Mini Countryman 2017
Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The Countryman John Cooper Works was a bit of an oddity in its first generation but with the fundamentally better base of the second generation, it makes more sense. While it's closer to $60,000 than perhaps we might all like, the extra cash does go on considerable upgrades to the engine and chassis. The outlay also goes on a full-fat interior that's lovely to be in and now comfortable for four people and their stuff. Does a mini-SUV need to go this fast? Who cares. It's fun, like a car wearing the Mini badge should be.

The 2017 Mini Countryman carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Countryman run flat tyres
Read more
What he bought is in effect a used car, not a new one, so it might vary from the specifications of a new car. In this case it seems that for some reason the run-flat tyres have been switched for regular tyres. I might speculate that as it was a demo vehicle the salespeople demonstrating it might have wanted a softer ride to impress potential buyers than the ride it would have if it were on the run-flats. But that’s me being cynical. Your son should go back to the dealer personally and talk to them face-to-face about his issue and request that they either replace the damaged tyre and provide him with a spare, or fit run-flat tyres as he believes it would have had. The alternative is to carry a can of pump-up foam in the car, which would get him out of trouble in the case of a puncture.
