I'm in the (surprisingly drawn out) process of selling my car, and I'm looking to "downgrade" to something slower, more practical, and not so keen to make me want to push it. This puts the 5.0 out of my shopping list as it was originally my #1 choice. So far I'm considering a MkVI GTi and New Beetle. I'm big on style, so the car has to be either unique (in a good way), or stylistically sound.
That's when I came across a white Countryman 4S in white with black accents. Call me crazy but I love it. Been checking out reviews; it's peppy, but not fast, but most importantly it supposedly handles just like a Mini that's a tad bigger. I want my commutes to be fun, so that's a necessity. And I really can see myself driving this; it's like a butch Mini on 'roids.
I like the Mini Cooper, but it's honestly just too cutesy to interest me. Driven a few, love the way they drive, but I'll never own one. Not interested in many JDM cars. I'm much bigger on Europeans and domestics.
Thoughts? Does anyone here own a Countryman?
TIA
