I am still breaking in my Countryman all4 w/700 miles... previous owner of Cooper S and i still have the luxury w/ wife a owner of a Cooper S... but I have to say the best one owned yet is the Countryman all4. Please sound off to you likes and/or dislikes... any extras added? I added quite a few. love the AeroKit! Connected w/Nav. and the rail system is great to transport my surfboard.

just got my first Mini 03/1/11. Got the All4 1000 mile in so far no regrets actually I've been driving Audis for last 6 yrs. Everyone making fun of me for getting into a mini. Joke is on them, I'm having a ball driving this baby

Got about 4k on my All4 so far. The only complaint I have seems to be a common one...I wish the sport button would just stay on all the time!

Got my ALL4 on January 3 and so far we've spent 5100 super-fun miles together. Performance in snow and ice was better than I expected.

No regrets or complaints so far. I wish I got better MPG (averaging 28 in mostly highway driving), but my driving style is partially to blame.

Haven't added anything special yet. Still debating whether to get stripes, as I'm not sure what would look best on Royal Grey. Maybe red?

I'm with gocarrt - sport button should be the default.

Same here. Husband has had a few A6's and will be going from his current A6 to a CMS (assuming it ever gets here!!!). He's receiving the same treatment -- the masses just don't understand!

Glad to hear you're enjoying your Countryman!

28mpg is actually great for an AWD system. I've owned several Subaru's and their fuel consumption just sucks.

With Royal Grey, I would put flat black stripes!

Yep - flat black is in the running. I'm debating between subtle and ... well, not so subtle.
