Check out one with the HUD. It's a neat feature. I opted not to get it because I wear polarized sunglasses and that makes the HUD useless to me during the day.

The base stereo is not great. The Harmon Kardon is an improvement but still not as good as other vehicles. If you like your tunes get the Harmon Kardon unit.

I am generally against moon roofs. They remove body rigidity and add weight. Also then tend to rattle and squeak as the car ages.

I can HIGHLY recommend the LED headlights. They are fantastic.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

 

Lee are you loosing you mind or just reading skills?

He said above “ I have a 2005 R52 S that is my week-end plaything.”

 

Countryman and Clubman I believe.

 

Can you get the new Clubman without All4?

 

yes

 

I think that would be the one to get. It should get better mileage, without all the weight and drag of the extra machinery driving the other two wheels, not to mention all the the other parts to break.

 

If you find a Clubman sitting on a dealer lot that you like, you should be able to negotiate a good deal. Clubman are not selling in the US — down almost 43% YTD.

You can get the DDC in all models, but All4 is only on Clubman and Countryman.

 

If you want a tight sporty feel and handing get the sport suspension. Otherwise get the regular. The DDC is an expensive compromise without any real benefit.
