Is it constant sore back time or does the club door make at least putting one child in easier. Any comments appreciated.

Final question, from my past Mini ownership I know zero discount was the norm. Is this still the case for a Clubman. My dealer seem to have a Cooper S Clubman in stock more or less to my spec, should I expect a bit of cash off this if they have not got it sold. Thanks

Our 1 year old daughter's seat is on the passenger side & we put her in through the passenger door, find it easier that way as then adults can get in the back using the club door (when I say adults, obviously I mean 1 at a time!). It's not as easy as a 4 door but definitely easier than our old One (we used to put her in through the hatchback when she was in a rear facing seat.

If the dealer has one in stock to the spec you want, let them think it is to a higher spec than you wanted & they should offer some discount- especially if it's their launch model.
