Default MINI COUPER's Countryman, 5door AWD

wouldnt own one per say but i think it's kinda cool. AWD, decent space but it's slow as balls though! (Mini claims 10.5sec 0-60mph)

I think BMW's directors need a swift kick in the arse for coming up with these. The Mini is becoming less mini with every new joke model. First the Clubman and now this. Tisk tisk BMW.

i'm with you, they new a bit more into the original mani. would be cool to see a more performance oriented mini for the enthusiasts like us cause the mini S just isnt doing it.

would love to see a factory stripped down track mini with the turbo model, nice cage, a bit more power, and maybe borrowing the AWD system from this car. kinda like a mini "RS"

fuck it make it in very limited numbers if anything, bet you there is a good market for that


well i do have to say i am starting to like the 1 series BMW more and more the more i see it. the 135i is starting to grow on me, i used to not like the looks of that car much but saw one the other day and it's growing on me. lets see what they do with the M1. but i wish they would have done the M1 like the old M1 as more of a futuristic mid engine supercar type car
