I am looking at purchasing a 3rd car as something practical to move awkward items, my bike, and heck maybe a track day or two.
I was originally looking at buying a new GTi but got turned off by the amount of problems they have.
I never thought I would say it but I’ve started considering either a Mini Cooper 5 door or the Mini Clubman F54 and F55. The latest versions in the S use the B48 engine and I have all the BMW software so I don’t have to learn a new car platform.

They look fun to drive and the latest versions seem reliable. I would be looking at buying used.

Any recommendations on what to get: Clubman vs 5 door Cooper? Overall general thoughts and things to look for. Thanks
