Hi,

First post so hello!

I didn't know they redesigned the Countryman until today when I stopped at the mini dealer to ask why I couldn't find any on their lot.

Which would you choose?

2016 All wheel drive S or a 2017 All wheel drive not an S?

And does manual help with it not being an S?

We can't find a 2017 S and our budget is under 31K which makes building our own difficult plus the wait time is long thus the two options.

Thank you!

 

We bought a 2016 AWD S with 4,000 miles because someone flipped out of their lease after a few months because they discovered the new Countryman. Worked out for us!

 

Looks like you made a good choice. Congratulations and have fun! Hope it serves you well for many years to come.

Post up some pictures when you can.
