Hi Don_C, I bought a Clubman S from Cincinnati Mini and live in Louisville. See some of my other posts. A few things:
a) For me, Cincinnati Mini is 88mi away.
b) Careful driving gets me about 33 mpg on both computer & tallied by actual fills.
c) Ambient temp makes a big difference on mpg.
d) Car is happy on 89 gas, but use 91 in the summer, for sure! It's never happy with 87 gas (note that I have the turbo).
e) Car purrs best on Shell Super. I also found that Costco Premium gas is also a good match for the car. It does NOT like Speedway or Kroeger's gas, and Thornton is OK.
f) I have no problems with the car so far, except for a bit of rear weatherstripping coming loose.

Mini Cooper Club price paid by mathew1

Hello everyone,
 
Thanks for the information and that helped me negotiate a good price. We recently purchased a Mini Club with Prem+cold+auto for $1500 off MSRP. I hope this helps others to purchase their Mini Coopers at a competitive price.
 
BTW after we bought it noticed the forums with horror stories on transmissions. I am hoping this was for the early models with CVT and not for the new models. Anyone can confirm.
 
Thanks.

What if you put in 1/2 93 octane and the other 1/2 with 89 that's what I do because Mobile does'nt have 91 octane. The car seems to run as if on 91.

91 is recommended, so that works... Sort of a pain, though...

First of all I'd get a coldweather pkg and all seasons tires. How ever what about sunroof not being insulated?
