Gonna monitor Max's satisfaction with his, but I may go Mini instead of next year for a company vehicle
If I do a wrap I will likely go a little more colorful than the Mini that's pictured
So far so good, but only about 500 miles in.... the only thing you’d give up with the mini is rear seat/trunk space, it’s better than a gti in every other way imo. R gets more
Tricky, as minis don’t come with awd.
Full disclosure I haven't driven one, but the last gen with 228hp was deemed a lot softer and heavier than the pure minis.
This chassis is surprisingly heavy, even the tiny 2 door is 2850 lbs, which is how much a much larger golf weighs, and an enormously larger civic weighs.
Countryman JCW is a whopping 3700lbs, which is bound to make it way slower, and WAY less fun to drive.
I like the Clubman, especially the R55, but isn’t the Mini-ness essentially gone with a Countryman?
Always been a bit about them.
Ordered a vent pod and boost tap this week as I’m going Fast and Furious. Turns out most boost gauges here are 52mm (2-1/16”) and my pod is for a 60mm gauge.
Autometer doesn’t even make 60mm ones.

That doesn’t look bad. My wheels have really thick spokes, they are like thickest spokes short of a monoblock. This is a nice change
I think chunky wheels suit your car's beefed up styling though. For example the more I look at these thin spokes wheels on your car the more I'm not sure about them.

Any recommendations?
do you care about boost gayge ?
Simply as a way of making sure the fragile N18 isn’t about to blow up.
Ideally I should get something to monitor oil pressure too.

Whoa that’s literally my car... those are a bit too thin
