Our third adventure with non-american cars. My wife was looking for a replacement for her Chrysler Pacifica. Something smaller, but still comfortable. Had to be AWD - she liked the looks of the Mini Cooper, but did not think there was enough room - until she got in one - Long story short - she ordered a Mini Cooper S Countryman All4 on June 30. It is complete and awaiting a ride to the US. She can hardly wait for it to get here - Course she ordered it from a dealer 1800 miles away - so a road trip bringing it home at under 4500 RPM and less than 100MPH. Michael
My wife also ordered a 2012 Countryman S AWD which now has 1100 miles logged. It is seductive, I agree, and has ample room especially when upgrading from a MINI hardtop. You will enjoy the trip back from the dealer even though eyeballing the tach. Thanks for posting on MA which makes MINI ownership even more enjoyable!
Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance. Sounds like the drive home will get those break in miles done in a jiffy. Just remember to alter revs when on the highway.
