The Countryman, esp in JCW guise, is anything but cheap. I can't remember whether it was the before or after tax price, but a fully loaded Countryman S JCW sells for Cdn$57k. I could just as easily buy myself a LOT of other different cars with that same $57k that will be faster, nicer, comfier etc. than the Countryman!
Now, that was the Countryman. But what about the girl sin?
I am not kidding, man. With all the add-ons and accessories and packages, the totally loaded the brim version of the Countryman S JCW was Cdn$57k. Don't forget that cars are more expensive in Canada than they are in the US to begin with. The Country S already starts at Cdn$32,650 here in Canada.
