Great post Jason, thanks. I have been wondering if I made the right decision to go for the X1 and not rather have waited to have a look at the Countryman first. I already have a Cooper and think its one of the nicest wee cars I have ever owned. However looking at the comparison I am now convinced that the X1 is the right choice. I think that the Mini is great, its just that its that little bit too small for what I want.
