Dear all Expert Sifu,
Good afternoon.
Truly hope can receive some advice here.
Basically I’m eyeing a year 14/15 either countryman or beetle for my wife using in a small town and also as our weekend car. May I know in terms of durability which one are easier taking care as I know these both brands are like little princess get sick easily 😅 this would be a second car to us. I am living in melaka town.
Someone told me that the N18 mini engines after year 2012 are more matured. And also another person told me if beetle must get the 2014 and above. These are the basics I known and hopefully any sifu can guided me further. Many thanks !
Stay safe all.

what the countryman engine..
beside the 2.0 engine...other very problematic..
that's wat i've been told

U know they get sick easily still want to buy..but if u really want to get between this 2..go for mini countryman

2015 model..
i suspect is prince engine.....reliable? the name says it all..

so your point is? u prefer beetle?

i will ditch both choices

If countryman will target the 1.6 S year 2015 thanks
Can’t afford the 2.0 😅

Actually not much choices shorter car on market. I’m selling a very new 2019 vios to a shorter car as I have a SUV as main transportation. Other hatchback really cannot find one that more cool looking..

Didnt read my sentence properly?

Beetle and countryman is not that short..i always dont recommend ppl to get old continental car that are out of warranty. They create problems and not cheap to fix. Consider proton X50. Its new and pretty reliable so far.

Get the beetle with 2.0 TSI with wet clutch DSG. Good luck finding it though as they are rare. Ignore the beetles other than this

Thank you for the recommendation but don’t quite like that one 😅

Ok well noted. Thank you and now only I know the 2.0 are not dry clutch
