#23 of 118 Re: Clubman Info Leaked [newdl] by stevecebu Jul 31, 2007 (11:04 am)
Replying to: newdl (Jul 31, 2007 6:51 am) How about the real issue at hand? EDMUNDS leaked info on the Clubman before they agreed to do so. I would suggest you (readers) get your MINI info from another source since I would assume MINI will now wait to release information to EDMUNDS until everyone else has received and posted their information.   Oh please! This happens all the time. You think Motor Trend, Car & Driver and a bunch of other mags never release info before they should. Lots of info for them to wade through every month and sometimes it's a legitimate screwup and that just happens. These guys are writers they are not not building stuff for NASA. If i had a $1 for everytime a car magazine released info a few days off, I'd be filthy rich. Yes sometimes it's on purpose but often times it's all those conflicting deadlines. Mini relies on their magazines so they won't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. They might yell at them or put them last in the lineup but in the end most of this info was released 2 months before you read it. It's called lead time and ALL magazines have it. TV shows might need 3-4 months lead time or longer. Don't get angry and don't worry, it's not like Mini websites will not have info including Edmunds. Unlike the Mini dealerships which are spread out far too thin and no new dealerships on the way.
#24 of 118 Clubman on Mini website by spyderone Nov 20, 2007 (10:58 pm)
The clubman is on www.miniusa.com and you can build it to your own specs. The pricing wasn't as bad as I thought. They have changed some of the packages and the cost on the packages have gone up (mostly $100 / package). Have fun!!!

#27 of 118 Full Tests? by sabastian Jan 13, 2008 (11:33 am)
Has anyone seen any full tests of the Clubman? All of the reviews I've seen so far are from the first drive event in Madrid.
#28 of 118 Clubman is like the old Traveler ... a great car! by minicarfan Jan 14, 2008 (4:52 pm)
The Clubman is in the mini tradition. I lived in England in the early 70's and drove a used Mini that was based on the "Traveler" model which is very similiar to the new Clubman being discussed. The model I had was a "Traveler" without the side windows, no back seat, and the same dual back doors as the new Clubman. It was a Mini in delivery van form. The one I bought was an old used British Post Office delivery van. (paid USD $350.00) It ran great the whole time I had it, it handled like a sports car, I loved driving it, a lot of fun. It had great interior space, great gas milage, a extremely well designed car. I am sure the new Clubman version and the today's Mini will both be just as fun to drive, I don't think the Clubman will detract in any way. And for those who need a little extra space it will let them join the pleasures of the Mini world.

Replying to: pjo1966 (Jul 28, 2007 7:27 am) I test drove and then ordered a Clubman today. The rear door configuration does create a vertical blind spot in the rearview mirror, but it didn't think it was that big a deal. The two split rear windows are fairly small, so it's not exactly a panoramic view to the rear, with or without the vertical split. It may be a bit of form over function (like the giant pie-pan speedometer), but the doors do create a fairly large and easy to access opening when opened (for a MINI, this is no panel van). I also think they're cool, which is the whole point of many things MINI.

The ugliest rear end ever put on a car
#32 of 118 Test drive last night by kyfdx HOST Mar 01, 2008 (7:11 am)
My local MINI dealer had a debut party for the Clubman last night... Catered.. (if it's free, it's for me!).   Test drives were short, as there were a lot of people there, but we got to go by ourselves.. I don't have a lot of experience driving MINIs, so I can't really say whether it is better or worse.. But, I loved it..   I test drove an S-model.. I always thought the S would be the only one for me... but, after my test drive last night, I think I would go for the base Cooper... The car accelerated so quickly, that by the time I got out of first gear, I was exceeding the speed limit.. I think I could have a lot more fun with the base model, around town.   It was a blast! I don't love the out-of-proportion looks of the Clubman, or the $2K increase in price.. but, I can appreciate the extra room..   regards, kyfdx visiting host Replies to this message: jaxs1 (Mar 01, 2008 7:59 am) kyfdx (Mar 01, 2008 8:03 am)
