Mini Countryman...

[Courtney]

Anyone seen them? There are loads popping up around my area.. All the mini one version though...

Going to go out to the BMW garage in september and see what they are like to drive.. Really liking them... And maybe next year if i feel like a change (even though i said i wouldn't) i might see if i can get my hands on one.. Depending how they drive of course..

They are such good looking cars!

Thoughts on them guys?

 

[stevenn133]

apologies but i hate them, they are over priced, cramped, slow, and no good off road which is supposed to be the whole point of them, my brother in law loves mini's and even he hates them. sorry maybe I'm a bit one sided lol. I'd say there are much better cars around to replace a twingo.

 

[Ruddiezero]

Wouldn't no how they drive but hated them to when I first saw them! But have seen some that I like now must be converting to liking them and I proper slagge em off to start with lol

 

[Courtney]

Yeah I agree Ruddie, I never used to like them.. And I know they are meant to be off road cars with 4 x 4, but I wouldn't drive them off road anyway ;-) but I'm not really interested in the engine and what it does, I like the look of them

I did look for another thread but couldn't see a name anywhere, plus I don't think I went 9 months back!
Didn't realise they were out that long ago then, I thought they had just been around since March!

I really don't like them I'm afraid. Definitely not a fan

 

[Leanne]

I see a ton of these daily! when they first came out I wasn't really a fan but they've kind of grown on me I suppose

 

[Daveyb133]

I don't like them at all.

I think they have that effect. I've never really been a fan of minis until This one started to grow on me!

Looks like top gear tried to fill them to the top like their BL cars with water, and it bloated. No doubt it will be well made, BUT my money would go on a kia sportage any day of the week. MUCH better looking

 

[maggi200]

vs

Hmmm... not really hard is it :lol: plus the kia is an excellent bit of kit that really can take on the german metal these days. Our sorento has the 2.2 diesel. 200bhp and shed loads of torque as standard, for many thousands less than the german equivilant

 

[Courtney]

It is nice, but I don't like kias.

 

[maggi200]

It is nice, but I don't like kias.

See that's the view of a fair few people. BUT kia have come a long way, take all the badges off both cars. I doubt you would even look twice at the mini.

They are such good looking cars!

:shock: I am reading this right...aren't I.
You said "They are such good looking cars"

That's Good....the opposite of Bad?

THEY ARE HIDEOUS, MORONIC, INSULTS TO THE MINI BADGE, DRIVEN BY TOFFS AND MORONS! (Excluding Kris Meeke but his is Special)

Just my 2 Pence.

 

[Courtney]

Well, i think there are a lot worse looking cars out and around...

 

[maggi200]

Fiat multipla. And that 90s ford saloon that looks like a frog. That's it

 

[Courtney]

Ha, multipla... But i don't think its a bad looking car!

 

[maggi200]

Let me guess, you also like the upcoming mini coupe?
