TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Fiat 500L is a tall-riding family hatchback that struggles with style and comfort in the name of affordability.

The 2019 Mini Countryman is a fun-to-drive crossover with sharp looks, cool interior, and a good hybrid powertrain—and none of it comes cheaply.

TCC Dislikes
