Motor Trend writer Nate Martinez had the opportunity to drive the MINI Paceman concept and comes away with this feeling:
During our prototype drive we were surprised at how well the Paceman carried its relatively hefty mass around Malaga's tight bends. It's not as nimble as the base Mini, and the car we drove had an emissions testing calibration that restricted its performance, but the Paceman still invigorated the senses and enticed a smile. That bodes well for this seventh edition, but until we take delivery of one at MT HQ, we'll have to wait and see if this niche-filler does indeed fill the mini-est of voids.
