Car Leasing Review - The Mini Clubman

Car Leasing Review - The Mini Clubman

In the market for a brand new car? With the fantastic range of vehicles on the market at the moment, you’re in an enviable position! Less enviable, however, is probably the amount of research you’re probably thinking you’re going to have to do before you make your decision…

At LittleGreenCarLeasing.com we’re here to help, so we’re providing you with our condensed review summaries of some of our Best Buys (those with amazing leasing rates), so that you can save that time and effort for something you’d rather be doing! 

This time around, it’s the fantastic Mini Clubman.

Mini Clubman

 

The Telegraph

In most ways the Clubman does a successful job of expanding the Mini’s appeal into a bigger, more family oriented car that’s still fun and frugal to drive. 

 

CarWow
 

The new Mini Clubman is a huge improvement over the old model and addresses everything that was wrong with it – it now has the correct number of doors, it’s wider for more passenger space and has a proper centre console too. You also get some of the best engines in the class, better-than-average handling as well as an improved ride comfort. There are many reasons to buy the Mini, but most come from the heart.


WhatCar

If you’re looking for a practical, characterful and upmarket-feeling car that’s rewarding to drive and offered with a good range of engines, then it’s well worth considering a Mini Clubman.

As well as being more interesting to drive and more distinctive than many rival offerings, it’s also offered with a range of personalisation options and a wide array of modern features, including a head-up display. 

TopGear

Build quality throughout is BMW-beatingly exemplary. Materials and finish smack of really thoughtful design. Less thoughtful, the thick rear doors eat into visibility (there’s a stonking great bar down the middle of your rear-view mirror vision) and boot space – at 360 litres, you’ve only got as much area as a cramped 1-Series. So it’s bigger than before, but still a car you buy in spite of its practicality, not because of it.

CarBuyer 

On the road, the MINI Clubman has softer suspension than the five-door MINI hatchback, although it’s still been designed with driver involvement as a priority. This is a winning combination, as you’re well insulated from poor road surfaces and potholes, yet the Clubman remains enjoyable to steer along twisty backroads.

Little Green Car Leasing summary

Whilst Mini are often noted for their quirky, retro design style, with the Clubman, the critics are largely interested in what they regard as the car's build quality and its driving experience, which may well open the brand up to a broader market. Mentioned is the car's increased interior space, meaning those with a small family are now catered for as well.
