2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 - Enter the Automatic
2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 - Four Seasons Update - June 2012 - Automobile Magazine
Is the automatic the solution to the problem of the undersized clutch and the 1.6-liter's turbo lag?

"Give this car a nice automatic or a DSG," suggested senior online editor Phil Floraday at the start of our Mini's penultimate month in our hands, "and it might be enough to get me to look past the car's styling and its weird interior." Your wish, Mr. Floraday, is granted -- at least in the sense that an automatic-equipped Mini Countryman arrived in the office just days later. Is the automatic the solution to the problem of the undersized clutch and the 1.6-liter's turbo lag, which combine to make driving around town "a real pain in the a**," to quote Phil once again?

First Drive: 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo - Automobile Magazine
Higher power, higher expectations.

The standard, 138-hp Hyundai Veloster overpromises and underdelivers. Its tame, unexceptional dynamics contrast with the wild styling and the curious three-door package. Yet even as we abandoned our hope for a Korean revelation during our first drive of that car last October, we remained optimistic that Hyundai would take a mulligan with the upcoming turbocharged model.
