2018 Clubman

2018 MINI Clubman Cooper S 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

The 2018 Clubman handles more mini-like than my previous 2015 Countryman did. Not quite like our 2013 Mini 2 door but it’s not far off. The ride is vastly better than any Mini I have owned. The interior is great, and the little 3 cylinder turbo is surprisingly good due to its torque. I definitely miss the brute power of the 4 cylinder turbo in my Countryman S, but the Clubman with the 3 cylinder doesn’t give you any torque steer problems you get in the S Models. It’s actually better on fuel than the expected ratings, I see slightly over 34 mpg routinely and that’s at FL highway speeds aka Fast... The only negative compared to the Countryman is that the rear seat is stationary, it doesn’t slide back back forth to give extra leg room and has no recline adjustment. That said it really doesn’t need the slide option since rear led room is pretty impressive for a small car, but the reclining option would be nice. It’s a great little car that does a lot of things well.

The 2018 JCW Mini Clubman, is the only car everyone in our family fights over to drive. Simply put -- British charm wrapped in some serious German engineering. Drive quality and power -- this is an ideal daily commuter for anything from getting milk to 200 mi IH10 run from San Antonio to Houston. JCW has all the power, and engine output is never harsh or strained. Steering is precise. Comfort -- the interior design is deceptively large. Great headroom, excellent backseat space, and plenty of trunk space. Mini and BMW used quality materials throughout and after 3+ years every fitting was as tight as the day of the purchase. In conclusion, JCW Clubman is an absolute gem; hands-down it beats any BMW X2, X3, or Audi that are thousands more expensive...

Before you purchase a Mini Cooper, You need to know that underneath the quirky exterior of the new Mini's is a BMW! They are also not cheap cars. They are compact upscale small cars. They are extremely fun to drive, they are quick, and very nimble!

Trends in Leased Vehicles

2019 MINI Clubman Cooper S ALL4 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I've been leasing cars for the last 15+ years and it seems as though the manufacturers are equipping cars with components that require replacement within the initial lease period. I previously leased a Mercedes Benz GLK 350 and needed to replace tires after just 25K miles. My current lease is with a Mini Cooper Clubman S All-4 and it has 23K miles and needs front brakes rotors and wear sensors (estimated at $800+ at the dealer). In addition, it seems as though i'll need tires shortly to make it to the end of my lease. Quite possibly, i'm a sceptic, but it seems as thought the manufactures are equipping new vehicles with substandard performing parts and tires leaving the initial lease holder with significant financial responsibilities before the conclusion of the lease period. One of the reasons I lease is to AVOID these types of expenses. I've owned multiple vehicles over the years that were 4+ years old and had 40K+ miles before needing tires, and at no time did I require brakes. Seems like a negative trend ...

New model=worse model

The Clubman was redesigned for 2016. If you look around the miniusa website you'll have a hard time finding anything relating to fuel efficiency while it was very proudly displayed among the info for the previous model. It's a nice car, but one of the few perks it actually had was fuel efficiency. Now it's got a new engine(3 cylinder!) and the MPG is humorously bad. It gets 23 mpg in the city which is on par with some large sport utility vehicles but it's still a tiny car by comparison. We've had three MINI's so I'm not a MINI basher. We previously had a Clubman that got 32 mpg on the same to work routes the new Clubman gets 23 mpg. What automaker does that?? In sum, you can get far more for far less money with lots of other vehicles. The only benefits is that it looks different and you can find your car in a parking lot. We have a ALL4 base model which is not listed among the choices here.
