I think I'm going to make myself drive both just to be sure, but I'm already 98% sure I'll be ordering myself an X1 next week.
The countryman drives horrible, it reminded me of the Nissan Qashqai we had. Terrible understeer, terrible bodyroll in corners, terrible drivingposition, rear seats are not as spacious as the X1 and the boot is small. Can't match the normal Mini.
