    “they’ve made it bigger but is it anymore practical” now park it next to a multistorey with a narrow up ramp Vs the old one

    That fixed forward facing headrest on the front seats is such a stupid design.

      Agreed. Even if it’s just touching the back of your head, it will eventually drive you crazy..

      @@wendyhopkins2902 And that pretty much says it all. The choices among £35 to £40k EV’s out there are now comprehensive. I wouldn’t even contemplate spending £35K plus on a Mini, with the choices there are out there now.

    Another case of style over substance maybe?

      They should have called it the MAXI.
      Well then again, maybe not!

    Mini’s now need global appeal and therefore it may lose uk sales. Last generation looked so much nicer

    The seating in a BMW X1 is better, as is the fit & finish. I would rather haggle a good X1 deal than pay the full rrp on the Countryman.

    I would remind you that the ORIGINAL Austin 7 Mini had the instrument panel on a single central circular dial.

    It’s a nice vehicle but I don’t like that all the drives information is in that center screen, I prefer the one before.

    Had my BEV Countryman S E Sport L 3 since April 9 and the only faults I can find are the front seat head restraints force your head forward and that is uncomfortable and there are still a lot of bugs in the electronics in the dash – mine refuses point blank to give me satnav voice instructions in English, German, French, Spanish or Italian it just tells me that it doesn’t recognise those languages even though they (and a whole lot more languages are available) in the settings. Even when the setting is set to English I get a message on the screen telling me that English is not available for satnav instructions!
    Not that it bothers me as 99% of my charging is at home but I also haven’t been able to get it to connect to the Plug and Charge system so,used my Electroverse card instead and got a discount on Octopus.
    Drove mine to Harrogate and back last weekend and it’s a hoot to drive on the motorway and is very comfortable and quiet at speed. it’s not too thirsty at motorway speed having averaged 3.4m/kWh overall – charging on Ionity and EVPoint chargers was no problem at max 150kW but it’s a pity that the charging curve starts to taper off that at 35-37% SOC in this day and age. 40% to 80% on a 350kW Ionity at Carlisle took 20 minutes and 22 minutes on a 150kW charger at Starbucks in Harrogate to do similar. The augmented reality display is brilliant but spoken satnav routing instructions are more useful as you don’t have to take your eyes off the road to see where to turn. The ride is great on the 19” wheels on mine – I’m used to driving air sprung Range Rovers and New Defenders and it’s as comfortable as those even on rough road surfaces.
    Might have been more appropriate of BMW Mini to have resurrected the old Maxi name for it though – it’s 10cms longer than my 2023 Defender 90, it cannot go quite as far off the tar as the Defender too even though mine has a “trails” mode setting in the experiences – best to limit your off road ventures to a forest drive I have found.

    This is such a step back, in every way. It looks very cheap, very Suzuki like.
