“Let’s Motor”
Cooper S
The classic MINI Cooper S is one of the most fun cars you can get, and for a great price. Grab one with a manual and the balance of refinement and sportiness is exceptional. Just watch the options list, as this little car can get expensive very quickly.
Countryman S All4
The Countryman seems like it shouldn’t be good, as it’s an SUV from a manufacturer called “MINI.” However, MINI was able to inject a good dose of fun into this fun-sized SUV. One of the few AWD cars with a manual transmission left, this car is perfect for auto enthusiasts up North.
Clubman S All4
If you can handle the strange rear door situation, the Clubman is the wagon version of the Countryman, with a price cut of $500.
