Clubman Reliability

Hey folks

So i've been talking with Amanda from South Bay Mini - and will most likely be going in saturday for a test drive and possibly to place an order. As I read more into the threads here, however, it seems the reliability on the coopers and clubmans sucks. 4/10 on some major car sites - and it seems quite a few of you have issues with club doors, melting hood scoops, and other stuff that should not be a problem for a 30k(give or take) car.

Somebody convince me i'm doing the right thing by wanting/planning to get a clubman, and tell me I won't have these types of problems.

I don't know what else I like at the moment ,sans the bmw I series - and that has even LESS rear leg room.

This is a serious post, so help me out- tell me about your experiences with the clubman (s) and reliability, etc.

Obviously Mini takes care of the stuff before 50k miles, but what about after that? I drive a 2004 scion xb, and did not have ANY issues until my tranny died at around 90k, and that was in 2008 - seems the clubmans are having issues that need repair after 18k miles in some instances.

Thanks all for reading this. Hope to see you all at meet-n-greets soon 'n stuff.

Jeff
