My wife and I are looking into trading in the M roadster and our Jeep for a Countryman S. Well... to be fair we're debating between the countryman and the clubman S. Either way we're looking at a stick (though the auto with the paddles is really, really fun too).

All that said the Countryman is SUV-ish though it is a mini (and certainly drives like one!). Since we don't allow SUV's and since I don't know where this one is classified, I thought I'd ask the powers that be on this.

On a brighter note: My wife will now be autocrossing. I'll be DD'ing the IS250 (might autocross that one myself) and she'll be DD'ing the mini (whichever flavor we get).
