2013 Mini Countryman Review

Mini’s Countryman was a revolutionary vehicle when it debuted-although, kind of like the revolution in Michigan that now allows us to legally buy the fireworks we’ve been buying illegally for years, this revolution was small. The appearance of the biggest Mini ever was of little consequence to anybody, except for the people who wanted bigger Minis. Following first contact, our advice to those people might have been best summed up as: “Proceed with caution.” The turbo 1.6-liter four was peppy and the steering quick, but the suspension was a bit wobbly and the body shell seemed flimsy. Still, Minis typically make a lot of friends in our office, so we ordered one up for a long-term test.

Following a lengthy ordering process (you try to use Mini’s online configurator and not get carried away or drawn down countless tangents), our Cosmic Blue Metallic Countryman arrived in March 2011. Our time together quickly reinforced our initial impression: The Countryman is fun.

2013 Nissan Sylphy Review

Nissan unveiled its Chinese-market Sylphy at the Beijing auto show. Normally, we don’t pay much attention to Chinese-market cars, but this Sylphy is our first look at Nissan’s new compact sedan, meaning it’s pretty much the Sentra we’re scheduled to get this summer. Nissan unveiled its Chinese-market Sylphy at the Beijing auto show. Normally, we don’t pay much attention to Chinese-market cars, but this Sylphy is our first look at Nissan’s new compact sedan, meaning it’s pretty much the Sentra we’re scheduled to get this summer.

A new 1.8-liter four, mated to a next-gen Xtronic continuously variable transmission, powers the new global car. The centerpiece of this new engine is an emphasis on improved fuel economy, as is the norm in the ultra-competitive compact segment. A longer stroke and variable valve timing promise to improve combustion efficiency, while new internal coatings aim to minimize friction and inertial losses. If we end up getting the 1.8 here, it will mean downsizing from the current car’s 2.0-liter, which is in line with what Nissan has done with the Versa.
