Hard Top Love ?

Hey all, I've managed to put a little over 100k on my 02 mcs and am looking to buy a countryman to replace it. Been educating myself on these for a bit, looking through the forums and seeing whats out there on Craig's List and what not. I've yet to find one without the glass roof. Was a hard top not an option with the countryman?

Our 2012 was available without a sun roof, I’m thinking that starting with 2015 they became standard and our 2016 has one.

You’ll love it! We recently bought a CPO 2015 CMS All4 and it’s great! It has the pano roof...I’m not a s/r fan personally but it’s not a big deal...simply slide the shades closed inside and forget about it...less to worry about if you get caught in a hail storm too...lol!

I recommend getting a 2015 or 2016 though as the interiors are better....less silver on the dash...I prefer black. Some good deals out there for cars coming off lease & you get a warranty!

Thanks for the info guys.
My issue with the pano roof is I have no indoor vehicle storage and living out on the coast the wind and salt air is worrisome.
I think I must have gotten lucky when I found my 02 mcs hard top.
The search continues .

Covercraft makes a great car cover for outdoor storage....I just bought an EVO IV for our Countryman...it fits snugly and covers the entire car! It even has a built in antenna cover (but it’s easier to simply unscrew the antenna!)

That’s good news.....I’d prefer no sunroof also but at least it’s good to know they are out there! I’m not so sure about 2015 & newer though.
