Default Mini Countryman

Drove the new Mini Countryman a few months back and liked it a lot. Just a tad pricey compared to the Fiesta though.

This thing is why ford wants to do a fiesta crossover... One thing BMW knows, it's chassis dynamics. Too bad they can't do after sale parts and service a bit, dare I say, cheaper.

Ordering one is a PITA too. Takes forever and a day and dealer's inventories are usually lacking, therefore requiring that you place an order more often than not.

They are fun to drive, I just can't get past the interior, just a little too over the top for me.

Cool Cute but expensive. Like a pet lizard (heat lamps = $$$).

I like Minis. My wife really seems to like the Cooper S. I told her after I get my BSN, maybe she can get one.

Was it the S or the non-S? I thought the non-S automatic I drove was no fun at all.

The Nissan Juke is an interesting car, though. That comes with a 188HP engine in all trims.

I liked how the Cooper S drove. I didn't like the MSRP I was given: $45K

I like Minis too, but the Countryman? One word; Atrocity.
