We are considering a 2015 or 16 Paceman. Presently renting a 2011 Cooper. Not pleased with the ergonomics of the window and climate controls. Travel cups get in the way of these controls.
I read that there are different interior configurations including "Rally, Classic, and Scene." Alas, I can find no info about these. Do these designations apply to the control setup. Is there even a way to address these shortcomings? We love the way the rental handles, tho it's auto. We would only buy a stick. And, since we live in upstate NY, all wheel drive is preferred.
I am sure there are other things to consider, and would welcome any insight.

 

I think the Mini ALL4 is the one for you guys. I'm not sure that the Paceman is AWD. Good luck in choosing. I'm sure whichever one you pick will be a blast to drive.
