The Car Connection gives the 2012 MINI Clubman an 8.4 on a scale of ten. Its dislikes:
- Lack of precision in electric power steering feel
- Backseat access tough despite door
- Prices climb quickly with added equipment
- Excellent handling despite slightly larger size
- John Cooper Works power
- Comfortable ride for a small car
- Cargo space
Its bottom line:
More capacity, more practicality, and just as much sport and style, the 2012 MINI Cooper Clubman strikes a balance between family and fun.
