@ Jagvar, totally agree. I drove a new at the time 2005 2.5 5 speed and was pleasantly surprised how well it drove out. I was driving a 1998 Mercedes C230 at the time and this was a serious contender for a replacement. The dealer, Reedman Toll in Langhorne, PA, was almost giving the manual transmission examples away…

@StickyPickle....R53 Cooper S owner here. I completely agree. There is nothing "mini" about the Countryman, Clubman or frankly, the larger second gen Cooper. Even the R53 should be a tad smaller, IMO, but the performance and handling are spot on. Every time I see a Countryman, it's the same reaction I have with…

I'd prefer the "incendiare" version.
