Does anyone drive a Mini Countryman?

I'm thinking about getting a Mini Countryman but not sure how it is in terms of fuel economy and space? I have 3 teens who are still growing... I tried the car out and it seems roomy enough but wondered how others have found it? Thanks!

I don’t agree, it’s a ballpark and very useful for me when i am buying a car.

In what way is it useful? Without some other info it’s completely meaningless.

Love mine, it's now about 10 years old (4wd) and going strong with no issues. Great size, good on country lanes in winter, fuel is ok, good views and height for a car and of course, it's design is good. Feels well made to me. I'd be tempted to get another to be honest.

But why is it useful? Am I missing something here?

Say a tank costs £60 to fill. Then you are considering buying this car or another car with a larger tank that costs £90 to fill. Have you ever considered that you can refuel the larger tank with only £60 of fuel rather than to the top?

Surely the more important factors are mpg and prevailing fuel prices.

Exactly my point. It’s fine where the range is provided as well but the cost on its own is irrelevant. I swear some people think the cost to fill the tank is directly proportional to the running cost 🤣
