There are various links out for the test drive in Portugal of Marcus Gronholm taking the steering wheel including this one (http://www.rallybuzz.com/gronholm-to-test-for-mini/)
I'm sure it'll get a decent run to see how it's set up

I think they should get Stoney to test drive it.

Looks promising! Think it just sounds like the rest of the modern rally cars to be honest!

Not bad, but my old modded R53 sounded much better!

True - pretty non-descript - just a noise :yawn:

Was just thinking the front end's a bit low for a forest stage...then half of it disappeared.

Hope they sort out something a bit better for the front grill, looks a bit rough.

Should be good to see how it compares to the rest of the field though.

:thumbs up:

MINI USA had a huge shindig in Austin, TX and flew us out to learn and drive the Countryman. I went with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised. It feels just like a MINI. It only has an extra 300-400lbs and a stiffer suspension makes up for it.
