The Mini Cooper Clubman is here and she doesn’t disappoint! With unlimited customization comes outrageous style – comfort and powerful are also packed into the compact frame. The Mini Cooper Clubman is a small wonder.

The 2008 Clubman is larger than other Mini Coopers. Legroom and storage areas are bigger and the frame itself is longer, however the Clubman is still a Mini. The Clubman is a bit of a throwback to the Mini Traveller of the 60s.

The Clubman can power-up to just over 200 km/h and can ramp from zero to 60 km/h in just over 7 seconds. You won’t have to break the bank filling it up either! The Mini Cooper Clubman houses a 13.2 gallon fuel tank.

Apart from the machine, the thing that makes Mini Cooper Clubman worthy of being a Cooper would be the handling. If other cars its size does a sharp, hi-speed turn on a corner, you’d expect it to tip to one side and roll over. Clubman is designed to cut corners with its wide wheelbase, high-quality performance suspension, balanced shaft, and integrated sensor-torque-brake-throttle system. This makes driving safer and a lot more fun especially when you make the usually fatal choice of stepping on the throttle while turning.

With more than 40 combinations of exterior designs and more than ten million combinations of standard and optional offering, you can have complete control of what goes in, on and around your dream car. You can choose the color of the body, the trimmings and the roof; you can add on and upgrade details like mirror caps, turn signal, fog lamps, headlamps, bonnet stripes, seating, dashboard, wheel mags, and lots more.

Have complete control on other stuff like your transmission, the sensors, interior accessories, and even your plate number holder. If you want it just the way it is, then that’s no problem either. With the Mini Cooper Clubman, you don’t have to worry about how the car would look; it is bound to be noticed in any case.

It may not seem apparent at first, but driving a Mini Cooper is driving not only in style but also in comfort. The driver’s seat allows a full-grown man to sit in comfort with ergonomic seating and driving position that stress comfort and correct driving posture. Clubman is also 3.15 in. longer at the wheelbase than the conventional minis, providing more leg room in the passenger seats and more cargo room at the back.

The return of a well-loved car from circa 1960 made its mark not only in the roads but in the hearts of those who drive it, and those who saw and marvel at the build and the power a small car like MINI have. We have seen it in racetracks, freeways, in less than favorable roads, and sometimes under a moving truck in an intersection. Where else would we see a MINI Cooper next?
