Wait until the new Clubman comes out, it will have a larger boot than the CM and more space inside, plus it'll be built on the UKL platform and will be a better car than the CM.
The F56 drives rings around a CM, so the Clubman should also be a blast to drive.

Aren't you always whinging on about the CM not being a real MINI due to it's size, the Clubman,(which I like BTW) will be even bigger than the current CM, and yes it may well be better but it probably should be since it will be re-designed
Don't feed the trolls.

It won't have the dynamic failings of a quasi SUV pretending to offer MINI levels handling and fun factor, I think it will be a brilliant vehicle and will point MINI back in the right direction, hopefully next time MINI offers an SUV they won't make a hash of it like they did with the CM.

As of January 2014, in the USA, the CM has sold more units in its 4 years of existence than the clubman has in its 6 years. Also, since the CM was introduced, sales of the clubman have DECLINED by 23%, 18.4%, 15.7% and 10.6% each year respectively. Oh, and worldwide MINI sales have INCREASED since the CM was introduced by 8.1%, 21.7%, 5.2% and 1.2% respectively, with 2013 being it's most successful year in history.

Yes... Total hash. Do your research, guy. The "fun factor" is a matter of opinion. But these are facts:

FYI I've never said the CM is a bad car, I've only ever said it's a bad MINI.

wow, BEE1, you are definitely unique, and that's what owning a Mini is all about.

What size tires did you out on? How's the ride? Did you put a lift kit to fit them? I like the look. Contemplating on doing that to mine.
