No, Driven isn’t back yet… but we’re trying out our first online video review. Remember the hijack video that was on this site sometime back? Harvinder has a little fun both on and off the road with the MINI Cooper S Countryman. Look after the jump for a full hi-res photo gallery. Or you can read our text test drive review by Danny Tan.
Verdict
MINI Cooper S Countryman
The MINI Cooper S Countryman offers a roomy and flexible interior with ample power and impressive off-road capabilities, making it a practical and fun "grown-up Mini," though it comes with a steep price and some high-speed handling compromises.

Enjoyed watching that review! Great car, shame about the price!
Nice review.
This car is a cracker to drive on trunk roads and muddy fields.
On highways I would say it lacks a certain refinement but they say its a trait of a mini.
I really like this car except for the price tag.
shame about the price??! only happen in Bolehland
Harv, paul give you a lot of tension at work?
he speaks like the roti canai maker near my workplace… find some1 better pls.. after a long day a work.. i dozed off after watching this vid..
your roticanai maker can speak so well? must be a high class place where you work.
mine normally just nods his head and ask “kari apa?” and “minum?” when I order.
you should be the host then, u speak so good england
Why are you so racist?
he speak with his hand too, dangerous on the road
Great review just like Top Gear. Paul please do comparison review such as Mini Cooper S vs VW Golf GTI or Trio review Fiesta vs Swift vs Mazda 2.
Perhaps Paul will soon move the automobile reviews in both written and videos, and then after that to local TV channels and then soon regional, and then gloabl :D
A good first attempt! Would definitely be watching this spot for future video’s from Paultan.org. Pretty sure this could only get better as time passes. Good luck guys!
I saw this one beside me when i was driving last couple of weeks. It huge and damn nice looking but yeaah the price is damn high too :(
My only question is where did Harvinder purchased his watchband??
this is Lunatik’s wristband for iPod…
honestly…i stil cant get around the rm288k price tag….how????
HD please!!! 720p pun ok dah :D
Fuh fuh, nice first review… I think this concept is great, posting online reviews on youtube :)
good job! hope more video review of cars available for sale in malaysia!
Good on u Harvinder!
Looking forward to more local test drives
and unbiased reviews. Not only high end
but the “we see it everyday” models too.
:)
Great attempt! salute! :)
I think moving the hood scoop to above the bumper? was a bad idea. It looks better with a hood scoop on the hood.
omg 288k for a mini brand? they think its part of bmw so can charge higher. what a joke. well the bottomline really tells a lot. hardly see any 1 on the road goes to show that no one is buying for that price.Sold $22k in USA what a big difference. You car sellers really got to do something for people to buy.
