How to Buy a Mini Clubman S Automatic

The Mini Cooper S has been a popular car since it was re-introduced by BMW in 2002. In 2008 a new model was introduced called the Mini Cooper Clubman S. The chief differences from the original Cooper are more room in the back passenger and trunk areas, a club door on the passenger side of the car, double rear doors that swing out, and a slightly different profile. Despite those differences, the Clubman still offers the same handling, speed and fuel efficiency that has made the Mini Cooper popular. Like the Cooper, the Mini Cooper Clubman S is available with either a manual or an automatic transmission.
