A Countryman All4 Review After A Snowy Weekend

WhiteRoofRadio cohost and Detroit Tuned wrencher Chad Miller at MotoringFile reviews the new MINI Countryman All4 after a three day weekend to Marquette, Michigan. His review is divided into 5 sections: Ride, Exterior, Interior, Power, and Traction. Here's his overall conclusion:
Overall I give the Countryman All4 a 7.5 out for 10. I feel it needs to improve the seats and the useable space for luggage. I also wish it had was an ALL4 light to tell you when the rear wheels where being activated. You get a light to tell you when the DSC kicks in, why not a light to tell you when the rear wheels are being activated? Also, the biggest thing I haven’t yet mentioned is the rear seating. For a family vehicle the four bucket seats work well, but with friends we needed that fifth seat. Once we arrived in Marquette and met up with some extra people, we couldn’t really use the Countryman because we always had five people. MINI needs to get the rear bench seat to market in the US as fast as possible.
