Its noisy, the seats could be better, the bluetooth suck, the usb ports are awful. The hand free phone system is unreliable at best. Pure and simple! T it has other flaws and the run flat tires are brutal. Switch the tires and ignore the rest of the sortcomings This car is F U N to drive. You just have to avoid Mini service off warranty . It’s is awful and terribly expensive. I have owned about 20 cars in my life . I have never kept a car more then 4 years. My mini is 10 years old and still going strong. One safety issue of note that mini doesn’t seem to acknowledge. My rear doors come open on their own from time to time. The car can be parked over night, just starting up or driving down the road at 100kms. It doesn’t happen very often but ...

Only a Few Surprises -- Good and Bad

I love my MINI. It's a blast to drive. I'm getting about 32 MPG with the auto. transmission in mostly country road-type driving. Good surprise: We fit 3 adults, a teenager, a goalie hockey bag and five medium-sized grocery bags in the car for a one-day round trip, 3 hours each way, & it was comfortable, even in back, and rear visibility wasn't blocked! The car is very well engineered but had some minor defects when delivered (not a surprise), which are still being fixed after 5 weeks (a surprise). The biggest surprise is that the car is a fantastic highway cruiser! It's amazingly stable at high speeds. You don't feel the speed, so you need to be very careful that you don't go 90 in a 55!

I LOVE MY MINI

I bought mine brand new and I have 145000 miles on it. I take mine to C&H auto in Spokane.I have a fully loaded 6 speed manual and LOVE IT. I have had to pay for repairs like any other car ( my Dodge mini van was in the shop more) . I get my oil changed regularly and keep my car up.I spend far less a year on any "repairs"than II would have paying a car payment. I did spend 1200$ for repairs last year.I will need new tires (approx $550)I still love my car and LOVE I don't have a car payment..I will drive it till it dies! By the way the description in the details isn't correct it is a "3 door with "barn" doors in the back not a hatchback. Oh and I average in town driving about 36 mpg and highway around 42 depending on my driving.I love the great gas mileage it gets and how fun it is to drive.

The kids are driving themselves and the family minivan was getting old. When gas hit $4/gal I wanted to drive something with better gas mileage. We have a Camry Hybrid which is fuel efficent and boring. I wanted something more fun and the Prius wasn't going to cut it. Once I drove the Clubman I decided it had the size I needed and the fuel mileage and fun factor I wanted. I'm getting 36 mpg overall and 42 on the highway. Probably should of bought the "S" model but I wanted gas mileage. I had I known gas would be cheap again I would of bought the "S" Model.

Wow! What car can you get with BMW fun, BMW luxury, nimble size, and super gas economy (30mpg mixed driving), all in one, for under $30K? Trade in a fully loaded '04 Accord, and got a fully loaded (minus GPS) MINI Clubman. It has a vintage, classy look, and is fun to drive. Also feel very safe in the car... in control, connected to the road, and solid. Can park anywhere. Love the paddle shifters, provides power when needed.
