2nd Gen Paceman Most liked posts in thread: After six months with Paceman ALL4...

That's ok we have enough fat slobs in government jobs here in the US we don't need another one.

We would like you to take Justin Bieber back.

 

Quite the appropriate photo location. Betcha can't wait for that snow to melt!

 

The Paceman and Countryman are the two MINI models I want to hate, I should hate, and I can't. I like them both, The Paceman is slightly better looking, but the Countryman is slightly more functional for a family. I had a Countryman for a week and really liked it. I do think they're overrpriced, a little underpowered, but I've grown to accept them--they're big, but they still have the MINI look. I could own one someday--not as a replacement to my R53, but in addition to it, filling a different role.

 

What did the leper say to the prostitute?

Keep the tip.

Ok, that was bad, but those tips aren't--very nice, they'll look great come summer time with a shiny car...

 

They may be low, but we do have standards.:wink:

Unfortunately, the ones keeping them low are the ones that get all the press!

 

:cornut::crazy: Okay, okay we'll keep him along with our guns and the Bill of Rights but were going to send 'Hope and Change' up to you, okay?:lol::lol:

Not cool. I wouldn't wish that on even North Korea. Ok, we'll maybe North Korea, but definitely not Canada. It didn't take much for Canada to invade Poland and bomb Pearl Harbor and start that whole WWII thing; I certainly don't want to give them reason to bomb us. Except for maybe Detroit, I'd be alright with that. You have to be a student of history on these things...

 

I have had my JCW for about 6 months and 13k miles of twisties and mountains and i love the hell out of the car...alot of times i forget im in a larger mini compared to my R53...that AWD really picks up the slack

 

Nice ride and I really wish the put that more upright front end on the new 3rd gen cars.

 

The OP is right, it's probably the most polarizing Mini model. Our CM is turning out to be a fantastic all weather, capable, really fun car, so our experience is the same as yours.

One thing I KNOW I would like better in the Paceman over our CM is entry and exit. I am 6'6", and while the CM has plenty of room for me, I have the seat all the way back, which means when I look to the left for traffic, I am staring right into the door pillar. I constantly have to lean forward and look around it.

With the Paceman and that big single door, I wouldn't have that problem and entry-exit with a single large door would be much easier, but that's just a minor inconvenience.

We just preferred the 4 door body style, which is why we chose the CM.

Great to see you are having a wonderful time!

 

Great pictures, the look of PC is starting to grow on me.

I would want to mod the hell out of it of course, but it has all the basics to start with.

 

I like it in the snow, it's cool. But I would want to mod it's so much it would only be a lowered AWD track monster.

It would never be in the snow again.

 

I think yours is the first paceman I find truly beautiful. I really enjoyed my CM in the full JCW appearance and aero kit (save the red roof, I opted for black roof and red strips) but in red and black, that little paceman is really gorgeous, it wears the size of the ALL4 line of cars a lot better it seems, might I saw the CM visually appears to be a little chinkier?
