My view is! it looks like an abomination. I haven't even been in one but i feel BMW have taken the piss out of us with all these incarnations after the first remake was such a success for them. I can just imagine the design team laughing there cocks off at us. It reminds me of a Fiat multipla from most angles.  :rolleye:

You did ask.  :wink:

I've gotta be honest, for £14k with extra seats there'd be other 2011 plates higher up my list and none of them are Mini based  :ashamed: :chicken:

BMW got it wrong even with its "mini" name, as it's not even that :stupid:

Countryman is just wrong,even without having wooden doors like its predecessor

Looks and value aside, it's just far too small for 2 kids and their associated stuff. You'd be making life hard for yourself.
Sideways yo!

14k sounds ok but all depends on what model and spec
Where are the extra seats in a countryman over a golf ? there's less in a countryman as there are only two seats in the back
I drove one , it was nice but it was a brand new 8 miles on the clock cooper s
Countryman is also not very popular , hence they may appear cheap compared to new prices .
whats wrong with a 5 door Golf ? Audi A4 estate ? There's not alot of room in a countryman for stuff either

Love the way the newer ones say the name all the way across the boot. Makes me want to pick off the O and the R!

SWMBO's been running a mini cooper for the last two year - i absolutely hate the thing. 

The ONLY thing it's going going for it is cute looks - if you go for the big fat one then i'd guess that goes out the window too.. :fighting:

Very happy that this is going to be traded in the new year.   I'm not a fan of people carriers but the grand C-max that she's having next is better in every area.  Not what i'd buy but hey, it's her money we're spending so i can't complain.

Want something with all wheel drive, only kids going into the car when being dropped off at nursery.  Wife has a Touran for family outings.

Well if you've got twins it's "tank" you'll need and this visually, is nearly there!

let's face it children at that age destroy everything.

On a positive side if the price is right, buy it, longs it's comes with a good warranty period  - The fitters are not a lover of them too many repetitive silly faults.
