Mini Cooper Clubman S/JCW - Stronger & Firmer

Sports car athleticism and sassy styling are earmarks if the Mini brand. It comes equipped with a 189-hp 2.0-liter turbo four, six speed manual. Front wheel drive is par for the course. A quick shifting eight-speed automatic and all wheel drive are optional. The new model is remarkably characterized by quick handling and civilized ride. The chic interior includes sporty bucket seats and snappy ambient lighting. A JCW model with 228 hp lands in late 2016.

In early 2016, Mini has launched a model of Clubman which was crafted to do everything. The Cooper S Clubman ALL4 comes standard with BMW’s 2.0 liter turbocharged manual alongside an eight speed automatic transmission. It’s like to be more interesting on road. It seems Mini would not compromise with the cliched go-kart-like feeling of its tinier models.

The drive-mode selector points out the general material quality in his wonderful wagon, which fails to satisfy some experts. The Clubman’s interior falls short of expectation. Toggle switches protected by cheesy hooks are sploshed across the lower dashboard. The central display and the instruments in front of the driver offers a sea of snappy shapes. For some strange reasons, the indicator has got green lights rather than the common red or orange. According to the test drivers, the low-mileage seemed to have been well assembled, with none of the noise and judders found other recent Minis.

It is always a joyous experience to row through the gears to squeeze the performance. However, it is not Getrag’s finest. The problem is when you want it to act quickly, it might not follow your wishes, observe Mini Cooper service experts. By all odds, it is an average effort in a car that performs on sporting pretensions. Those who will be able to manage their own heel-and-toe downshifts may find the wagon performance patronizing.

While the Cooper S Clubman All 4 goes about the business, it does not surpass at anything by enough margin over the substitutes to make a persuasive case for its premium price. It fell short of expectations, while other cheaper and lighter front wheel-drive Cooper gave an improved driving experience.

Overall the car looks impressive. For regular servicing and repairing, take it to the nearby Mini Cooper repair Greensboro service centers.
