Ask tubby; when I asked what this car was like when I was considering it, he summed it up pretty well

They're supposed to be really torquey ad, quite reasonable fuel return too from what I've read in various magazines. You should get an Evo ad you know you want to

The Mini Cooper Clubman D is quite nippy for its engine size. It is comfortable and has a lot of room in the back, with the rear seats folded down. It is particularly good round corners in the wet or dry, and it does at least 45 MPG. Very nice six speed gearbox too.

Ive only done just under 2k since the beginning of may but its been reliable up to now and the guy I bought it off said he had no problems too.so for fuel consumption I averaged 39mpg comming bk from devon(250 miles) with a boot full of luggage a fat gf in the passanger seat and the air con on which is pretty good I thought.I run it on momentum btw.

The old MPS was in the highest tax bracket. Not somthing I would be looking at considering its retail value. The new one looks good, but Im not a fan of that botoxed grin at the front.
