I'm in Québec, QC, Canada and am looking to replace my 2011 Clubman S this summer.
I have reduced my list to a fully-equipped VW GTI 2015 or a fully-equipped F56 MCS. Pricing is about the same once all options are added.
What will probably make the difference is the way all infotainment and electronic features work (I love gadgets!). It's very difficult to find reliable information on how the features work as the salesmen don't know a lot about them and info on the web is very difficult to find.
I have test-driven both cars and while they're different (of course), I like the way they handle and I wouldn't mind driving either of them. That's why electronic gadgets will probably make the difference in the end.
If anyone here in Canada has a F56 with some of the electronic features, I would love to talk to you on the phone. Just drop me a PM if you're interested in sharing some info with a fellow MINI owner. I can speak French or English.
Thank you!
Christian
