Hello

New member and new Mini owner. I just purchased a 2008 Cooper Clubman S.

I came from a MOPAR (Dodge Magnum R/T) .i reached a limit in the modding of that car and felt it was time for something different and smaller. After a few days I can say I love the Mini. It's peppy and gets great mileage and I fit my kids and back with ease.

My biggest question/concern is what should I expect from the clutch with the 6 speed manual? I have read that it may not make it past 30,000 miles. I drive pretty easily and don't really rag the shifting. Should I have gotten a automatic?

Thanks and look foward to finding out more info and checking out mods.
