Mike Floyd of
Motor Trend for the sixth time updates the review of Motor Trend's long term 2011 MINI Cooper S Countryman tester. Floyd brings along photographer Melissa Spiering. Spiering loves the vehicle but, after a long Arizona road trip, Spiering gripes about the side-view mirrors being placed too far down on the door for her tastes since the bottom of the passenger side mirror can be cut off depending on driver height and seating position. Floyd provides this "
bottom line":
The biggest Mini can haul the mail, and haul butt at the same time. Despite what the purists may say, the Countryman is a car Mini had to do, and by all accounts, they've done it pretty well.
