FLDetours: MINI Countryman

I liked this show particularly because we have 2 dudes talking instead of just 1 dude picking up points that they notice as they go through the ride.

I am also not a fan of RF tires. I'm located in Japan, and when I check BMW's offerings, pretty much all models are 'RFed.' Exceptions would be the Ms or Schnitzers that have real tires. This pretty much makes me want to look elsewhere should I want to buy a new car.

But I have never test driven a car with RFs but I do see reviews by journalists who can't quite say 'yay for run-flats' just yet. Your review reinforced my feelings about this.

I myself like Minis but have reservations about forking over dough for versions like the one covered in this show. For a zippy ride, I'd go for the plain Mini and not even bother with any of the Coopers or turbos.
