I truly spent far less time considering my last house purchase than this car and all it's options.

Joyful pain.

Why decide? Do like we did, get one of each!

Wow, the Countryman looks so much smaller in that picture! (Perspective!)

Nice pair of MINIs.

IMO I say cooper unless you really need the extra passenger and cargo space

And the answer is....

....Cooper S!

Just can't pass up that fun.

Now, if MINI would just let me order my 2012 I could start my countdown.

Yeah, it's kind of an odd pic. I took it from up on a porch, so the perspective skews it a bit I guess.
Personally if I could only have one it would be the Cooper S, but if you asked my husband he'd say Countryman.

I went to the dealership with the express purpose of driving a Countryman S all4 and ended up ordering (still waiting) a Clubman S. To me, and for my needs, it is the perfect compromise. Bottom line, the only way to know is to drive both and see which one makes you smile the most.
