I had a Mini Countryman Cooper D, it was a pile of crap, had it five months in all and the dealer had it more than me. We chose the A1 due to delivery time as my local dealer had one in stock.
I can't believe how well built they are compared to a Mini.
Better customer service as well.
Never by a Mini or a BMW they are awful.

I had three minis first one had water ingress and then heavy condensation which used to freeze on the inside, the second one had rattles from the dash, then the Countryman had rust, stereo squeal, door rattle knock, interior rattle, two interior mirrors, rear washer that came on with the fronts and the interior map lights came on, on their own!

Great quality not!
