Opinions on the Clubman!!


Hi, anyone have any opinions on the clubman? I'm looking to buy a mini
and had always thought I'd go for the cooper S but it might be nice to
have a little more room. Any reason to consider the clubman? Here's a
link to the exact cars I'm considering: http://vlane.com/comparison/2207

I had the Regular R56, loved it and wished I didnt give her up due to the gas situation now. I had not driven a clubman, but having more room is always a good thing.

I think they look cool... I personally don't need more space so I picked up an S.. I didn't test drive it but I am assuming they are probably close to the feel of the regular Cooper just add more weight...

Such a unique and very differentiated car I love it, it looks amazing in grey metallic or white.

Not a huge fan on the way it looks; there are some strange color combinations with the section around the taillights depending on your body color. Never driven one; and i think i have plenty of room in my 2003 MCS, w/ no back seats. IMO, if you want a car with more space, look at some cheap station wagons, or an old truck.

I can't hate too much i guess, because it still is a MINI, but just not my taste.

I'm still not sure what to think, it really depends on the color and optional extra's.

I like this one:
