"Premium Van For The Modern-Day Milkman"
That is the subtitle of autoblog's first drive review of the MINI Clubvan. It concludes:
Though this eighth model variant in the Mini lineup is really just a doctored Mini Clubman, we really like the Clubman and hence can endorse its van offspring. It is a shame about the added tax pumping up the price, though, as well as the unfortunate fact that North America can't get the little 110-hp turbodiesel we tested here, as it's ideal.
