 This is my baby an we have had a good time over the last 6 years and now I have kids that do not fit in the back seat anymore.  I have had the best reliability with this car, I have maintained the oil with only royal purple full synthetic oil, I had everything under the hood replaced that was rubber at 160,000 miles.  Belts, hoses, clutch,power steering pump, bearings too, basically the engine, transmission, A/C, radiator, ECU were kept and everything else was replaced.  There is some oil stains on the trunk lid because I apparently followed someone who was leaking oil pretty bad and it splashed up and stuck to the back, a friend of mine says it will come off with a clay bar soap, I haven't tried yet.  The passenger seat air bag wires have been jiggled and the light comes on, I had it checked out and the dealership has to replace the wiring harness under the passenger seat and reset the light, no one ever sits in the passenger seat so I haven't fixed it as of yet, other things that are not perfect is the paint, it has a few dings, the driver side window needs it's motor replaced, I have it and haven't replaced it, the driver side electronic lock needs to be replaced too but i use the key, I like the nostalgia.  I have upgraded the pulley and belt to a 15% smaller pulley and one size smaller belt to compensate and the horse power really comes on when I put my foot down.  The last 115,000 miles were 90% highway for what it's worth.  The driver seat has tears and is well worn, I was going to just put a seat cover on it and keep going, I just had two new tires put on in the back that is not shown in the pictures.Send me an e-mail if you have more questions. There are PIAA lights on the front also.

Mini ditches four-seat Countryman

Wed, 10 Oct 2012

Mini is walking away from the rear bucket seats in its Countryman crossover. MotoringFile.com reports that starting in 2013, the CUV will no longer offer just two seats in the second row. Originally, Mini was forced to offer the buckets due to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rules governing the the minimum vehicle width for the allowance of three-wide seating. That rule was recently changed, which allowed Mini to offer the bench seat. Not surprisingly, few buyers have opted for the awkward bucket-and-rail configuration since. Moving forward, all Countryman models will also come with the vehicle's flat-load rear floor as well.
During our time with our long-term Countryman, we found the middle rail between the two buckets to be a bit gimmicky, especially given the fact that the cup holders were only large enough to accommodate a 12-ounce can.

Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix

Sat, 10 Nov 2012

Aside from the general lack of snow in the Midwest earlier this year that hampered our ability to properly play with our Blizzak-equipped Mini Contryman long-term test vehicle, the biggest problem we had with this crossover during the year we spent with it was the transmission. On four different monthly updates (September, October, November and June), all in the hands of different Autoblog editors, the Countryman's clutch was called out for being too finicky, leading to many stall outs. Apparently, we weren't alone in our assessment of the Countryman's clutch woes.
According to MotoringFile, Mini has updated the Countryman with a different clutch material and improved software. This much-needed change is being implemented starting this month, but Mini hasn't said what it is doing about existing 2011 and 2012 Countryman models that are afflicted with this problem.
Head over to MotoringFile to see the full official statement from Mini USA on this issue.

New Mini to bow on Nov. 18, on Alec Issigonis' birthday

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Miniacs, note November 18 on your calendar. That's when the all-new Mini Hardtop will debut. Now, this might not be a great deal of news, after all, we already showed you the car, codenamed F56, a few weeks ago. But this full unveiling should bring with it even more detailed exterior images, a full look at the cabin and if we're lucky, performance numbers.
History buffs will also note that November 18 is the birthday of Sir Alec Issigonis. It was Issigonis that penned the original idea for the Mini on a cocktail napkin, envisioning a car with a transversely mounted engine, the wheels pushed out to all four corners and plenty of cabin space for occupants. That car had a remarkably small footprint and was quite efficient, perfect for tackling the fuel shortages brought on by the Suez Crisis in 1959's Great Britain. An unintended side-effect of its design was that it was also an absolute hoot to drive.
The November 18 debut will take place at Mini's home, Plant Oxford, in the UK. Following that, November 20 will see a near-simultaneous debut at both the Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles Auto Show. We'll be on hand to bring you all the details.
