Countryman ALL4 - Snow

Hi All!

Now that I've had my Countryman for two whole snow storms, I figured it would be a good time to share my thoughts on the ALL4 (All Wheel Drive system) as well as how the MINI performs in the snow!

MINI Countryman Rear Bucket vs. Bench Seat! It's going down! [UPDATE]

There seems to have been quite a commotion regarding the upcoming availability of rear bench seat in US among MINI Countryman community. At the moment, you can only order MINI Countryman with individual rear bucket seat for 4 passengers. According to MINI, you will soon be able to order it with rear bench seat allowing 5 passenger configuration, possibly as early as July of this year. Rear bench seat is likely to be no cost option while 4 passenger bucket seat is the standard feature (similar to full or split rail option)

[UPDATE] MINI can Pre-Program my MINI to think like me?

Does your car think like you? MINI certainly thinks it does. I received an email from MINI the other day and it told me it can pre-program some settings in before the delivery for my liking. Presetting my favorite radio stations, when and how my MINI should lock and unlock the doors, frequency of my blinker signal, DRL on/off and more! How cool is that! and how does it work? Follow the jump to find out.

UPDATE: The representative at MINI (866-Ask-MINI) was not able to provide as to why the site would not transmit the preference and display error page. While he actually seemed unaware of such email/website, he did told me that he will place an inquiry about the issue. He also recommended talking to MA at MINI center regarding the pre-programming the vehicle. They should be able to set it up regardless as the site was designed to simply relay the information/preference to the MINI center.
