But I love this thing. Allegedly six inches of ground clearance, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (I guess I’ll put it in because people remain shocked I put down Canadian prices when I live in Canada) . Nowhere near my worst idea, but I bet parts availability sucks in Pinehouse.

Oh, absolutely. But this would be much better suited (when it works) for the area I live in.

I’d like a bit more ground clearance and thicker sidewalls.

Driver’s seat looks mighty worn for that mileage. I’m guessing this car did a lot of city driving. I wouldn’t count the low mileage as a plus.

I drove a 2015 one of these in my car search and it felt worn for the low-ish miles; and a little more rattly Than I think is acceptable. It felt worse for wear than the 2 year older and 40k more mile BMW X1 I bought by a good margin. Also the countryman felt bigger than it is on paper From the drivers seat .
I’m a fan of minis but the countryman was just so/so for me.

Where are you going to get that serviced? But sure probably more fun tha n a feista and then less fun then more as it continues to break.

As a former FiST driver who now lives on a road that made owning it in the winter and mud season a Bad Idea: The lack of a manual is sad, but the Hyundai Kona Limited (1.6t AWD) is a truly surprisingly entertaining drive, with excellent rough road manners. I don’t know if your budget is that high, but I genuinely don’t hate driving my small, AWD, turbo, K orean CUV. Hyundai did good work on the Kona.
