Have you ever thought about buying a Mini Cooper and decided against it because, well, they’re too mini? Now that no longer has to be a problem.

The company have launched a new massive Mini, the Mini Countryman, a five-door, spacious, version of its (smaller) big brother, that even comes in a 4×4 model. At almost twice the size of the original, the Countryman aims to appeal to those who like the ethos of the Mini, but have lives too big to fit in it- lives involving family, hobbies and longer-than-average legs.

Some of the car’s many features include a built-in sunglasses case, iPhone connection and a multimedia display giving you access to thousands of digital radio stations, Twitter and Facebook. It allows you to stay feeling young and hip with the kids still screaming in the back seat. To summarize, the Countryman is aimed at those who think they are cool enough for a Mini, but are, in actual fact, not. (via BBC)
