    I had a new clutch installed at 10K miles on my 2011 JCW Clubman. Was squealing badly taking off in 1st gear. No issues since, and now have 27K miles.

    If you want "Just Another Car" then Mini may not be the one for you. If you are curious why we love our Mini here on this Forum (Mini Country) then you need to drive one.

    There is nothing like it! affordable, fun, exotic, additive, iconic.

    Good luck finding the right MINI and have fun test drive it. If you are still on the fence then Lease one for a short term.
