Mini Countryman...

[Courtney]

Oh yes I remember that well now. Quite worrying that it never was cher lol

Haha At the sportage comment, it looks much better than the mini. And Many soft off roaders. they're cracking bits of kit. And they out do the Germans in a lot of areas now, in fact I did read a review comparing it to the x1 and mini somewhere and it won outright quite easily

 

[Courtney]

I'm sure performance wise there is a lot better out there, but I like the way it looks!

 

[maggi200]

No I mean it won on quality, ride, looks, price. Basically owned it...

 

[Courtney]

We are all entitled to our own opinions and i think it looks nice. if you think its owned by kia thats fine!

 

[maggi200]

exactly lol. But my point is that the mini is a lot of money for a badge... the kia has come a LOOONNNNG way (take kias 5 years ago and compare them to today's products...)

 

[Courtney]

Its the same as everything though, you pay for the name.. and me, i like expensive things

 

[Courtney]

I almost feel a little harsh. Almost

Sorry Courtney, it's nout personal! You just happen to be the receiver of today's "banter" since rob is in sunny san diego or whererever :lol:

 

[Courtney]

It was amazing and I want one now.

 

[weebob]

Each to their own mate. Personally not a fan but that's life. I have never driven one so can only comment on the looks.

What did you like about it?

 

[Courtney]

I only drove the 120bhp cooper one - which was pretty impressive, smooth pull away, handles brilliantly, comfortable ride, great round the roundabouts, and that all important 6th gear! (The one i would like would be the 180bhp cooper s all 4, but they didn't have any in at the garage) + the interior is amazing.

It is nice on the inside, even if the outside doesn't float your boat, step foot inside and you will change your mind (apart from the GIANT speedo lol)
