Mini Countryman.
Sergio dropped into Zen with this Mini Cooper S Countryman and I couldn’t resist taking it for a spin. It’s pretty big and you sit pretty high up in it. I’m still not a fan of the mini’s interior. It’s crazy over the top, kitch almost and the massive speedo in the middle of the dash is just plain silly, tradition, or not. This Countryman was an auto which really did take the fun out of it’s zippy little engine. Whilst I’ve been loathing driving a manual on bad traffic days I’m not sure I could ever handle a full auto again… clutchless manuals (like the DSG gearbox in my old GTI) are a great compromise me thinks.
