I have been lurking on here for a couple of weeks getting details on a Mini Countryman. I am not an owner yet, but will have one by the end of summer. My plan is to get a CooperS with All4. I want a sporty car that has all wheel drive, a manual transmission, and has some creature comforts.
My last car was an Acura TL that I really liked. I sold it last fall to drive an old Honda Civic that will be my daughter's this summer. Once she gets her license, I am on the prowl for my new car.
My wife and I like the Mini's but they are too small for our family. The CM seems to take that hurdle away, while still having the soul of it's little brother.
I am active on forums for my motorcycle, a Victory Kingpin, so I thought this would be good to get some background on the car. Thanks for letting me be part of the group and I look forward to learning a lot about the CM in the coming months.
