Not accidentally we try MINI Cooper S Paceman on the island. Precisely because we were fortunate to capture the beauty of Bali bandage coupled with a unique figure Paceman equally exotic. The encounter was done when we attend the MINI Hopping 2013 in Bali mid-November.
Paceman give a charm of its own compared to other models such as the MINI Coupe, Cabrio, or Countryman. With more big and muscular body like a crossover, but the figure still gives the impression of masculine front that is characteristic of MINI. The most attention of the Paceman is designed horizontal rear lights, which was first used by MINI product.
Although it has three doors, the Paceman is designed as a vehicle for four passengers. A pair of sport style seating in the front and two rear seat passengers, but the dimensions of the rear seats occupied it seems only fit children. Interestingly when the trunk lid is opened, the Paceman has enough free space to store the goods. Under normal conditions, the trunk can hold 330 liters, and can reach 1,080 liters when the rear seat backrest is folded.
Perjalananan in Bali starting from Jimbaran to the hills in Uluwatu. Paceman riding quite enjoyable thanks to the high seating position makes foresight more spacious. As a result, driving Paceman packed with 1598 cc engine with turbocharger becomes increasingly unpleasant.
Peak torque of 240 Nm which is channeled through steptronic automatic transmission 6-speed front wheel to make the MINI Paceman is claimed to accelerate to a speed of 0-100 kph in just 7.8 seconds. Remarkably, the responsive acceleration in the engine speed can be quite low in the range of 2,000 rpm. We believe, with the peak power that reaches 184 hp, a maximum speed of 212 kph can be easily achieved on the freeway.
Mini Paceman
Paceman showed agility as it passes through hilly terrain in Uluwatu. MacPherson strut suspension at the front axle and multi-link rear wheels to provide control mantab, coupled with support for features such as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The steering system fitted Electric Power Steering Servotronic gives the sensation like a go-kart while driving.

Even more exciting again when riding Paceman is the Dynamic Music feature, with a variety of musical selections that have been pinned in the head unit. Traveling by Paceman be more fun because this feature to adjust the rhythm of the music sung by the way we drive. If the gas pedal deeper and more speed increases, the tempo of the music by itself will go up. Vice versa. The audio system on the Paceman is a concoction Harman / Kardon Hi-Fi.
Not just high-quality audio system, Paceman comes with supporting features with other luxuries such as a layer of skin on the interior and a panoramic roof and device safety standard front and side airbags. Now, the Paceman even have had variant concoction of John Cooper Works (JCW) for the sensation of driving a more adrenaline drain. As with other MINI.
