The MINI Cooper S Countryman is an interesting alternative to Europe’s traditional hatchbacks. The Cooper S Countryman offers satisfying performance and is quite engaging to drive quickly.

The Countryman is still immediately identifiable as a MINI, with its flat roof, friendly face, and extroverted paint job. There is nothing else like it on the road. And it corners like a motorized skateboard the way the original MINI did.

There’s only one big reason to get a MINI Cooper over the larger, more powerful, better outfitted, and/or less expensive alternatives, and that’s style. Love the look? Then there’s no substitute.

Thanks to British character and German engineering, the 2012 Mini Cooper is a great pick for a small coupe or convertible.

Improving on its strengths, MINI has made the 2011 Cooper S an even more attractive package, with technology that’s sure to please urbanite Mac geeks, more fuel economy to appease your inner Al Gore and an excessive amount of metrosexual style.

The car enthusiast will already know all about the better-equipped, roomier, more comfortable-riding, or faster-in-a-straight-line vehicles available today. The driving enthusiast, on the other hand, would take the Cooper’s courageous dynamic abilities.

The 2011 Mini Cooper retains all the charm and panache buyers have come to expect since the brand’s rebirth. And the added improvements just sweeten the deal. There aren’t any cars currently available in the States that can match the size, fun and refinement it offers.

The Mini Cooper delivers agile handling, crisp performance and an interminably cute bulldog appearance in a tidy, efficient, front-wheel drive package, with plenty of space and comfort for front seat passengers.

Minis may look like economy cars, but these diminutive hatchbacks are actually sporty driving machines. They brim with character and are available with a dizzying array of personalizing accessories.

I like the MINI Roadster’s cheeky personality, I like the fact that I can spec one out that’s totally different from any other car, and I love the way it goes ’round corners — enough, perhaps, to put up with the punishing ride.
