SUPER FUN TO DRIVE

Ordered it with all the bells and whistles. Love it but now need to get something practical to drive my elderly parents to their appointments.

I'm pleased I moved to the CLUBMAN model

I actually needed a truck but I also wanted economy, reliability and a strong, robust manufacture that would take the punishment of the NE Georgia mountain roads. I found myself quite often slipping it into the tight suspension & responsive power mode -the "sports-mode" setting really worked for me. A great car and with 1 foot longer it has more square footage for hauling...

Wicked fun

Easy to maintain. Brakes , oil etc for the car enthusiast it's great. Have the bike rack and it hauls 3 on roof no problem.

My First Car

The Mini Cooper Clubman is my first car and i adore it in every way. That being said i am not blind to its faults. when not in sport mode it is pitifully slow off the line; and even in sport mode it seems to lag and surge slightly. The ride is also slightly firm and jolty. Despite all this, in my 4 years owning it, it has never broken down, the interior is a nice place to be despite being slightly cheap, the handling is just as nice as advertised, and it has a special charm that no other car i've been in has. It is even spacious. with the back seats down i fit everything i needed for college, including a mini fridge. All in all, it's the perfect first car; and if you were to get a more powerful version I imagine it would be a great car full stop. I love my mini and will drive it until it dies.

Smiles for miles

Had a 2013 Mini Hatchback and loved it but needed a bit more room. The clubman handles just as well with a better ride. Love the barn doors in the back , make access easy. Have a Range Rover but find myself driving the Mini all the time. Got to Love Mini.... every one is unique and personality +++. Buy a MINi and put a smile back on your face and enjoy driving again!

Smallest car I've owned

Roomy inside, fun to drive, great gas mileage. Took a bit to get used to as we went from a Nissan Pathfinder to this. Its a pleasure to park, car doesn't feel small when driving. Very comfortable
