Professional Reviews

• “Built on the bones of the recently redesigned Mini Hardtop, the new Clubman cuts an attractive profile thanks to a low, wide stance that works with the curvaceous bodywork.” — Automobile
• “Within the cabin, you're most aware of the increase in width, with 3.5 inches of additional shoulder room in the front and 3.2 inches more in the rear. Rear passengers also enjoy 2.0 inches of additional knee room over the Hardtop 4 Door.” — Automobile
• “The new eight-speed automatic transmission has a conventional hydraulic torque converter, so it's smoother at city speed than a dual-clutch design, though this automatic has a surprising propensity to stutter at low speed.” — Automobile
• “...it's now only 7 inches shorter in length than the Mazda3 hatchback - make huge differences in perceived space, especially shoulder room and rear-seat space, and result in fewer of the overall compromises Mini has been known for.” — Motor Trend
• “Steering is up to Mini standards and feels firm but not heavy.” — Motor Trend
• “Finding a good driving position was easy, and the seats come with manually adjusted thigh support extensions.” — Motor Trend
