MINI Countryman

Price: From R290 236

This new MINI crossover doesn’t just look as good as Ryk Neethling’s six-pack; it’s also a wise buy – this funky and utterly fabulous car has just earned the very best rating in the Euro NCAP crash test. The Countryman is particularly interesting car within the MINI world:  it’s the first vehicle within the company’s range that boasts four doors and a large tailgate. So, while it’s heaps of fun to drive, it’s practical too. This MINI was also designed bearing pedestrian protection in mind – so it’s good news for fellow road users too.
