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

You learn a lot about a car when you daily it. That's exactly what I've done for the past three months and 2,500 miles. We've also modded it, lowering the car and tweaking the chassis for even more go-kart feel. But does our new MINI Clubman live up to the hype and what's it like to actually live with it.

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

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

@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...

@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.

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)

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

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.

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

Recently purchased Cravenspeed’s Big Pair chassis brace for my F54 but have yet to install it. The OEM steel brace towards the rear has a fuel tank shield. Did yours have this too? I’m a bit concerned on putting the Cravenspeed because a portion of the fuel tank will be exposed? Wondering if this was a concern to you as well. Other than that, I love my Clubman All4 S. Always puts a smile on my face whenever I get behind the wheel.
