We get excited when a JCW countryman comes through . All points made in the first comment stand true , the clutches on these aren ' t the greatest . Running costs will be high since they gave zero thought to the environment with this . ALL 4 and 220 hp will mean low mpg but loads of fun . Theyre fast and practical , loud and flashy , and just silly cars . All JCW MINIs are . Don ' t worry about a sports exhaust , the bore on these are massive , but if you feel confident with an ecu tune , these engines are good for a bit more with the right components and careThe price if in Euros seems a little high , we have a late 2015 with all the options coming in at about 2425 k , so you could probably haggle a little from it . Also , just drive one . Make sure you are 100 % happy that you are buying the right car
