Living with MINI :: Day 3. Loving it so far.

I am loving the Countryman so far after little over 100 miles of motoring. It just looks fantastic: as a car design professional, I really do appreciate good designs), very fun to drive: handles well with minimal body roll and engine is quite punchy!, and great to live in: loving sporty black interior all around with piano black accent, MINI Connected is quite a kick ass feature! Downside? There are couple things.. but more on that next time.

    Congrats, looks awesome! We got ours yesterday and I am loving it so much!! My Dad has been visiting so I haven't had much time to really figure out Connected but It seems pretty neat. Curious to hear about what the drawbacks are that you mentioned...

    Darn. From what I see on the image of the MINI Connected display above and it's capability to integrate iPhone data makes me wonder why I did not order the option. Thanks a lot Aaron....

    Mine is surf-blue with white top non-S. I also got the premium pkg, connected, and navigation. We also went a little crazy with the accessories and got rubber floor mats, boot liner, the small antennae, roof rack, rubbish bag and an "I love mini" mug! I love the mats and liner! Did you get any accessories?

    @Chulanda
    Yup.. it's actually really cool- Sorry you are missing out! ;)

    @Anony
    Nice. Surf Blue with white top is a looker as well. I contemplated a lot on the roof color before finally giving into dark side. Nice list of accessories you got esp, "I Love MINI" mug. =) I don't have much accessories other than carpeted floor mats given by the dealers.. I do wish I should've gotten rubber! Do you have a picture of your car you'd like to share?

    Just sent the pics to the email! These were taken a few days after we got it so it isn't pristine :)

    I ordered a MINI Clubman a few weeks back, and I can't wait for it to arrive! In the meantime, I'm enjoying living vicariously through your blog.

    I would love to hear more about MINI Connected...what do you like, what do you not like?

    Thanks for the great blog!
