Looked at several cars over the last month, Golf GTi 5dr (very nice), Volvo XC60, 5dr 1 series and new A class but have settled on a Countryman.
Sarah preferred the high er up driving position and after the baby is born she will be using it more than me.
Also got a far better deal on it than any of the other cars.
A chap I know from the mini cooper sport 500 club is a salesman at Wollaston mini so the whole deal has been done over the phone and he gave me a significantly better trade in price than both Eastern and Vardy were offering on a Countryman.
I have gone for an Ex Mini UK car on a 12 plate so there was a big big saving from new list price.
Get the car on Monday so will post up pics at some point but spec is
Cooper SD Countryman
Crystal Silver with body coloured roof and mirrors
Chili Pack
Media Pack
Elec fold exterior mirrors
Chrome line exterior
Chrome line interior
Piano black dash and down tubes and door ellipse trims
Sun protection glass
Interior world carbon black
Colour line carbon black
Cloth leather parallel pure red
TLC
Would have liked an All4 version but this one was a good deal and within budget and to be honest I never got stuck with my hatch last year with winter tyres so will just get a set of winter tyres for this car as well.
