Now that you have had the Clubman for a few months - how are you liking it - and what would you change it you had it to do over...

This is a very good vehicle, as are all Mini models. While this is my wife's car (which she loves) I still prefer the classic Mini Coopper S (meaning not the wagon). I do not like the rear plit window. I prefer the flip up on the Mini. It creates more work when you have your hands full, and the seam leaves a blind spot right in the middle of the rear window.

I also do not like the new rear end, and the color scheme it demands. I prefer the "aquarium" feel of the Mini better. It makes it look like the roof if "floating" above the body of the car.

My pick is the manual, Mini Cooper S JCW model, in black or charcoal grey.
