There's just one problem -- dog containment. My dog needs to be contained in the hatch area with the back seats in their normal place. I haven't yet found a barrier that will keep her safely in the back that fits in the Clubman -- possibly the 4 bar Euro barrier will, but I'm not sure, and I can't find it locally OR anywhere with a good return policy. All the Mini forums say to fold the back seats down or keep her in the back seat, and that _will not work_ for us. (We need to be able to put humans in the back seat.) Ideas, anyone?

I just took delivery of mine last Friday. I was looking, specifically, for a dog-friendlier smaller car of high quality. The Clubman (mine, the "S" model) is a great find. High fun-factor.
