Poor MINIs. No snow tires, no motoring.

All 4 makes short work of the snow. No hesitation, no drama, all very confident inspiring. Feel the front tires start to slip, immediately feel the rear tires compensate, and go about your day. I've driven these cars in Texas up and down dirt paths, up hills, down hills, you know- all the stuff you more than likely wil never encounter. Now after driving in the snow, it's clear this MINI has its place. That's to fulfill your motor craving with days like this. I suppose being able to carry a family with no comfort issues is a plus too. That and making ALL their faces turn purple when you deiced to zip down the back road!


Now how about some glamor shots for the triumphant snow king.

I need to test-drive one of those!
Don't know whether I'd ever trade my JCW Coupe for one, but it's a thought.

Man I wish the regular MCS came in 4WD or RWD. I'm not fond of the new look or the size.

I also wish they offered the option. An all wheel drive option like in the Countryman would be awesome. I don't think you would lose the "feel" of the MINI and it would add all the utility plenty of US consumers yearn for. Sounds like a win, win, win to me.
