2010 BMW Mini Clubman John Cooper Works 1.6 turbo

Summary:

If you've never driven a MINI, go test drive one today!

Faults:

Coolant temperature sensor went bad, but it was replaced under warranty for free. I was in and out of the dealer in minutes with a loaner, and then again later with my own car.

General Comments:

It's a very peppy little car. Coming from a tuned A4, I did not think I would be very happy with a FWD smaller car; I was wrong. The car is very fun to drive, and even when driving spiritedly, I am getting 32MPG. I am very happy with the purchase and the car as a whole.

Pros:

It handles like a go kart (goes where you want when you want).

Suspension is very stiff.

Fuel efficient and fast (very hard to get both).

Fun to drive.

Nice place to be in.

Cons:

The seats can be uncomfortable after long rides, because of no lumbar support on the basic sports seats.

Suspension may be too stiff for some.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
