Okay, I shut off DSC while I was stuck in traffic on a hill today. The hill-hold feature still worked. So even though it may be part of DSC, it can't be turned off... not that anyone would want to turn it off.

I guess it works differently on the Clubman than the Cooper. On my MCS, I would have no hill assist once the DSC is defeated. BTW, hill assist will work in reverse as well; i.e. if you're backing up on a slope, the hill assist will prevent your car from rolling forward during the first 3 seconds after you release the brake.

OK One more Cool Feature......
I just became aware that if you release the Steering column lever the Steering column not only raises and lowers, it telescopes in/out also.
Way cool feature.

They are jealous, I have a co-worker that always talked about how he was a SCCA racer in his mazda rx7 and how he loves small fast cars. I get the Clubman and offer him an opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience a great small car. He shrugs and says "no thanks", and then when I tell him I get about 39 mpg he says his BMW gets 60mpg (motorcycle)! He is always one up..now its all about his motorcycle..no time for even looking at the mini.
Ask your buddy how his motorcycle handles in 5 inches of snow.
