hello, trading in my 08 xb to get a 11 clubman for the wife, black silver roof comfortably loaded really loaded in my eyes hopefully she lets me drive it now and then

 

Nice choice.. but just a question. y do you choose the clubman over the countryman?

 

I didn't like the feel of the country man... the lines reminded me of a kia the clubman felt more mini in my opinion... Plus don't tell the wife the clubman felt like more fun for me to drive

 

was it bettter handling or something

 

better handling and overall feel, just didnt like it.. really fell inlove with the club man

 

Well I'm glad you have a mini and love it

 

Well I'm glad you have a mini and love it

I've driven those spunky Xb's. Not bad at all. However, your Clubman won't disappoint. Nice upgrade!

 

Thanks Mcs it will be my wifes primary car, she is a spirited driver, but ill be driving the coop her and there.. Pick the clubman up today from inskip glad the weather is not going to cooperate for me...

 

Congrats on the R55. I too much perfered the Clubby to the Country. I have had the car only 2 months but enjoy it more everytime i drive it.
You found a great place to learn about Minis and there is a lot of knowledge here.
