Most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a vehicle! This car is tight, quiet, and does whatever I ask of it and asks for more. Turns like it's on rails. My wife called me when driving it for the first time, and asked how to turn on the cruise control, because she was doing 90 MPH and didn't realize it. I'm outstandingly pleased with my purchase.
Must be a lemon

This one must be a lemon based on what others are saying here (strange, 'cause on the MINI forums others report the same problems as we've had). 44K miles and we're on our 3rd clutch. And yes, we both know how to drive a clutch. Our other manuals haven't needed one yet. The plastic thermostat housing cracked and BMW was out of stock for weeks on end (new inventory system screwup). Never spent $800 to replace a thermostat before - that's crazy. The back passenger door has sticking issues from day one. Then it stuck open!! Thus making the car unusable. Time chain tensioner broke. Car has > $10,000 in repairs so far, plus the normal maintenance costs. That's simply unacceptable.

I've had pickups of various sizes and even really enjoyed the Toyota FJ, but when I was putting a tank of fuel a day through it, I had to make a change. With the flat rear deck, I can get two dog kennels gear and hunting buddy in it, and hunt all day on peanuts. The ground clearance, ride and slippery conditions limit its access, but it sure is great to get around in. Actually got a 1000kms to a tank once.

The steering is direct, suspension is stiff, road and engine noise is evident in the cabin, not a smooth ride -- absolutely the best car I have ever driven! I went from a Pathfinder to a Mercedes C to a Clubman and it does not dissapoint. It comfortably fits a car seat for my daughter at the back with one other person. It handles snow really well in Toronto even with stock run-flats. Road feel is great just the way a performance car should be. If you don't want road/engine noise and want a soft ride, go get a camry. But if you want a reasonably priced, fun-to-drive, dare I say it, practical car, the Clubman's for you.

Love everything about the car from the inside-out. Pickup on steep hills could be better. Navigation is great and looks so much nicer than the standard speedometer and the back-up camera for me was a must. The upgraded stereo system sounds great. Felt the sunroofs weren't dark enough so I bought 4 tinted window spots from Axist (2 in front & 2 in rear) and now they're tinted the way I like them, from a person who suffers from skin cancer.
