Hi, just bought a Cooper Countryman, 2011. I know purists would say it's not very 'mini' but with grandchildren around we needed a bit more room etc. I wasn't sure about them myself when they first came out but, heh, I thought the same when the 'new' mini came out just over 10 years ago. We had 2 998cc models in the late '80s, a Cooper in the late 90's, a new model Cooper in 2002 and now this one which I feel is still in the spirit of 'Mini'
We are looking forward to our new, bigger, Mini adventure!!!!!

Welcome back.. we thought about a countryman... but slightly out of our price range... What do you think of the paceman... now that's a weird vehicle

... Hope you enjoy yourself here, they seem to be a very helpful bunch

Not sure why there is a Paceman but heh, I also don't think it's a good idea putting a sad face on a fun car, which is why I didn't buy a Cooper S!

On reflection I guess the paceman will be their new rally car at some stage, room for nice big engine and lots of engineering but to the outsider still looks like one you can buy!!
