Choosing between these two depends on the size and driving feel you want. The MINI Aceman is the shorter car, offering agile handling that makes it fun to chuck about on twisty B-roads. The MINI Countryman is longer, tows more, and provides a larger boot both with the rear seats in place and when folded flat. Inside, the Countryman has spacious rear seats with loads of headroom and legroom, whereas the Aceman has quite tight rear seating. Over rougher surfaces, the Countryman deals with bumps pretty well, while the Aceman has very firm suspension that can feel uncomfortable for passengers. Both cabins share distinctive fabric trim on the dashboard and feature a central circular screen, meaning that unless you have a head-up display fitted, you will be glancing towards the centre of the car to check your speed in either model.
