Any Mini Cooper Countryman owners?

As my car is 12 years old, we're exploring different cars for when the time comes to get a new one. My dream car is a Mini Cooper, but it really is too small. Anyone own a mini Countryman? Do you like it? Mileage okay? Enough space for 4 comfortably? Any cons with owning one?

I own a Mini and yeah, it's small, which I like. But I think the Countryman is a cute thing. nolabear Jan 2013 #3

I wonder if it handles as well as the Mini Cooper because it's surprisingly bigger. But I like the rear doors. Keep me posted. You'll LOVE having a Mini. I bought mine two years ago in January and about April pulled up to the gas pump and didn't know what side the fuel door was on, because I'd only filled it three times. Now I just do city driving so the mileage is pretty low but we drove from Portland to Seattle and then I drove it for three more weeks before filling it.
