I must admit I do have a bit of a soft spot for it. I didn’t at first but then I had a small drinking session & decided I wanted to do the Dakar Rally (it was a lot of drink, mind) and I sort of fell in love with it. The New Mini Cooper is a love/hate too I must admit.

I wonder why they made it look so pissed off? I’d be tempted if it looked a bit happier.

If you have to have a yuppie mobile get a 320d purely because it ticks the right boxes with customers, is reasonable on fuel and is very pleasant to drive.

of course if you are set on a comedy hair dressers Tonka toy then the countryman is the motor for you…

I have a 57 plate BMW 320d M sport on my drive. One of the reasons I want a small fun car.
I deal with tradesmen all day, they think my 320M is an M3 and always comment ‘that I must be doing well’ I need something humble.

Nearly there. Can’t decide Countryman Cooper D or SD?

My Cooper D is fast enough, cruises at 90mph with no problems (on the Autobahn of course), nippy off the mark and cheaper tax.

Just 42mpg with my heavy right foot, so the SD will be even less, do you pay for your own fuel?

It could be like this! 😀
