I average 1150 per month.

Be very gentle and smooth with your acceleration, and don’t accelerate even modestly until you have the car pointing straight. Also, don’t be afraid of the car. Just drive like a granny, and you’ll gradually get used to it.

I daily a hybrid, but have also driven everything from WW2 army trucks to mild supercars. The only car I ever felt was actively trying to kill me was a 1st generation Dodge Viper GTS on a rainy day. No traction control in that car meant it was a vehicle for drivers with better than average skill. Even then, I felt I could get used to it if I had more than an hour to drive the car.

So yeah, be careful, and you’ll be fine.

When I owned a Mini Clubvan, the panel sided version of the Clubman, I was at a red light in a small town. A group of 4 or 5 9-12 year old boys are hanging out with their bikes near the corner. One excitedly shout something like “hey mister, that’s a really cool car!” and the rest start giving me thumbs up and chattering amongst themselves.

It made my day to see a bunch of kids get excited about my car the way I used to get excited about a unique car when I was their age. It didn’t matter that I knew it was just a bottom of the barrel automatic Clubman with a really weird spec.
