlikely fashion icon over the intervening decades, the Mini has evolved into something very different compared to its humble beginnings. The Mini Countryman, while still a compact SUV, is entirely aspirational. You’re likely to buy one based on its aesthetics and appreciation of individuality, not because of its rock-hopping capability or carrying capacity.
