UNLEASH THE STREAMERS, break out the balloons, strike up the band… my Mini Countryman Electric wants to get the party started. In fact, like an overly enthusiastic redcoat at a holiday camp, it demands you have fun. Hi-de-hi indeed.
It’s appropriate, though, because fun has been the name of the Mini’s game since the model’s birth back in 1959. Marc Bolan, Kate Moss, Twiggy and countless other Mini-owning celebrities would never have chosen Issigonis’s baby if it had been dour and miserable.
True, being the family SUV of the modern Mini range, the Countryman doesn’t seem as naturally suited to driver entertainment as the lower, lighter Cooper hatchback, but it does just as much…
