I liked this car so much I went out and bought one. The test drive sealed the deal. A lot of other MINI owners, who own M5's, even Ferraris, etc, say that these cars are incredibly enjoyable and love them just as much as the cars that cost multiple times as much money. I think you can't beat the Clubman's package of speed, handling, fuel economy, small size, and storage space. It's a perfect balance of a daily driver with sport and luxury amenities in a small, urban sized package!
I don't care what some of you old-timers say, it's an awesome ride.
Using your logic, Chevrolet shouldn't call their SUV the Suburban since the original Suburban was based on their panel truck, had only two passenger doors and was 2WD.
And maybe Dodge shouldn't make the new Charger....etc.
Get over it! BMW owns the Mini name so they can do what they want with it. It doesn't change the old Mini's in any way. Sorry you feel so threatened.
I don't really care what they are calling this car, but the Mini Clubman has to be one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever been in! Beside the great fuel economy, it is very comfortable and sporty. I almost prefer driving my Mini over my parents BMWs. And I must add, they really don't feel as fun as the classic ones either.
Right, this is my opinion but tbh bmw have totally fucked about with mini now. The classic will always be the greatest and i wish they would just stop trying to improve mini. It's just not working.
I've been a mini owner since 2001. Pick any make of car and there will be a prick somewhere who ruins it for you. I'm so bored of the anti new mini crowd, it's just a car. most new mini drivers wave and give way to each other, it's nice. i see a lot more snobbery and hassle from original mini drivers who seem to think they have something to prove. And it's called clubman because bmw don't own the 'traveller' name they wanted to use, and the door is on that side because of production costs.
That sort of bragging and snobbery is the exact behavior and attitude I'm talking about from some BMW Mini owners. I Hope you have bought a European import to the U.K. have fun opening your side doors onto the wrong side of the road. ha ha!
mangaben, if you had any intelligence at all, you would know that all new mini clubmans have the 'suicide' door on the right hand side.the reason there isn't one on the other side is because of the position of the fuel filler cap.any way, the door is only 10 inches deep and i dont suppose you climb out of the passenger side after driving,or do you??
Read and comprehend before you put your mouth into gear, and talking about gears to quote Top Gear 'Unfortunately for the 'British' Mini, it's on the right-hand side of the car, so opens into traffic' what part of that do you not understand!? Mangaben meets idiot on internet, idiot speaks bollocks, Mangaben puts idiot right. It's a Mini adventure.
Wow, and you're an ignorant dumbfuck. It's a waste of time moving the fuel cap position to meet standards, or are you too busy drinking gas to make you more retarded?
I own a 1975 mini clubman.. to be honest i dont know whats going on with the new one ,, is it even called a clubman .. like others said it looks more like a mini estate than a clubman.. im just confused
This car will probably be driven, by trendy wankers who want to look cool, but don't have the intelligence nor the knowledge on how to run or maintain an original mini clubman. Not to mention they are the sort of people that try to race you at lights and on motorways to try and prove a stupid point. I don't like the concept of this blatant money spinner. I don't like a majority of people that drive new minis, and I don't like a vast majority of BMW stands for British Motoring Wankers.
well,we've just bought one, because unlike you,we dont drive a clapped out bl mini,and unlike you,we can afford one,and unlike you,we'll get 70+mpg,and unlike you,we're NOT wankers
By what you've you've just said, that proves that your the wanker. You know nothing of my career standing or status, you can keep your 70+mpg nob 21165 is being served please take a ticket and get in line with the others.
well, if they stick with the name clubman then that's rather stupid. they should call it the estate or countryman, it's not a clubman. a clubman is a mini with a square nose instead of a round one, as most everyone else has already commented.
how is that surpost to be a clubman, its a bloody estate it doesnt therefore mean its a clubman, actally saying that its not even a dammed mini. the mini is a brittish thing, thats fooking german
Although I had difficulty reading your reply, this IS the prototype of the NEW Mini Clubman. See this weeks' 'Autocar' magazine's Geneva show article for a full report.
Have there been cases of amputated (childrens) fingers yet?
The backdoor design (holes for rearlights) is really stupid.
