THE MINI PACEMAN - This Is One of the Rarest MINI's you can Find

I wish Mini would try again. The Countryman is such a great car. A modern 2door JCW Paceman would probably sell much better today.

I was at BMW dealer to get my 3rd BMW in a row “an M235i” when I saw a White on Black fully loaded paceman rolling into the showroom. It was like Love at first sight. Couldn’t resist not taking it home that very same day. 5 years later, this thing has been coping with me through my outdoors activities specially my trips to practice backcountry skiing. It’s so practical in winter fir it’s all wheel drive capabilities and it’s so unique style wise. I never held to a car for more than 5 years but the paceman will never leave my garage.

[@karentaylorsmells]

Dude, have just bought a black with white stripes one today and hello, both my husband and I saw it and we were like SHAZAAAAM…. Bought it an hour later. We are just so in love with this purchase… just OMG all around.. so excited !

[@dalesheehan2546]

My wife has one. She won’t let go of it and she won’t exchange it for another model. Mini should never have stopped making it and it would have been ideal for all electric in my view.

Bought mine last year August (exact same model/specs/year/color as the one you tested, except mine has more "goodies") and I've never been more happy with a car in my life, the thing is a hoot to drive on Ohio's back roads and it didnt even have 40000 miles on it so I'm going to enjoy it for quite a few years yet:)

[@niemiradave5047]

@@Skysdalimit247 I wanted a car that had AWD, under 45k miles, and under $10k. After a lot of negotiating i was able to get my Paceman down to the price I wanted. If it was a Countryman I would have bought that. I went for what was available on the market. But, I really do like the 2 doors better than 4, also the sloping roof line that the Paceman has is a better look in my opinion. My daughter (5 yo) has no trouble getting in the back in her car seat. It is actually easier to strap her in than in my wife's SUV because I can get in front of her to tighten the straps than have to stand beside her. Sorry for the long answer, short answer is that i didn't consider a Countryman because I didn't fine one.

[@Skysdalimit247]

@@niemiradave5047 Thanks Dave this is really helpful. I think I found one (finally worth) buying. They want $13k (negotiated it down a bit) for 38k miles for a Cooper S AWD, with a Navigation system ( no sun roof though), but has a 2year warranty still with Mini Cooper in place. Wondering if that is. decent price. Thoughts? :) cc. @TheMINIac

[@niemiradave5047]

@@Skysdalimit247 I wish I could tell you if it is a good price. I am not well versed in pricing cars. I used KBB.com and the NADA price guides for my specific model and features. I found those tools to be great. The NADA one consistently had higher prices I found. Mine was a 2013 All4 S and 39k miles, cold weather package, duel moon roof, and no navigation. I had a mechanic look at mine before I bought it, and he gave me the ok. KBB had the fair purchase price at about $11,400, I got it for $9,900, but this was in the heart of the pandemic shutdown also. Good luck, let me know how it goes.

[@zenpool1]

I have a lot more options than this one (a 2015 purchased with 42,000 m). The nav takes the spot of the large speedometer that moves to behind the right steering wheel slot . This car is family for life ;-)

If mini decided to make a countryman GP they better get rid of the rear doors, it would be a nod to the mini market as a the paceman revival. I had one as a loaner vehicle years ago , it was a 2013 in Blue. Very nice car. Blends both the fun of the Mini Cooper hardtop with suv feel of the countryman. One day I hope to do a review on one

[@richardrrubio]

Just purchased a 2014 MCS Paceman this week. Chili Red and Black..Low Miles and Clean..for $10,000 I previously leased a 2015 MCS Paceman. But I traded in for a 2018 MCS Countryman..since my lease ends soon. Liked the Countryman..but not a Paceman.. Looking forward to putting some miles on my Paceman..which I will share with my 2007 MCS Convertible.

[@Skysdalimit247]

Btw @The MINIac I found another Paceman this week with "Cooper RPT"on the back. Do you happen to know what that means? I can't find the proper definition anywhere.

[@MrShuntking]

Noticed a major difference on the interior between the 2013 and this 2014 shown in the video. I recently bought a 2013 Paceman. My console runs all the way back to between the 2 back seats with the cup holders sitting above the 2 back seats. With that it came with LEDs built in that light up when you go to enter or leave the vehicle. Part of I guess what they call the welcome package. I really enjoy driving this car. And often find myself taking the longer route to get to where I am going just to get a little extra drive time in. The one major drawback and this isn't a big deal but more of a preference. I don't need or want that giant speedometer in the middle. I am trying to find an after market stereo head unit to replace the factory one...and this speedometer is making that all but impossible.

@@Skysdalimit247 I got it because I wanted the smallest all wheel drive mini for the snow. I would have gotten a 2door S. That being said, I'm currently in a loaner 2020 countryman S and it's so much more bulky and unfun compared to my paceman. I might end up checking out the Clubman S all4 or a 4door S and see how the 2020's ride. That is if I do need the extra space for our kid I'm expecting in 4weeks. Hopefully the 2020 clubman S all4 and cooper S ride better than this marshmallow that is the countryman.

[@Skysdalimit247]

@@danielschwarz8711 Thank you so much for your feedback (this was helpful). I finally got a chance to drive a Paceman S, and have to say I didn't love it as much as I did the Countryman, but enjoyed it's agility so I am still in search of one. But I will say, I get what you mean regarding the Countryman, as the reason I didn't move forward with purchasing that car is it felt too bulky to drive, and that scared me (considering this would be my first car purchase and I live in NY). Unfortunately, I had to walk away from a Paceman I found last week, because the used car dealer jacked up the price with $5K of fees that had nothing to do with the car itself. In the mean time I will just keep looking for a Paceman within a decent price range. Congrats on the baby btw -- How Exciting! :)
