Stopped by Mini of InSkip today to see if they had a Paceman and a Starlight Blue had just gotten off the truck. They said it should be in the showroom and also ready for test drives in the next day or so. Looking forward to stopping back next week to check it out.

 

Just got a call from Jessica, that babe ... it's ready!

 

Now at Inskip. Cooper S Paceman All-4, automatic w/ cold weather and Premium packages. Drives really nice. Not quite hardtop-go-kart-ish, but noticeably more planted than the Countryman. And it goes pretty well, too. They expect to have a manual on the lot in a couple of weeks, which I'm going to want to take out before making a final decision. But if the manual goes as well as the auto (which I found not to be the case when test-driving both versions of the Countryman a couple of years ago), I'll most likely be pulling the trigger.

If you're on the fence about it, you really have to drive it.

(That's my MCS behind it in the first pic.)

 

What did you think of the Starlight blue in person? Mine was suppose to be delivered last week, but has been delayed a few days. Can wait to see the blue in person.

 

I really like the starlight blue. That with white roof might have moved up to my first color choice.
