MINI Clubman (07 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 28 September 2007 Last Updated: 21 April 2009 The MINI Clubman is a more practical alternative to the standard hatchback. It's longer and offers more legroom for rear passengers along with extra boot space. It also packs some neat design touches including spilt rear doors, a dual-level boot floor and a single ‘clubman’ side door for easier access into the rear seats. But despite the extra space this is not an ideal family car – the rear is cramped and luggage room is still limited. However, it retains the exciting and engaging driving nature of the standard MINI - so it's a shame that it also shares the same miserly standard equipment tally. Alternative estates may be bigger, however for those that want a MINI but are put off by its limited practicality - the Clubman makes great sense. 4 out of 5 Other MINI reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £14,490 - £24,795 View all new prices Used price range: £6,800 - £23,165 View all used prices See 10 new models for sale from £14,073 Get a MINI Clubman (07 on) information pack Next steps MINI Clubman cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
