We collected our new Countryman Cooper SD last week
I haven't had much chance to drive it properly yet but I did manage a hours hurtle round the lanes of Exmoor on Saturday morning...
After 3 years with a Cooper Hatch this one is much quicker. Performance figures say otherwise but in the real world the torque of the SD (305Nm) makes a big difference.
My main niggle so far is the seat won't drop low enough so you sit a bit high, its no unlike our old Freelander. Its comfortable but you don't feel as 'at one' with the car as you do with the hatch.
I'll report back as I get to grips with the beasty...
