MINI Countryman (2023) review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

After ordering the car and it being delivered to the dealership, Mini in its wisdom had changed the car to the new model specification and demanded an extra three grand on top before they would release the car. I told them that I had already paid for the car in full, so they had two options, either refund me in full or honour the original price of the car. Needless to say they soon backed down. Having had the car for 6 months, I have had to take the car in a couple of times as the side indicators keep dropping out. The plastic is so brittle it snaps very easy. For such an expensive car, the build quality is poor. It's one redeeming feature is the DSG automatic gearbox. From simple drive mode it has a sports mode in which the car doesn't half shift. Will I have another Mini? No!
