I'm new to the world of MINI; I picked up a 2013 Chilli Red Clubman with 25K on the odometer from MINI of Charleston SC back in March. Since then I've put another 20K+ on my Lil Red Wagon that includes the trip from Charleston SC to Dayton OH via Deals Gap, Myrtle Beach SC via Deals Gap, Toronto Canada and Niagara Falls via Detroit, Baltimore MD and the Outer Banks NC. My Lil Red Wagon has performed flawlessly and has been in for maintenance twice so far. I have been impressed with the car and MINI's service; MINI of Cincinnati provides a valet service where they pick my car up in Dayton, leave me a loaner, service my car and deliver it to me when complete. This last time the gave me a 2016 Clubman S All4!! SWEET!! It even worked out such that I got to keep the loaner over Thanksgiving and drive it to Baltimore rather than put the miles on my car. This has been a great car owning experience so far and I look forward to keeping this model since it is the original Clubman style.
I must admit the JCW exterior and interior package as well as the MINI Connected are a big plus. Kinda wish it came with the heated folding mirrors but it was used, you get what you get!! Hoping to add an exhaust and some other go fast stuff next year. I'll need some recommendations from those who know or at least some guidance on things to consider.
I see you guys have a keen eye. Don't know that I would have discerned the JCW exterior if not side by side with a regular S originally.
Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully I will cross paths with some of you guys and girls!?
