New JCW Clountryman

[alltalk]

Just collected .. First impression.

Compared to 2014 Cooper s very refined
Feels more like a smooth SUV
Not really a hot hatch
Doesn’t feel quick until you see how quick you’re going sounds quiet
Sport stiffens everything up
Auto get gears right
Interior a real step up
Quite big actually
Ride is great helped by now standard adaptive suspension on non run flat 18s
HK sounds good
Sunroof rattles like old one fixed by just moving screen an inch
Spec was leather which makes feel more luxury
Dig dash is good

Pretty pleased so far.

Congrats. We took delivery of my wife’s New Countryman Classic a month ago and I’m very impressed with the interior quality. Don’t even have a rattle from the sunroof blind !

The F series cars are a big step up over the R series cars in terms of refinement but they lose some of the Mininess
