Brookline, Massachusetts, United States

I love this car.
I hate to sell it, but I lost my job and cannot afford it. I've only had it since October. Drove it from Boston to San Fran and back. Watch the video of me on the Salt Flats in Utah! http://youtu.be/TbubjtnR0rA?t=30s all wheel drive, upgraded stereo system, cold weather package with heated seats and mirrors. Wipers come on when they sense rain. This car is awesome. Couple quirks - Scratch on front passenger bucket seat - could be treated with leather conditioner. Front left running light occasionally goes out, comes back on. The "engine at half power" indicator light illuminates intermittently. Took it to dealer three times, but there is no problem as they can tell. 2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman with ALL4 all-wheel drive. On the road since 2010. I've been driving since 1996, never had an accident, and have driven this vehicle all over the country. Great for road trips. Great for groceries. I was impressed with how much room there is. I went from a Mini Cooper S manual to this S All4 Countryman Automatic. Great upgrade. And with the upgrade to the Harmon Kardon Stereo System, this thing is like driving in a personal entertainment system. Sad to see it go, but, lost my business and am moving to the city. This is our third car, and definitely was my toy. Good news is, now it can be your toy! The reserve price is set below both the KBB and the Edmunds value. Excellent is $20,145. very good is 19,527. Good deal, now you just have to try and outwit the other bidders. Good luck! Details: 181-hp turbocharged engine Fuel-efficient: EPA ratings for the base Countryman are 27 mpg city, 35 highway. An infinitely variable electro-mechanical clutch has the finesse and toughness to handle conditions varying from a steep, snowy driveway to a muddy field. The seating position is about three inches higher than other MINI models. Lounge Leather piped leather upholstery is available. Center Rail system: a unique system that replaces the center console with a range of storage options--ranging from cup-holders, armrest and specialized holder for electronics. Along with two normal-sized back doors, the Countryman has respectable backseat space in two individual seats capable of sliding 5.1 inches fore and aft as well as tilt or fold at an angle to obtain up to 41.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Up top, there's also a roof-rail system. In what is a hallmark of the MINI brand, the Countryman promises a very nimble driving feel and plenty of agility, making it more fun to drive on a curvy road compared to other small crossovers. With MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link setup in back, the Countryman hugs the road and stays controlled while also having a reasonably settled ride. The electric-assisted power steering system varies effort based on speed, allowing a light feel while parking or a more secure feel at high speed. A Sport Mode provides an even firmer steering feel. The Countryman has the safety-feature set of a larger, more expensive vehicle. Electronic stability control is standard, as is an electronic differential lock that helps manage traction between the front wheels. Anti-lock brakes and cornering brake control further help with driving confidence and safety. Bluetooth interface. USB audio input. |

Honda engines and giant killing in the classic Mini Cooper
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Electric Federal has taken a fresh look back at the enduring legacy of original Mini with a video interview with Heritage Garage's Graham Reid, one of the foremost experts on classic Minis. As Electric Federal points out, it's important to remember that the Mini did not start out as a performance car. It was built in response to the Suez Canal crisis of the mid-50s, which had a similar effect on British gas prices as OPEC did on American prices in the 1970s - rationing and rapid price jumps.
Through the years, Minis have grown from their budget roots to become seriously competent performance machines. As Reid says, a 150-horsepower Mini on the right track should have no problem outpacing a contemporary Porsche 911.
For some time now, classic Mini owners have been dropping Honda engines under the tiny hoods of their classics. With up to 250 horsepower pulling a car that tips the scales at barely 1,200 pounds, the upgraded Mini is "a real sleeper," Reid says. Interestingly, Reid doesn't mention another increasingly common swap in the Mini community - Suzuki Hayabusa-powered Coopers.
Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
