Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Bluetooth is now standard and satellite radio is made optional. John Cooper Works (JCW) models can now be had with an automatic transmission. Joining the lineup this year is the fastest Mini ever made – the he limited production John Cooper Works GP – and the Mini Clubvan featuring opaque side windows and an expanded cargo area.
While it's true that an increasingly number of car owners are downsizing, there are times when smaller can be too small. The Mini Cooper is one example, offering buyers cute styling, fun driving dynamics and desired efficiency, but very little room. That's where the Mini Cooper Clubman comes into play, with more than nine inches of extra length, which brings with it much-needed rear leg room. A good bit of added cargo space found its way into the equation, too. If you want a Mini Cooper with greater dimensions, and you're not interested in the larger four-door Countryman, the 2011 Clubman is waiting for a test drive. Shoppers can choose between base and turbocharged S models.

"A Mini Cooper Clubman Turbo. One sweet ride. Never had more compliments on a car as on this one. Highest praise is from me, a 3-time GTI owner and car nut. I am selling my black new one for a white one just because. And I may keep doing this every year since I drank the Mini kool-aid. Just a joy to drive, handles like a dream. Fast, tight, clean, zippy, slick, handsome, unique are just of the few adjectives I use to describe car. Don't hesitate. You won't regret it. BTW. I am 6,3" and have tons of room so don't be fooled by the exterior. Test, buy, fall in love and enjoy the ride."

"I have owned a Jeep Wrangler, Ford mustang and a Nissan Xterra. This MINI is by far the most fun I have ever had in a vehicle. The clubman gives me added space for hauling all of my outdoor related gear. I use the MINI roof rack for my bikes and box, and I can haul the dog in the back with the seat down and the added protection cover. The "secret" storage compartment in the trunk area is superb and a must to use for muddy outdoor adventures. I cant speak highly enough about this vehicle, it looks great, drives great, and with my commute i average about 35mpg. It is truley a must have for any driver."

"I have had my MINI Cooper Clubman for about 18 months. It's a fun car, that is a blend of compact and sports car. It has the feeling of driving a go-kart! It has been very reliable for me, and I love the responsiveness of the steering and handling. The downside is obviously the size of it. Wish I had bought something with a little more room, but then again you shouldn't expect to have a lot of room with something named MINI. On the plus side of the size, I am able to maneuver in and out of tight places that most cars cannot. That comes in very handy in traffic, and in parking lots!"
