The MINI Clubman is a unique vehicle which is both fun and practical
Verdict – When I saw the pictures of the Clubman, I thought why has MINI made this car? It doesn’t look good and is not particularly ‘mini’. However, after driving it around, I have understood the reason. This is a car built for the a young professional or a middle-aged person who wants to have just one car, albeit one which can do it all. For them, this is the perfect bet as it offers practicality, performance, space and exclusivity in one package. Priced similarly to entry level German sedans, the MINI Clubman Cooper S offers a very different experience.

Doesn’t the Clubman look a bit like a station wagon from certain angles?
