For it's size the MPG isn't that great.
Not very progressive of the MINI folks , not giving us biodiesel.
They're acting like the GM folks.
I looked at the Clubman. It's cute.
I'm buying the VW Tiguan for 30,0000 when it comes out in DIESEL. It will Tow about 2200, is small and gets about 30mpg.

I made a "typo" Tiguan Diesel will get closer to 40mpg

A loaded up Tiguan gasoline model is $35K-$37K.. Good luck finding the diesel for $30K....
I think if you check MPG vs. curb weight, you'll find that the MINI is pretty darn efficient...

Correct. Many people don't realize that the Mini is small, but not light.

Hey again Still trying to deal in Fl. for the Clubman S They will only give us $250.00 off msrp & mats. I suspect they are adding the $250.00 on to the dealer fee which they say is $599.95. My husband likes the extra power the S gives the car. Would like to order but have time to wait & see what they or Richmond Va will do, as we go there often

I sure do hope that BMW sells the 09's with the Brake Regeneration System. I believe the entire line-up in Europe has this standard and should add another 1-2 MPG to the EPA fuel consumption numbers. Of course my pie-in-the-sky wish is for the Clubman D to make its way over here but BMW has already said no.

I was told by the dealer in Scottsdale, Arizona that the wait for a Clubman is 3 months. They had no Clubmans in stock and all that were on order are sold. I think that the difference may due to each dealership having a monthly allotment. Can someone confirm if this is the case?
