If you want cheap, go buy a chevy cobalt and remain unimpressed and uninspired the rest of your driving days.

You've never gone to get in your car and found another parked too close behind?

"For 23g it can't be beat."
"If you opt for the automatic transmission...this one is an ace"
"The car retains all of the nimbleness of its smaller sibling"
"the Clubman S moves along with authority out of proportion to its size"
"the Clubman S is a premium car, not an economy car, and you get what you pay for"

Can we chill a little, get past the source, and actually read the article? The guy clearly liked it, he just points out the few things that make it a car that's not for everyone.

i didnt see it as a "bad" review. in all, ide say he liked the car but just pointed out a few things of possible concern to a potential buyer.
And at 33K it is a little hi for a "niche market" car.
but for the price no other car can come close to the driving experience of a mini.

If your worried about sticker price, maybe you should stick to domestic cars

And yes, it was a little silly to park bumper to bumper and try to open the rear doors.

Reviewers should specify that you can get one for as little at 20k and as much as 50k (or more). I'd venture to guess that most are selling for under 30k, and that very few folks are going over that 30k mark.
