When I went back there for the first oil change at 1,000 miles, it was finally gone. The salesman said they sold it for almost US$7000 off the MSRP. Some lady bought it for her 16-year-old high school kid who just got his driver's license.  My first thought was: "need a time machine to go back in time and convince my parents not to get me that new Honda Civic Wagon when I was in high school because the only person liked it was Kathy..." ( (Kathy was my first girlfriend in high school and my parents like her more than me... always telling her "wish we had a daughter like you, instead of a son" and they really meant it. because after high school, we kind of broke up, yet my parents continued to hang out and even went on vacation with her, without me, while I was away at college) 
(it's this one below... yes, I am that old ) |
I had a first gen X2 as a loaner once. For its size and specs and mediocre interior, there's no way I'd be able to bring myself to own one over a Mini Countryman.
