Interesting. I like minis but always found them a bit close to the floor for something I want to drive all the time. Also bit short on space. Does the countryman have more room?

Yep, a little bit higher off the ground, a little bit taller and a little bit longer. It's really only Mini by name, there's undoubtedly a dealership near enough to you to pop by on a spin and have a look I'd imagine?

How long you had your license? Don't you wanna bang around in the old car for a bit longer? I'm really keen to get rid of my shitbox but getting used to driving in it is a great way to avoid wrecking a new car...

Mini Countryman Cooper S (JCW if you're feeling spicy).
They're extremely overlooked imho and having owned and driven a few new Minis I've always found them to have great handling and with the right spec they're quite plush.
Available as a hybrid now also and they do a pretty neat OEM rear mounted bike rack that you can fold into the boot when not in use.
Certainly worth looking into though!
