New Prospective Mini Owner!

Hi All. I'm currently obsessed with the Mini Countryman All4. I've found this forum to be extremely helpful! So thank you all for your great info and commentary. A few questions:

1. When will the US Configurator include the Countryman?

2. Has anyone found good pictures that show the difference between the surf blue and the true blue? Every picture of the true blue looks different and I have yet to find the surf blue but the brochure color swatch looks nothing like the original surf blue. I'm liking the white with black top and mirrors but will this be the common color?

3. Has anyone test driven one yet? I'm really curious how it drives, what is the back seat is like and how much cargo space there is (aka can you get a big lab in there with one seat down?). I'm loving the mini but I'm also considering the A3.

Good luck with a countryman, colors are in the eye of the beholder, so like a test drive you are going to have to wait until they begin to land on our shores.

You might want to check out the Countryman Forum. Pretty sure you'll find the answers you need there.

+1 Activity in the Countryman forum is picking up and you'll find a number of us over there perhaps equally as obsessed. Welcome!

As far as I've heard "Surf Blue" is very similar to the MINI Hardtop's Oxygen Blue so you might want to search for some photos of those. It probably has a little more green in it (think somewhere close to turquoise but more blue) and True Blue is probably a pure solid blue blue.
