Used 2008 MINI Cooper Clubman S 3dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Sold it and am enjoying a Toyota instead.
A Great Idea Undone By Miserable Reliability. Timing chain, expansion tank, turbo oil cooling lines, oil filter housing leaks, to name but a few heavy offenses. Poor resale is another whack.

I LOVED this car!
GREAT for getting around town,, slipping into tight parking spaces, ease of loading items, and much more.

Love the Clubman S
I went from my fun 2003 Cooper S to what feels like a luxury car! Hot chocolate with heated leather seats and wood finishes. It is so beautiful inside I just want to drive around all day. The extra room in the back is great and the rear barn doors get a lot of attention. This car is fully loaded and I get so many people stopping me it is incredible. I've been getting 26 mpg in Los Angeles traffic. (I have an automatic and prefer to drive in sport mode.) If I was a more conservative driver the mpg would be higher.
Clubman S Lot of Fun
I traded in my 06 Mini Cooper S for a Clubman S because I had a baby. Now the whole family can ride in the car together even with a rear facing car seat. The car is a lot of fun to drive. Great on handling. Also getting 29mpg can't beat that. No compliants at all. Best car I have owned.
Emperor's new clothes
Wow - feel like I'm dealing with the emperor's new clothes here. I do not like this car at all. Special ordered it from England, waited months and am incredibly disappointed. Sure, it handles nice but it's incredibly noisy (run flats), obnoxiously bouncy, shifter throw is excessive, build quality seems pretty awful - less than 1000 miles and driver's window is stuck down, rear doors misaligned on delivery, tire pressue warning stuck on, side scuttle emblems fallen off, finish on $750 extra wheels pitted and corroding; cup holders awkward & too small, interior storage awkward. Info center controls unneccessarily complicated. I really wanted to like this little car.
