Used 2011 MINI Cooper Clubman Hatchback Consumer Reviews
2011 clubman, 85,000
The car is really fun to drive, i have the manual turbo and it moves. great handling. sucks in the snow. i keep the rear seats down and put a floor-mat over it for my two goldens. I'm 6'1", 250 and have plenty of room in the front two seats, a lot tighter in the rear.
Excels at many things
I've owned the car for a week now - ~350 miles. Achieved 29.5 mpg on the first tank, in mixed city/highway driving (a good bit of idling in traffic), and the current tank is at 36 mpg for highway and some errands. Great power, even though I'm still breaking it in, and the steering is immediate. Good steering feel, too, the car magazines are wrong on that count. Great stereo (Harmon Kardon/Sirius XM), and very comfortable driving position (I'm 6'1", 230lbs.). I'm going to keep my Lexus LS, but probably drive this a whole lot more.

Love it!
We ordered our 2011 Chili Red Clubman S with black roof Labor Day weekend, and picked it up from the dealer just one month later. After 20+ years of station wagons and minivans, my wife is in love with her new baby, and I have to admit I'm jealous. We got the manual trans, which shifts like butter. This car is super fun to drive, takes off like a rocket, and is a real head-turner. I highly recommend the experience.
Mini with Major Problems
What a POS, always said before do not buy a BMW, Audi, VW etc because repair costs are so high. This is perfect example. Had a 2011 with 90K miles, great looking car, fast, but scary fast at times, hit a bump at high rate of speed the car jumps into other lane almost. This one started to smoke once in a while and then Oil pressure light kept popping on & off and no one could say why for sure. So we tried this & that but light always came back. Also alternator went out so had to be towed, $1000 imported alternator, then water pump cracked as well at the same time. Dumped this car ASAP.... mechanic told me they are only good up to say 100K miles and then they start to go, I now believe him. Stay with a Japanese car, at least they last, and hold their value better that this BMW/Cooper did. Only had it for almost 4 full mos and spent well over 2K trying to keep it running, good thing they are so cheap to buy, now we know why.
