Mini Countryman - Introduction

MINI Countryman Review: The Adventurous

 Little did Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis know that his creation of a small cost and fuel efficient car in the shortest possible duration on a mere napkin would attain such cult status.

The MINI, which started as a concept was more focused on the utility and practicality of a small car packing in the most space possible with the handling of a Go-Kart. Interesting as it sounds as a cost effective budget car need not be a track performer at all but then thanks to a certain John Cooper, the famous race car builder , who was  part of this project since its inception.

The Cooper series have evolved a long way from the time it was first introduced. They aren’t any MINIer but then have got a lot meaner and aggressive in design instead without losing on the core essence and value MINIs are known for.

Launched in India recently, it has caught the attention of many. When we were given an option to choose from, I anxiously chose the MINI Countryman over the other petite variants to get a big bite of the premium so called SUV, is it really an “Adventurous” way of spending a premium amount?
