Here's the MINI that stops making sense on paper and starts making sense on a back road. The John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 takes the biggest, most family-friendly MINI and hands it around 300 hp with all-wheel drive, so it launches hard and grips through corners a crossover this practical has no right to. You pay handsomely for it and the ride can get busy on rough tarmac, but if you want one car that swallows the kids' gear and still embarrasses hot hatches, it's a genuinely clever answer. Just go in knowing you're paying a real premium over a normal Countryman for the badge and the noise.
