MINI Clubman JCW 2500 Mile Review - The Perfect MINI Daily Driver?

[@jl449]

I own a 2022 Clubman JCW. I also have a 2020 Countryman JCW. I like the countryman but never fell in love with it. The clubman I'm in love! I will be doing some mods for sure. My previous car was a Ford focus RS, which was a blast. I do miss the RS. But the Club brought back that feeling. It's no RS but I get a smile on my face when I drive it and it's by far way more comfortable! Can't wait to try it on the snowy mountain roads.

I have a 22 same color inside and out except black roof. My wife and I did a 5000 mile road trip last summer in it. It was a great companion and made short work of RV's in the way. Only issue was bugs in the radiator, which, after driving in the rain, start to smell like bad fish. Very difficult to clean out. I haven't yet found a mesh screen to put over the front for travel.

I have several cars including a Tesla Model 3 performance and my 2020 Clubman JCW is by far my favorite. I did all the mods you mentioned including a catless downpipe, an ecu tune by Mariocart and a K&N filter the car is a beast and a blast to drive!

[@jeffpaczynski4822]

Like the mods and looking forward to what else you do. I got my JCW (rebel green and red roof) delivered in November. Located in NW subs of Chicago. Spent some maintenance $ at that Land Rover dealer in the past.😢😢

I LOVE MINE! I can't get enough lol and I am coming from a 2015 M5. I had a chance to get the green, but I went with the nanuq white with the red multitone roof. I can't stop modifying this car. Throttle booster is a must!! I love what you have done to yours. Enjoy

[@MotoringFile]

That throttle booster - we'd love to hear more about that. What did you get and how do you like it?

[@EvOLuT1oN]

@MotoringFile I went with the APR Throttle Booster. It is plug and play. It comes with a little controller that u can mount anywhere, and it also has an app that u can customize the settings then Just use the controller to select which mode u want. The throttle lag on the car was driving me crazy. This definitely helps, but to get rid of it completely would require a tune that im not ready to do while the car is still under warranty, lol. I LOVE THIS CAR, lol. The mod list is ENDLESS, especially if u get a little creative. I didn't even know there was a rear sway bar. That is definitely going on the list.

I love mine as well - 2023 JCW in Melting Silver III with a red multi-tone roof. I've kept from making many changes - simply enjoying surprising folks that don't know what it is...

[@EvOLuT1oN]

@Scotty_in_Ohio NICE color combo! I definitely understand. I debadged mine. The offset of the club man badge on the rear doors bugged me lol. Now I get asked about it ALOT more than before.

Love the video and congratulations on getting one of the last custom ordered Clubman’s! Back when I purchased my X2 M35i, I was cross shopping the Clubman S and Cooper JCW. Both of those cars were and still are phenomenal. Reason I choose the X2 over those was because at the time they had a hefty discount on the X2 and I was basically paying the same monthly to that of a Clubman. It’s sad to see the Clubman go as it’s an awesome wagon. I hope at some point they bring it back to the lineup!

I have a ‘22 JCW F54, had it 6 months and am loving its extra oomph and practicality over the F56 I had previously. No mods as yet.

[@signpost5596]

A rare and beautiful ride you got. 👍

[@StealthyCharger]

I WISH my 17 F60 had paddle shifters! My R60 had them and it made the automatic experience so much better! If I could find a way to retrofit some I would

[@dqkneely9803]

The new counrtryman has me in a cholkhold. Its such a lovely car, apparently in a numbers game the clubman is actually bigger than the countryman by a few inches (which in the car world is ALOT)

[@stu1944]

I love mine got it 2weeks ago, would love to add an eventuri intake to unlock those 15-20hp more

[@valiantone395]

Just get a drop in air filter from AEM or Green filter or ITG or BMC all are high quality and filter well enough don't get Sprint it filters worse than oiled K&N

[@eklektikTechno]

I own a 2018 Golf R now and this would be a nice replacement if I ever decide to trade for something else

[@W33K3NDMU51C]

Love the sunglasses!

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Really hard to choose if I like my '23 F54 JCW or my '24 F56 JCW - they're different for sure but if I had to only have one it would be the F54 JCW - the only thing that keeps me from driving the heck out of it 24/7 is the fact that you can't get them anymore and I have ZERO confidence that MINI will have something with the same "edge" and refinement as this car anytime in the future - to say this will be a sought after classic would be an understatement.

[@seachangeseachange]

The F66 JCW will be better than the F56 JCW, especially regarding the chassis

[@Primeiro_ultimo]

i have one R55 clubman diesel engine and one R56 JCW!! Greetings from Portugal

[@holeechit1054]

hi, could you please share which rear sway bar u managed to upgrade to? been trying to upgrade the front & rear handling but unable to find much product for clubman jcw especially the sway bar or anti roll bar. much appreciated if anyone managed to share it as well.

[@MiniManAu]
