Mini Cooper BIG problems
Fast and fun car to drive around town. Very noisy on highway driving. My biggest problem is the repairs. Anything and everything that can go wrong with this car has gone wrong. Electronic shifter, rear door release went out after a car wash, thermostat, water pump, water pump discharge pipe, drive belt, seat belt module, hood latches, timing chain tensioner, valve cover gasket, vacuum seal. The crazy thing is you can find videos or instructions on how to fix all of these items yourself. That's because so many people have these problems and don't want to pay the ridiculous Mini Cooper repair costs. BMW engineer combined with British craftsmanship equals a car that breaks down a lot and costs an arm and a leg to repair.

ClubFunMan
With the non-turbo and manual 6 speed it is a fun little car in the twisties, enough umph to take the up hill curves. For us it was a grocery getter but the grocery store was 15 miles up and down country two lanes, ideal driving for this car. If you are in town, get an automatic and turbo, non turbo with auto is under-powered. If you're young and limber it is fine for road trips, if you a bit beyond middle age get something a bit bigger and easier to get in and out of.

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.
New Mini
This is my first Mini and I have really enjoyed it so far. The Clubman version offers just the right amount of extra space for me. I am an avid bowler and can easily fit two two-ball bags in the back without lowering the seats. The extra space in the rear seating area is perfect for the grand kids and occasional adult. In general the interior is comfortable but there are few quirks. I don't like the placement of the power window controls which are right in back of the cup holders. With cups in the holders you can't reach the controls. All in all a great little car with good pep and super economy: Averaging 28+ mpg in city driving.
Runs like a Deer
This vehicle is just plain fun the drive. Traded a G35 and wrongly thought I'd miss the performance. The rear, with seats down, is larger the many bigger cars trunks. There are 2 levels of storage under the floor in the rear. The barn doors are easy to use and better then a swing up door in tight places. Parking is a breeze. I now have about 4 more feet of usable space in my garage. The back seats lack leg room but are very comfortable with the front seats moved a bit forward. The roof rack system will carry just about anything I can think of and is much easier to reach then a SUV. This is a well thought out vehicle with lots to offer regardless of its size or any size.
