2016 MINI COOPER S COUNTRYMAN ALL4 - THE MINIAC

- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- This is a first for The Miniac. This is a 2016 Mini Cooper S Countryman All4. My first time reviewing an R60 Countryman. It's definitely an interesting vehicle and it's interesting reviewing a car that you remember driving when it was new.

Your channel is half the reason I bought a 2016 Mini cooper S
Thank you for all the information through out your videos.
How do you like? Are they really not reliable?
I don't understand why there's so much hating on this model. I bought a 2016 R60 S a year ago (my second MINI, the first was a 2006 R50 that I bought new in 2007 and I traded in for the R60) and I LOVE it! I have four gripes about the car that seem common, but they're nothing I can't live with. I bought the R60 because my original MINI had reached the point it was nickle-and-diming me to death, and being thirteen years older than I was when I got the R50, I was looking for a car that was a bit easier to get into and out of. This Countryman fits the bill, while retaining all the fun of my original R50 (minus the manual transmission, xenon headlights, and the HK sound system).
@@TheMINIac In general. Other UA-camrs were much more...pointed...in their opinon of the car.
Purchased a 2012 Countryman JCW (All4) fully spec'd with automatic transmission and 19" JCW alloy rims w/new tires...for CHF13,900 (about USD15k), incl a set of 18" alloy/winter tires and a 1 year warranty. The car had a solid maintenance record and only 105KM on the odometer. As the oil was changed frequently, it does not burn any oil! Excellent car that I have enjoyed over the last 8 months.
@@TheMINIac So far so good. Did change out one wheel bearing. The rest...just basic maintenance...oil.filter changes. Basic stuff. The car came with its 3 year CH inspection as a prerequisite of the purchase...these inspections are serious and I didn't want to get hit with any surprises. With no accident record/evidence, it really seems they mistakenly priced this one as a Countryman S and not a JCW All 4. In this country, I often see these cars going for at least $6K over my purchase price.I will do a transmission drain/refill (NOT a flush) and filter kit change on this car before year end...just for safe measure. The OEM specs claim lifetime fluid...but this is not optimal practice...best to replace the fluid/filter with the recommended spec at least every 80K miles (120k KM)....and check the used fluid for any excessive transmission wear.
My favourite mini is the new clubman in starlight blue 💯
My wife prefers this gen of the Countryman we sold her 2015 last year but found it's replacement - a very low mile 2013 - both All4s both in "lite coffee" - you either love or hate that color. I'll on the lookout for a Roadster either S or JCW without a light interior....
I have Navigation in my 2016 R60 countryman. Must have been an add on at the time of purchase.
@@TheMINIac Maybe you can help me on this, I want to install a back up camera on my 2016 Countryman all4S, (R60), any recommendations? By the way, nice review. I love my Mini!
@@TheMINIac Thanks! Not techy and the one I saw was from Tadi Brothers for about 600.00 They claim they'll supply a list of local installers once I purchase which left me a little shy although I can get a refund if the installers are not close by. Are you familiar with them? www.tadibrothers.com/products/mini-backup-camera-system
I'm facing the same problem, I just brought the car this week and it doesn't have a back camera.
The R60 never did. And it wasn’t a required feature on cars until 2017 which meant we didn’t see it until 2018 on most cars.
It has navigation. You have to go thru menu. I have 2016 model as well.
Nice car and nice review. Its specs are 140kW , 187hp, 190ps as i know. Try to test it on snow or mud if it's possible.
My favorite video you've done so far, because I have a 15 s fwd!
Good! That is about time to have touch screen with any screen size combination! I am not fan of that nav control by the armrest. My MINI has a retro style radio with thin rectangular screen with 2 knobs to control functions and it is much easier for me to use then that nan control
i won’t lie ma Bru i love this one R60 all4 in manual transmission ..the newer ones i just dnt like the shape .its like too long and squere for a mini
Greatly done video.well done
So the “All4” means all wheel drive ?
Correct.
Thank you for uploading! I noticed two shades of British Racing Green Mini Countryman in the background of your video (or was it Enigmatic Black?) I much prefer the darker shade. Is this only available on the Cooper S and JCW Countryman models?
My R60 2013 cooper S has navigation! Sadly it doesn't have folding/retractable door mirrors.
They're electrically adjustable but no folding option on early 2013 build. Some of the later models I.e. Sept 2013 get this option. I'd love to get them done and add the comfort access. Check out this link for F60 type touch screen for R60 done in Malaysia. (Sadly not exportable). ua-cam.com/video/JZr4Un7jdeI/v-deo.html
I just bought a 2016 Mini Cooper countryman s all4. It’s beautiful. Buuuut my dad and my brother both said I made a bad decision because the engines on these minis do not last very long. They said even with good upkeep and regular maintenance, the mini can start giving me trouble at 75k miles. After doing much research, I’m sad to say, I think they’re right. I’m seriously considering returning it to the dealer. But is there any hope?
Do you still have your MINI? How has the experience been?
@@BigQ07we have 96 thousand miles on our 2016, its had the thermostat fail and the friction pulley which gets replaced here soon.
Honestly im an old big three guy, ford chevy dodge. We have not seen or experienced any issues. Its direct injection, they benefit from an oil catch can like anything else. Run liqui moly synthetic, every 3k, and the car should treat you right. Was very skeptical at first but now im a mini fan.
I personally don’t like the new countryman’s I feel in love with the r60 when my mother got one and when I’m done with my 2014 r60 idk how I’m going to feel about the newer countryman’s the headlight looks on the front just don’t great to me \:
@@TheMINIac u mean like they are trying to fit in with other cars to much now?
@@TheMINIac dang I really hope it has more round headlights and stuff again I love the r60 compared to f60
anyone able to help me locate the engine code for a 2016 mini cooper s countryman? i have looked on the door tag and around the engine and everywhere and only see the vin but no engine code. even found the pain code but no engine code anywhere. just bought the car used so i dont know if the tag was removed or what.
@@TheMINIac I'm trying to get a aftermarket air filter and its a 1.6l engine but it asks for 3 different engine codes and I have one of the 3 but I don't know Wich one and can't find the code anywhere. Thought it would be the last 7 of the VIN but it's not.
@@TheMINIac I need to find if I have the N18B16A,N18B16C, or the N18B16M0 I can't find any of those anywhere so I can't find Wich one I have. Might have to call the bmw dealership and ask them where it would be found.
@@TheMINIac thank you for your help and I appreciate the help
My 2013 countryman has navigation
For the price of 19,800 it’s not a good value. A JCW Countryman R60 for 19,800 would be an excellent idea
but why a fucking automatic?
I think its not worth it anymore to buy this gen of minis. Its really outdated already.
