The Quest Continues
Picked up this new daily driver a couple weeks ago.

2015 MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL4

Engine: in-line 4 cyl. turbo w/ 187 h.p. All wheel drive (who knew?) panoramic moon roof (opens over front and rear seats). 27,600 miles. Lots of bells and whistles. Traded my 2008 Toyota Yaris sedan (original owner), which had 63,500 miles. This BMW MINI is quite a nice little car so far.

Love it! That color is gorgeous. Green is always the right choice.

I've always liked that model, more fun to drive than any "crossover" on the market.

About as big of an upgrade from a Yaris I would say!!!

Thanks for the comments. The Yaris was pretty basic. Manual windows, manual door locks, and the interior was plain, but functional. It was a well made car. No squeaks, leaks, or rattles, and I thought it looked good in black. A well balanced car. The photo shows first day of ownership. It was the right car for the time. Sad to see it go.

At any rate, the Cooper is more spicy inside, and on the exterior too I guess. Of course, it handles differently.
