International Business Times Examines the MCS Clubman
Alistar Charlton, writing for the International Business Times, gives the MINI Clubman 4 out of 5 possible stars and this "verdict":
An attractive and practical car with bags of character and enough space for four adults with luggage. The Mini Clubman is a great car for a small family who don't want to upgrade to a full-on estate or SUV, but in Cooper S form it can't quite live up to expectations. It's still a quick car and entertaining for the odd solo run to the shops late at night, but the next morning it feels more at home carrying people and bags from A to B.
Quirky and characterful, but not as fun as you might have hoped. Perhaps this is just what growing up feels like.
