I get that the DCT transmission is a quick-shifting experience when toying around. But what are your impressions with gentle neighborhood starts, traffic creep, etc? This is where DCTs have been known to clunk/shudder, and hesitate.

As a Cooper S 5 door 60 years owner with same engine/gearbox combo, this is the next car to be parked next to it at home. JCW is out of the price range and here in Australia where would you use it anyways in traffic and low speed limits compared to Europe. Great review, actually brilliant review as it's like you were at the dealer and tried these things. I bought my last car based on reviews, didn't even drive one or sit in it and it is bang on awesome! Probably do the same again with the Clubman!!

I applaud Mini staying in the game with their Mini Cooper cars rather than giving into the pressure of this stupid Truck/crossover/SUV trend. Unlike VW letting the beetle and Fiat dropping the 500. Mini keeps improving on their Coopers. They are smart because no trend in vehicles stay around for ever.

Just got mine a few days ago S with a manual transmission. It is making me a bit nuts as I expected "more" and am already trying to figure out how to get it closer to the JCW Clubman. I wish I knew someone like Lohan but in the US as I am in a quandary as to who can help me. Love the car, it just doesn't have the handling characteristics I was hoping for. As there were no JCWs and no manuals on the lot, I had to make decision by internet and really wanted the manual. Trying to look at this as a chance to learn more about how to get it where I want it (other than replacing the tires because that one is obvious). Have any suggestions as to who could help in the midwest?
