Carsguide Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis had this to say at the time: If it wears a Mini badge, you have a right to expect cheeky brio and unbridled exuberance. In the Countryman, the Cooper S can supply all that and more.

What is the towing capacity of a 2018 Mini Countryman?
Towing capacities for hybrid vehicles has been a bit of an issue for Australian car buyers for a while now and remains one of the biggest hurdles to ownership of this type of technology. There’s also a fair bit of misinformation around, too, including the fact that hybrids can’t tow at all. That’s simply not true for some manufacturers, but in this case, it’s a fact.
While Mini specifies a 1500kg towing limited (with a braked trailer) for its Countryman range, there are exceptions. In fact, Mini does not specify a towing limit for two variants of the Countryman; the sporty John Cooper Works version and, sadly, the plug-in hybrid variant. In fact, there’s not even a factory-option tow-bar listed for those variants, which is another way of saying they’re not designed for towing at all. You may need to look elsewhere.

2014 Mini Countryman reliability
You’re looking at a relatively new model so the reliability should be fine, and the maintenance costs should be ok if you use a specialist independent mechanic instead of a dealer.

Countryman run flat tyres
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.

Mini Countryman 2021 Accessories
From nearly $72K, you’d expect the JCW Countryman Signature ALL4 to include the kitchen sink.
Happily, Mini obliges. You’ll find Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and braking pre-conditioning, adaptive cruise control with full stop/go tech, adaptive dampers, speed-limit display, traffic-sign recognition tech, a rear camera, auto high beams, light-sensing headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a powered tailgate and front seats, digital instrumentation, wireless charging, wireless Apple CarPlay, digital radio, keyless entry/start, sat-nav, dual-zone climate control, sliding/reclining rear seats, auto parking with front and rear sensors and anthracite headlining.
Wearing the Signature label, there's also greater colour choices, adaptive suspension, "Leather Cross Punch Sports" seats, a head-up display, Harman Kardon HiFi Sound System with 12 speakers and 19-inch alloys on run-flat tyres. So, no spare wheel.
Mini Countryman 2021 Interior
Standing so tall and wide, it’s no shock to learn that the Countryman is for folks who need space, practicality and utility.
To that end, getting in and out is easy, there’s heaps of room up front, sufficient space for adults in the rear, a reasonably large cargo area, deep windows and fairly good vision all-round. The front seats envelope you in a secure and cosy way, ventilation is adequate, storage is thoughtfully provided and – once you learn the multimedia system – operating the vehicle is child’s play. All basics ticked.
The playful (some might say twee) elements of previous BMW-era Minis isn’t as pronounced in the F60, and with the LCI ushering in a 5.5-inch digital cluster, it’s even less cartoonish. Especially with the piano black inserts and anthracite trim. Much more grown up.
But don't fret, purists. The big circular central screen and toggle switches live on, though there’s some slick leather upholstery, brushed metal detailing and a real sense of solidity to up the quality ante.
Some of the graphics in the BMW iDrive-based multimedia system may seem somewhat convoluted, but there is a vast amount of functionality, with plenty of vehicle operations, trip data, map views and audio options to configure and personalise.
The back seat is better than we anticipated for comfort, support and adjustability, since the back 40:20:40 bench splits, folds and slides for added versatility. Beyond that, the 450-litre (VDA) bi-level boot layout makes for a deceptively big cargo area, and it’s all beautifully presented.
Downsides? Those upright windscreen pillars and bulky exterior mirrors do block vision in roundabouts; the sunroof’s blind doesn’t block out enough sun and heat on warm days, never mind hot ones; and while you can turn off the ambient colours at night, their garishness is a bit much and lingers on in the memory.
