MINI Countryman

[the Teuton]

Why does BMW like to answer questions no one asked?

"Why doesn't MINI have a larger, AWD car that's less agile and has two more doors but is just as useless?"

[J86]

Hell, assuming they can channel the dynamics the MINI has, it's got plenty of attraction!

[Minpin]

Jesus this actually makes some semblance of sense down here, assuming the air intake is placed up high.

Time to finally welcome you to the good side! 

[Tave]

Why people who constantly bitch about big cars feel the need to post in The Big Guys subforum, I will never know.

[the Teuton]

Time to finally welcome you to the good side!  

With the added ground clearance, it will more easily be able to run over the poor proletariat masses.

[J86]

Actually Teuton (fuckit, I'll call ya Jakob, I mean if we're facebook friend we must know each other, right ) this has gotta be one of the few goddamn places where it makes sense to own a truck in an urban area.  Flash floods and what have you...

But is the MINI really high enough for that?

[J86]

The MINI ute?  I have no idea, I haven't seen one!

In all honesty, a cute ute such as a CR-V would get you through the majority of the problems you encounter down here that regular cars have troubles with.  You dont NEED to jack your C10 Chevy 10 feet up...

Then it might make sense.

I think it'll sell well no matter what. MINI people are pretty hardcore.

I'm getting one for my wife as soon as it's on sale. She loved it.

[Submariner]

They are trying to do too much with too little.

You sure are adamant about the uselessness of a Mini for someone who's never owned one.

I love that damn car. I love driving them, I love the steering, I live the styling, I love the layout, I love the clutch, I love the rev-happiness.

But I'm not an idiot. That car doesn't have much usable space.

It doesn't have much usable space if you have to drive around more than two people. If you only have one or two people though, it has plenty of usable space.

Hawt. 

[Catman]

This car seems silly.......I think.

[MexicoCityM3]

It has all the space you need for a couple. I went for a 10 day trip in the cabrio a couple of years ago with my wife. Using the back seat for additional storage everything fit and I was even able to lower the roof.

This thing has a lot more space than a Cabrio. I never had a problem with the space and I am 6 ' 4". For more than 2, it would be a problem (in the cabrio). This will do fine for most uses.

They call that one the Cooper or Clubman.

Well, another larger model with 5 real doors.

[omicron]

Oh for heaven's sake. That's grotesque.

They'll sell billions.

Godawful jaunty camera angles inducing motion sickness, violent upskirt screenshots, and other such trendylicious tomfoolery.

Yeah, but he drove one in a parking lot, so it's cool.

[the Teuton]

I can't win. I've driven them farther than you have. I've driven them faster than you have.

I drove a MINI that was half carbon fiber and was boosted to about 250-300 hp. But none of that matters. Go fuck yourself.

God, it wouldn't be so much fun to rile you up if it weren't so easy.

I need to calm down.

[the Teuton]

And yes...she very well might come with the car.

You be trollin' hard.

[2o6]

I like it a lot.







No bench seat?

[68_427]

So do I.  Although I'm wondering how comfortable the 2nd row actually is.
