Representatives of the company called the new compact sports car class Activity Activity Coupe, playing in the premium segment. At the same time, they disengage from the crossover roots of the most powerful version, with the John Cooper Works nameplate. Indeed, the ground clearance of a car with a proprietary tuning package was reduced by 10 mm - to 124 mm. What a terrain! The suspension was instilled in sports habits by installing hard springs, shock absorbers with modified characteristics and a reinforced anti-roll bar. To pacify violent temper entrusted to larger brake discs (diameter 307 mm front, 296 mm rear) and all-wheel drive system. The latter connects the rear axle via a multi-plate clutch mounted on a suspension subframe. All so that the driver enjoys communicating with the most groovy 1.6-liter supercharged engine in the lineup. By the way, the same is with the Mini-Country JCW (ЗР, 2013, No. 2).

This engine, the fruit of cooperation between BMW and the Peugeot Citroen group, added 34 hp. regarding the unit operating under the hood of the most powerful standard “Paisman” in the Cooper S version. Power gains were achieved using an increased performance turbocharger and a lightweight crankshaft. The piston group was strengthened, the diameter of the valves in the block head was increased.
Appearance "Paysman" - a mixture of a stylish three-door hatch with a crossover. It reminds you of a tastefully dressed girl: it seems like nothing screaming, and you look after it! Charisma makes us treat this model in a special way, which is why it is not very good to criticize some decisions. Let's say hard plastic is inside. But what a design! Spit on the quality of the material - is it really that boring?
In the center of the front panel there is a huge informational “saucer” with ears of ventilation deflectors. On-board color displays data on the computer, navigation, audio settings

The driver's seat backrest lock is on the right, under the reliable cover of the armrest box. In other cars, I would not like it, but here I am looking for a pen - as if I are solving a riddle. And childishly happy when I find. And what is the “color music” of the cabin, automatically changing five shades! Beauty!
I wake up the engine with the button and press the lever of the manual gearbox with force. At some point, he resists, but then gives in. Damn, this is the back! Thank you, "Mini", I remembered my youth! Strange: there is no catch under the Paceman handle. It is possible to determine what the reverse turned on only by an unusually large resistance. But if you switch smoothly, there will be no problems.

An alternative to mechanics is a 6-speed automatic. With it, fuel consumption and car price increase, but the dynamics do not deteriorate.
Leaving the city, I touch the toggle switch with the inscription Sport. The steering wheel is filled with effort, the reaction to the gas pedal escalates, and when braking, I hear the exhaust system shooting almost in a racing way.
Instead of a sofa - two separate armchairs. Each can be folded by increasing the boot volume to 1080 liters

The car is beautiful on the German autobahn! On the unlimited site "Mini" just gets on the road. At a speedometer of 210 km / h, and the cabin is quiet, even the whistle from the mirrors is not audible. The car has excellent stability, sharp reactions to the gas pedal. Suspension, adjusted for sporty character, remains comfortable. But this is in a country where they treat the roads with paternal love.
German "chemists" can be congratulated! Having mixed different classes of machines, they got a real explosive mixture in a stylish bottle. "Paysman" combines the charm of a three-door hatchback and the explosive nature of a tuning car. But the fee for an individual is considerable: from 1 750 000 rubles.
The trunk is smaller than in Countryman, but a pair of large suitcases and a backpack fit
