Mini Countryman...

[DrDrew]

I'm still really not a fan of the giant speedo dash.

How roomy did it feel inside? Given their relative gargantuan proportions on the outside, it always looks like there's not much room in them inside

There wasn't AS much room as i thought in the boot, but thats more than made up for with rear leg room i think. The height is a bit strange as i had the seat low, but i felt a bit squashed because of the low roof, but that was intensified by the dark lining. Front had plenty of room to move round and felt comfortable for me, and I'm not the smallest person in the world ;-)

I'll give it one thing, I prefer the cuntryman to the horrid mini coupe thingy. Man that thing is ugly

 

[Courtney]

Have you seen one? There was one in the show room when I was there, wasn't ACTUALLY as bad as I thought they were, it made me look twice. But I still wouldn't want one.

 

[weebob]

Yup. Hideous thing. Looks like someone sat on it

Mini on steroyds I say.

I'm still not a fan, but I remembered there were some fans of the mini countryman on here so thought I'd post that there's going to be a new more expensive slightly faster fat mini, the "mini" countryman JCW

I say fast(ish) as it's supposed to be 7s 0-60, but it's going to cost just shy of £28,000!

There will always be a cooper, a cooper s, a cooper d, a cooper sd and a jcw of every mini variant. Because that's what they do :lol:

The inside is the same on every single one. The outside looks the same too. They've literally gone to Porsche and copied their design philosophy

 

[DrDrew]

Want to make a big mini smaller? make it a coupe!

:lol:

 

[maggi200]

How is the ring relevant to a 4x4 mini coupe thing?

 

[DrDrew]

Bit of fun for the test drivers?

 

[maggi200]

I wouldn't call it fun... what's wrong with the woods?

 

[DrDrew]

Doesn't look like it's got enough ground clearance for much there
