Just purchased a 2013 Clubman

So after not having a mini for a few years I recently purchased a pepper White 2013 Clubman Base.




I'm not a total novice when it comes to these cars. But this being my first Clubman I was just curious if there is anything I should know up front about them or if it's going to be about the same as my previous 06 hatchback. So any tips, tricks, or advice would be appreciated.

I can't give you any input as I just bought my first MINI as well. A 2013 Clubman. Love it so far. Love the color of yours

Overall, should be about the same. Keep the lower latch on the 'third door' lubricated, as well as the latch on the 'barn door'. That's about it.

Enjoy having a mini MINI that's as much fun, but can hold your stuff.

Congrats

Just same maint like your 06. Oil change every 5k, and premium fuel, then enjoy.
