Just bought an 08 clubman and I absolutely love almost everything about it. One problem I've noticed is the front windshield height seems a little low. Even though I have the seat as low as it will go, I have to hunch down when I'm at a stop
light so I can see it, especially when I'm the front car. Are the front windshields on the clubman the same height as the regular Minis? Does anyone else notice this?

 

Yep, it's a standard Mini windshield. The effect is not so much that the windshield top is low (try a Roadster or Coupé for that) but that the retro styling puts the windshield more upright than any modern car, so the top edge of it is much further away from the driver than we are used to, and that means there is a limited upward angle of visibility, for example at lights. It's just something to get used to.

 

Some people like to install this:

I highly recommend the Light In Sight.
