MINI Cooper Clubman
Select a Year
(6 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Bluetooth wireless communication is now standard, replacing Sirius satellite radio, which becomes an option. John Cooper Works (JCW) models can now be had with an automatic transmission. Joining the lineup this year is the Mini John Cooper Works GP, which Mini says is its fastest model ever made. Just 500 Mini GP models will be imported to the U.S.
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've been driving this little cruiser for 2.5 years and have been very satisfied so far. It's comfortable for the driver and passenger, but a little tight in the back for the kids for more than a quick ride. The barn door hatchback makes it easy to load cargo, and the capacity is amazing. I use the car to haul all sorts of gardening supplies, included bags of soil and mulch. You can squeeze in more that expected with the back seats down. Over all, it's a sweet ride and it drives like a bigger car. Downsides are few, I still haven't gotten used to the front seat and the way they pull forward so passengers can get into the back - if you're parked on a slight incline, the seat will crash into you as you enter the vehicle. Not problem if you live somewhere without hills! The "run-flat" tires that came with the car didn't have the life span I expected (28,000), and it's the only tire you can use on this vehicle, a definite down side since it's expensive to replace."
