2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S. Amazing car to drive and time to have some fun together! Dull is something Mini tries to avoid, so in Cooper S specification, the Countryman backs its styling up with a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 141kW at 6000rpm and 280Nm from 1350 to 4600rpm. Perhaps not enough to set the world alight, but good for a giggle all the same. Delivery is via an eight-speed torque converter automatic to the front wheels only. An auto might not be the ideal enthusiast’s choice, but with a pointy front end, there’s still some old-fashioned Mini spirit apparent.
