About This 2017 MINI Clubman Cooper S

The Clubman is MINI's most grown-up model — longer, wider, and more versatile than the classic hatchback, yet still unmistakably MINI. The Cooper S trim takes everything up a notch with a turbocharged engine, sport-tuned suspension, and a character that rewards drivers who actually want to engage with the road. At 42,422 miles, this example sits well within the range where the mechanical and cosmetic condition of a well-maintained MINI is typically excellent. You're getting a car that still has decades of driving life ahead of it, without paying new-car prices.

Stock number E5050200 is ready to view at You First Autos. Whether you're commuting through Costa Mesa, cruising Pacific Coast Highway, or carving through canyon roads on the weekend, this Clubman Cooper S fits the lifestyle perfectly.

2017 MINI Clubman Cooper S Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine — the same basic architecture MINI shares with BMW — producing 189 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque in Cooper S trim. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, this is the combination enthusiast buyers dream about. The manual gearbox gives you full control over power delivery, making every on-ramp, canyon corner, and city block genuinely fun.

Front-wheel drive keeps things predictable and composed in daily driving, while the turbocharged engine delivers strong pull from low RPMs — meaning you don't have to work the gearbox hard to keep pace with traffic. The 0-60 time of around 6.5 seconds is respectable, but the real story is how the car feels in motion. Linear throttle response, a precise clutch, and a slick six-speed shift pattern make the Cooper S a genuinely involving drive in a way that few cars at this price point can match.

MINI Clubman Features and Interior

Cooper S Trim Highlights

The Cooper S trim over the base Clubman brings sportier exterior badging, a more aggressive bumper design, and a driving experience tuned for the enthusiast. Inside, MINI's cabin design is unlike anything else on the market — the round central display, toggle switches, and ambient lighting create a space that feels distinctive and fun without sacrificing usability.

Space and Practicality

One of the most compelling things about the Clubman over a standard MINI is the usable interior space. The split rear barn doors open wide, cargo capacity is genuinely competitive with small SUVs, and rear passengers have real legroom. This is a MINI you can take on a road trip, not just a commute. Expect standard features across the 2017 Cooper S lineup to include sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a color touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and dual-zone climate control depending on options fitted.

MINI Clubman Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 MINI Clubman Cooper S benefits from a generation of refinement that made significant improvements over earlier MINI products. The B48 turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is widely regarded as one of BMW Group's most durable modern powerplants, and the six-speed manual transmission is known for its longevity when maintained properly. At 42,422 miles, this car is barely broken in by European standards.

Owners of this generation Clubman consistently report satisfaction with long-distance comfort, fuel economy in the 28-32 MPG range on the highway, and the reliability of the core mechanical systems. As with any European vehicle, staying current with oil changes using the correct specification oil, checking coolant hoses, and servicing the brakes on schedule makes a substantial difference in long-term ownership cost. A pre-purchase inspection is always worthwhile, and the clean VIN on this example — WMWLN9C32H2E50502 — is a great starting point for pulling a full vehicle history report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 MINI Clubman Cooper S a good buy?

Yes — the 2017 Clubman Cooper S is widely considered one of the best versions of the modern Clubman. The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is more refined and more reliable than the older 1.6-liter units found in earlier MINIs, and the six-speed manual makes it one of the most driver-focused cars available in its price range on the used market.

How many miles is too many for a used MINI Clubman?

A well-maintained MINI Clubman Cooper S with a full service history can comfortably reach 150,000 miles or more. At 42,422 miles, this example is well under the threshold most buyers consider mid-life, making it an excellent value purchase with plenty of life remaining.

What does the Cooper S trim include over the base Cooper?

The Cooper S adds the more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine (vs. the base 1.5-liter three-cylinder), sportier styling cues inside and out, a sport-tuned suspension, and unique Cooper S badging. It's the performance-oriented step-up trim and is significantly more engaging to drive than the base model.

Is a manual transmission MINI hard to find?

Increasingly, yes. As the industry moves toward automatics, manual-transmission MINIs are becoming harder to source on the used market — especially in clean, low-mileage condition. If the manual gearbox is important to you, this is the kind of listing you move on quickly.

Does this MINI Clubman have a clean title?

You'll want to run the VIN — WMWLN9C32H2E50502 — through a vehicle history service like Carfax or AutoCheck to confirm title status and accident history. You First Autos encourages buyers to do their due diligence and can assist you with pulling a report.
