Hello everyone. My first MINI - San Jose

I picked up a used 2008 Clubman recently and I am pretty happy with my purchase! The Mini was not even on my radar until my wife suggested I check them out. I had been driving a 1990 Civic wagon and I was looking for something similar in size. The Clubman is a bit smaller but it has really worked out.

Welcome Tom! I'm also in San Jose, new to this forum and a first time MINI owner. I love the dual sunroof! I wish the F56 had that! Cool color combo too!

Congrats on the new Clubman , looks like a mellow yellow. Very rare in the Clubman version.

I had one of those Civic wagons and loved it. Your Mini might be smaller that the Civic's interior, but the Civic never handled like a Mini. That's a great looking color on your Mini. Make sure you keep the tires aired up to spec. That will allow great handling and good MPG. Your tires will also last longer.
