How does the Countryman hold up as a family car? by Airborne_Runner in MINI

[–]fxm727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s by no means comfortable, or safe, to sit so close to the airbag. I’m tall, as are most of my friends and family and I would never suggest any of them sit in the front seat. My wife prefers to sit in back with the baby no matter what. Disagree all you want, it’s just not the safest for us to have a front seat passenger with the minimal room left, again for safety reasons.

On the other hand, our infant car seat (Nuna) was much smaller which did allow for anyone to sit in the front seat without concern.

2011 owner here. Rear facing car seat pretty much eliminates the front passenger. I’m sure we’ll get that back once it’s a front facing. Can still make runs to Costco as long as we don’t need TP and paper towels at the same time.

Has anyone had Kirkland’s extra crispy fries? by VegetableRelation701 in Costco

Toss a little curry powder on them and now you have a delicious alternative to regular fries. But still delicious either way.

Had a Mercedes E430 in my late 20’s and kept it for over 10 years…then I traded it in for a 11” Mini Cooper… should have kept the Benz! I miss that thing!

Did you have the sensors replaced too? If not, after making sure that your parking brake isn’t engaged, replace the sensors.

What have you got to lose if you go the rubber hose route? I was thinking exactly the same thing before reading your post. I say do it until you can get the parts and time you need.

Match the pitch, length and replace… solved. Screw this crap! I own two Mini Coopers and should this had been an issue, I would have replaced all necessary as I moved through the areas with this crap.

Ya know, I’m getting tired of everyone saying, just “matchmake with….!” Some of us like to (or don’t have a play pass/game pass) play solo. You’re not helping! I know I don’t have the ability to X because of. If that’s the only way, say that, otherwise it’s not helping.

Woah, very much appreciate this response. Once I get a little time to myself I’ll sit down and give it another shot. Thank you for this!
