Hi All,

This would be my first own car(previously i had 7 years of car driving experience (My Dad's)back in india ).

I am a fan of mini so i decided to go with it...Even though a lot of friends warned me against the idea of it being the first car.

I have decided to stick with the S Model's and 4 door(As we are planning on kids soon)

So that left me with 2 choices Hardtop 4 door and Countryman

i have driven the Hardtop 4 door s 2016 and after that i cannot stop dreaming about it . it was such a fun.
So the showroom guy told me that country man engine is not as good as hardtop and recommended against it. but i like the space in it.
but at the same time i like the number of interior customization possible on the Hardtop .and i did not get a chance to drive the countryman 2016

Can some one help me in this decision making. i looking forward to complete purchase by this month end

The F55 is a nice change from the 2 door F56 as it gives you more space. I'd recommend driving the Countryman to see if it will sway you to purchase one of the other. People will always give you their opinion, but it's just that, their opinion. It's always good to get behind the wheel of one yourself before you commit to buy one. That way you know the feeling yourself of how they drive. Check out this great buyers guide HERE as well for some additional buying info. Good luck.
