Actually saw a countryman the other day, they're smaller than you'd think and don't look too bad really. I'd never buy one though, seems kind of pointless.

What? Mini Cooper S Countryman?

So, it weighs 1350kg, has four doors, and all-wheel drive. How can they call that a mini?

1350kg? That's over twice the weight of my real mini. That's 100kg heavier than my Valiant AP5 too!

Totally agree nice looking car. But far from Mini concept.

If it wasn't for the rules I would say that Beemer is one very, very ugly vehicle that has no right to be called a Mini.
