For the real test: the back row of seats fold flat very easily and the taillight clusters don’t take up any space. I loaded boxes with ease because of the low load height, and with the passenger-seat folded forward, I easily slid in a queen-size futon mattress.
The Cooper Clubman Classic starts at $23,250, while my tester, simply called the Cooper Clubman, costs just under $25,000. If you want some more power, you can look at the turbocharged S with 181 hp or the John Cooper Works Clubman with 208 hp and a starting price of $38,400.
The MINI has the cute fun factor all wrapped up and is appealing to both men and women. The Clubman Classic model has the same engine and is about $3,000 less than the better-equipped and more-customizable Clubman. You get the same interesting interior design and incredibly enjoyable ride in both cars—so which one should you pick?
After spending a week with this cute car and the extra space, both my girlfriend and I agree that ten inches doesn’t really make a huge difference. It’s still a MINI, no matter what the size.
