With just over 16,000 miles on the odometer, the Mini's maintenance light came on, indicating that the initial service was due. Given Mini's 3-yrs/36,000-miles no-cost maintenance program, the oil change/inspection/tire rotation/cabin air filter replacement were covered for $0. Assistant Web producer Nate Martinez had the Clubman for a few days and notes, "My friends and family loved the Clubman's styling.

I found myself explaining the Clubman model philosophy numerous times, as a result." Despite its Mini name, the Clubman offers maxi room. "Over the weekend, I had puppies, people, bags, and various shopping goodies in the Clubman," says Martinez, "and its third door proved once again to be greatly useful. I say give it a fourth!"
