Y'know, the Countryman and Paceman have actually have a positive effect on me... they've made me realize that the regular BMW Mini is actually a VERY decently-sized little car... yes, it's nowhere near as tiny as its inspiration, but it's still small, and is still a damn fine car.
Even compared to an original Mini, I don't have a problem with its size anymore... the Countryman and Paceman just make the regular BMW Mini look good in comparison.
