Stef it seems as though since you got the 4C you have a refreshed enthuisiasm, your passion for automobiles comes across stronger then ever. One of the many things I look forward to when your videos come out!!

Pete's reaction to the acceleration in this video was one of the most convincing points for me. And now I can attest to the fact that he was not exaggerating. 331 lb ft torque + AWD in a MINI is bananas. The new Clubman is a BEAST! 🦍

Most underrated car, I have a mini club man and love it.

Great review.. waiting now for mine to be built . Have a 2017 Clubman All4 S now. Getting this without even a test drive. Anxious to say the least. You both put a smile on my face. When mine gets here to California I will surprise a few folks I'm sure.

The best mini I've seen Lads 👍🏻 great video again Stef & thanks for showing us 😀

About time we had a decent review of this car, well done🤗 As a matter of fact I ordered one a few weeks ago. Same colour combo, same wheels, but I’ve gone for the black leather seats. I’m on my third Mini, currently driving a 3 year old (from new) JCW Hatch. I tried a cooper S clubman some time ago, but then I heard this was coming out and I had to get one😜😜😜 Should arrive in about 2-3 weeks, and I can’t wait - it’ll be quicker than my 3 door JCW hatch! Hell, you only live once eh? Such fun😊😊😊

Was lucky enough to drive a couple of these a few weeks ago. My reaction to the launch control was pretty similar to PPs... except I sat with my mouth open before I started the giggling. Thought I'd miss a manual box, but not at all, and enjoyed using the paddles. The original F54 JCW was 4wd only, and the F60 is 2 or 4wd.

Guys great review thanks! I've owned one of these since September 1st... and so far every mile has been a smile. Just a quick question / observation - you mention the noise a lot, and its so cool in sport mode, but did you really boot it in green mode too? OMG. It goes all two-tone, IMHO even better than sport mode. Just saying...😁

The 19inch are a two tone wheel... The one you drove was the black 18inch with standard tyre.. or an option black 18inch with run flat tyres. The 19inch has a lower profile tyre... That's why i asked the question.

Very nice 👌🤪

Love the new clubman! But 1 the fake sound pumped in through the speakers and 2 the Petrol particulate filter deaden the noise! 😤 SNM but apart from that a great car! Would deffo replace my F56 cooper s for one 👍

@vxjtx2632

F56 cooper S and JCW have the fake sound too! One small speaker in the back that you can disable by pulling the fuse out or coding, it is not coming from all the speakers. Nothing new! But yes, i agree with OPF, due to bad regulations in europe it kills the nice pops and bangs when upshifting/downshifting. Of course you can remove it and remap, you know ;)

Wow, this is out already.

You know what I like about this it's the VROOOOOMMMMM and then there's the VRROOOOOOMMM and they really improved the VRROOOOM... Did I mention the seats well let me tell you the VROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM...... LMAO!!!!!

Sub 5 to 60, interesting to see how the 4WD will hold up with all that torque and 300BHP through the transfer box, a tad expensive though, BMW need to redesign the dash, the through back to the BL mini isn't working, it's just too quirky to take seriously and at this money you want serious. Rear view camera mirrors etc, I like the split rear doors but does it need that blind spot post, can it not be glass to glass,

How much of that noise is real though? I ask because in the i8 fake engine noise is played through the speakers🙈

Only issue with Minis is the reliability otherwise there great. I have a R60 JCW which is rather rare, its 5 yrs old with 35k miles and has cost over £3k in maintenance I.e clutch / flywheel /hp etc etc. Great to drive but a pain to own. I'd never buy a Mini out of warranty
