MINI Clubman (2007 - 2014) 1.6 D Cooper 5d Auto Owner Review

Started doing even higher mileage than my usual so decided I needed an economical car. But because I was having to be sensible, I decided I also wanted something that was quirky/fun. Bought the Mini on a bit of a whim:clubman with "suicide door" - how much more quirky can you get. It seems to be the right blend of power to weight. Got rid of the run-flats as soon as I bought the car and the handling - with normal tyres - is beautiful: I often have more powerful and sporty cars that can't keep up through the bends. My only real critism is the squeaks and rattles but there were two owners before me and the poor old thing has now done 192K miles.
