My wife has wanted a Clubman for over a year now and I decided to surprise her with a Mini Xmas present for 2011. I scheduled a test drive with Mini of South Atlanta and Jessica Heming, one of the motoring advisors spent an afternoon going over every aspect of the 2012 Mini Clubman and letting me test drive different options. I knew up front the model and color scheme, but the dealer didnt have one on the lot. Jessica worked with Jason Powenski, the motoring manager to find the exact model I wanted which was in another state and had to be re-routed. It took them a good couple of hours of hard work to get everything setup...it arrived in a couple of days, they had it prepped and paperwork processed for me upfront, so the purchase was extremely easy. Jessica also took time away from her vacation to meet with me and set me up with a lot of great extra gifts - the whole Xmas was Mini-themed - very cool...I surprised my wife by hiding the key fob in a 1:18 scale model Clubman - she was really making fun of the little model Mini, until she opened the boot doors and found the key - her words were ""Holy -Insert Expletive Here- KEYS!!!"" - This was Jessica's idea and was really fun to see happen. My experience with Mini of South Atlanta was incredible - easy going, intelligent, fun bunch of folks. I also went to Global Imports Mini in North Atlanta - I couldn't deal with these guys - they wouldn't even talk with me and had a really uptight attitude - very uncool. This pepper white Clubman S is just a blast to drive - wifey loves it - needless to say, my friends will have to up thier game - I'll send them to Jessica!
