    The Clubman is an awesome car. I just got my new custom spec 2020 JCW and I'm lovin it.😎Yes it 'seems' overpriced for a MINI, but when you actually compare it to its primary competitors, the Clubman JCW offers a lot, even for high 40s. 300hp AWD with loads of features and tech, very accommodating interior space, unique hatchback-ish wagon design, and the ability to option it out with racing stripes and accented roof/mirrors in a color of your choice. It really carves out its own class and redefines what a pocket-rocket can be. Coming from an Audi S4 I never thought I would buy a MINI. It was never even on my radar because of the previous lack of power. But with the new beast of an engine, I bought in and don't regret it for a minute. Really enjoying the Clubman. Thanks for the great video review, Joe. Btw fun fact... I actually had spec'd out my Clubman and placed the deposit on the same day you posted this video! 🤙

    My wife has a two door mini with close to 200bhp and this thing is so much fun to drive that I want one too. The only thing is that I do want 4wd and the clubman offers that and the 300 ponies... yeah baby, I want it! I was checking the ski today, but it seams I go the mini way... it has that appeal and scores high on the cool and fun factor, and has the practicality to it too... specially that most of us do not throw it side ways in corners...

    • @transilvaniak8485
      @transilvaniak8485 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was looking at the Yaris rn, that has the fun factor but scores really low on the cool factor, and the cheap stickers on it, decrease the cool factor, not add to it... what a shame, mini excels with the cool colours and got just right the fun and the cool factors. I am no bmw fan at all, kind of bothers me the people the brand attracted, but the mini... a hole different story.

    Thank you so much! My wife is a Mini fanatic (especially the Clubman) and she LOVES your reviews. I think I might be able to talk her into trading in her 2017 Clubman S All4 for this 2020 JCW Clubman. Then we can do some canyon runs, her in her Mini and me in my 2018 Subaru STi.

    You have to REALLY love mini's to pay $47k for this considering you have some really nice options at that price point. The lack of a manual though just KILLS the fun factor in a car that is supposed to be all about fun. I really hope enthusiast's not only refuse to buy car's like this with no manual option, but let these automakers know why, because i'm seeing more and more now the most powerful versions of cars having no manual option... and to me that's just not ok.
