Countryman bigger than I thought!!
So, I kinda bought the countryman on a whim (it FINALLY arrives tomorrow after a 2 month wait)! I only test drove it once for like 2 minutes! I haven't really seen many around town, but I saw 3 today on the same street!!
They are ALOT bigger than I thought they were!! They are bigger than a 3 series!!! I had no idea! LOL!!!

oh yeah, they're spacious inside. Don't know if you've opt for the bench seat back there, but I tell ya 4 separate seats is awesome...
congrats

What I could copy from the site:
These technically sophisticated headlights automatically turn their beams around each bend in the road to illuminate what's ahead. Turn the car right and the headlights angle right. Turn it left, and the headlights angle left. (Note: Adaptive Light Control not available with black h

I can't believe I have to wait ONE more week!! :(
Also, silly question, but the last time I got a new car (A VERY LONG time ago as my last 2 have been hand me downs), I had to break in my car by driving really slow?? Under 50 miles. Is that still the case these days?

Hmmm...Not to take this thread in another direction, but why didn't the dealer tell me that? If that is the case it seems it should be part of the standard information that is communicated when they hand over the keys... I've hit the rev limiter a few times when in manual mode on my auto because it took a while to get used to the direction of the +/-. Glad it didn't over rev! At about 2K now, so it's too late for me.

Get used to a lack of or contradictory information.
I told my MA on December 24th that I had discovered (through a thread here) that the All4 system was the opposite of how it was pitched to me. We were both headed opposite directions (Christmas eve and all), but she said she'd call me to find out more about it.
Something tells me it's more about moving units than anything else... Still waiting for that call. :(
Cheers,

Yeah. CM is deceptive. Just traded in our 3 series for an 11 CMS. Feels way more spacious inside - which is nice, as I'm 6'4". I live in DC so I parallel park most every time I go out. Still not used to it. When I'm parking I feel like I'm maneuvering a big ol thing - then I get out and realize I have twice the space I thought I did.

Someday I'll be able to trust new technology...
Size is perfect. Husband is 6'+ and has a hinky back. Getting into the WRX took contortioning and was a lot harder because it seems more low-slung inside. The mini seats are set up well for hinky backs.

The CM is just the right size for 4 adults. Friends are amazed, friends have a Lincoln MKZ and our CM has just as much room in the back seat. I have a back issue that made it difficult to find the right car. (I can't have lumbar support) The CM with sport seats was the perfect fit. Parking is a breeze. OK so it doesn't handle like it's smaller brethren but it's still a MINI. Never thought I would like it as much as I do but after 21k of driving, we want another MINI. Our second will be a Roadster. We will have one practical and one impractical.

The manual mode in auto won't let you over rev. Ever. It's not a true manual in any sense. Flipping the paddles will let you up or down shift if it is a reasonable request. Otherwise the computer will override your shift requests.
When I had an auto loaner I also noticed it would not let me shift into first unless I was moving very slowly....about half the speed as would have been at redline.

Congrats! I have the Blk housings HL's w/o Adaptive. I figured it was 1 less thing to break. Xenon was a must & is highly recommended.
Its quite big inside. I never feel claustrophobic (but its also been my largest car ever owned)
I think the short overhangs contribute the the 'small' look. PPL are like, oh its so cute, its so small, etc. But when I compare interiors/space its not small by any means, they find the same when I show them the interior.
On the contrary when I got into like 25 larger cars/suv's at the auto-show, I was truly amazed at how little interior space they actually had (vs exterior dimensions).
