I love the color, never see any around this shade of blue. Little did I know that I would put less that 10,000 miles on the far and it would need repair. Customer support has been a joke. $40,000 POS. I should have bought a lotus like I wanted to...

ouch! So I am guessing you're not in the "happy" owners camp. Sorry your experience hasn't met your expectations. I have just shy of 15K miles and no issues - no regrets.

I actually havent found a set of wheels that appeals to me weight/looks wise.



I keep the roof rack base on 24/7 because i use the bike attachments during summer and the snowboard attachment during the winter. When not in use i take them off so they dont make wind noise.

Crazy how much the weight difference is between stock seats and the new ones though.

Bah, you don't need a backseat anyways. The back is where I put my jacket mid-afternoon once it warms up. That's all.

Exactly. I yanked out my back seats a long time ago and haven't missed 'em at all. In fact I like that I can't have passengers back there any more. That's what the Countryman is for!

Countryman isn't for passengers, it's for off-road capabilities!

P.s. JCW Countryman next summer...
