Pick of the Litter

...Totally fun to drive even with Auto Tranny. Much more comfortable ride than regular Mini.
Ride is best with 16"or smaller rims. Beautiful design grows on you alot with time.
Was delivered with broken speaker that dealer has not been able to fix in 4 visits.
Sunroof malfunctions sometimes. Alot of road noise on the highway.
Radio controls are a joke. But I love this car beyond reason.
Can hold lots of stuff but still fits in tight parking spaces in the city here in downtown Chicago. Even with little defects it's still worth it...

Love It

...The vehicle looks great and is solid! Great acceleration and braking, more like driving my motorcycle than a car.
Very fun to drive, but sturdily built to still provide a strong sense of safety. Never had an issue with the car, replaced the tires at 40k. Too much fun and great for commuting...

Cooper Clubman

...Clubamn is an excellent drive. Use for business, wanted regular Mini S but tools would not fit.
Clubman gives plenty of room. Great mileage, even with super unleaded.
Drive 400+ miles on a tank of gas. Hard to stuff more than 12 gallons when empty. Fun to drive, have to be careful not to get too fast, ride is so smooth that speed can get away from you...

Weeeeeee!

...Most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a vehicle!
This car is tight, quiet, and does whatever I ask of it and asks for more.
Turns like it's on rails. My wife called me when driving it for the first time, and asked how to turn on the cruise control, because she was doing 90 MPH and didn't realize it.
I'm outstandingly pleased with my purchase...

Mini Cooper Clubman S

...A lot of fun to drive is the only word that needs to be written about this car, and the Clubman edition adds more seating space in the back and greater luggage space.
the car can be redesigned by changing mirrors or stickers hence it can look different with minimum work. Great acceleration, enough top speed, low fuel consumption. What more do you need?...

It's Small...it's Fast...it's A Racing Machine!!!

...Four wheels. Horsepower numbers you can count on your fingers. One gear. Simply awesome in the turns, if a little unforgiving on the bumps...

Why should I also consider these?

The 2008 MINI Cooper S Clubman is not a car that's easily classified.

Even though the Clubman is small, it's not a garden-variety subcompact like a Ford Focus or a Toyota Corolla.

And because the Cooper S Clubman has a backseat and room for cargo, it's not a pure sportscar like a Mazda RX-8.

Experts from TheCarConnection.com recommend these "other choices" for the 2008 MINI Cooper S Clubman because they offer practicality in a high-performance package.

The excellent MazdaSpeed3 is truly anonymous next to the MINI Cooper, but it performs better.

The Chevrolet HHR SS and Dodge Caliber SRT4 are two competent high-performance versions of otherwise pedestrian domestic cars, but they offer capable versatility with impressive power and handling.

The A3 is another out-of-class MINI competitor, though with a few options, a Cooper S Clubman will quickly be in Audi pricing territory.

 
2009 Audi A3
The 2009 Audi A3 is more than a spruced-up VW hatchback, thanks to the fabulous interior, S-tronic transmission, and V-6 bark.
 
2008 Dodge Caliber
The Caliber has a very practical layout and quite a few innovative features to get excited about, but it's lacking in driving enjoyment or refinement--even compared to its low-priced competition.
