Countryman touring comfort?

[bikingbets]

Hi all,

I'm considering a Countryman ALL4 for my next purchase (probably within a year pending rear bench arrival in USA). My question for current owners has to do with long ride comfort.

How comfortable is your Countryman when touring, say, 300-mile or more driving days?

Thanks for any help you can give!

You'll have no trouble with a CM on a long trip, I drove my Clubman on a 5700km trip last year, my CM is a much more comfortable car then the Clubman.

I wouldn't waste my time getting the bench seat, if I could have bought the individual seats I would have (they weren't an option in Norway when I ordered mine), the bench seat is near useless, it will only fit 3 children across the back or if they are adults they better be really really small.

Thanks for the reply...does the road noise get to you after a while?

No, I have music on most of the time so don't notice it.
