Every time I hear about someone's Clubman S, a bit of doubt creeps into my choice to go with a "regular old" Clubman. They just sound so awesome.
Still, with the extras I wanted, my wife would have kicked me out of the house for the premium of a Clubman S AND I realize that all MINIs drive with a helluva lot more spirit than the crummy cars that I am used to.
I just ordered a clubman "non-S" intentionally. After test driving both, I found that I preferred the acceleration response without the turbo, it's more linear. The turbo has too much delayed response for me.
