MINI Clubman Cooper S Review
We first saw the MINI Clubman concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2005. The MINI Clubman range went on sale in the UK some two year's later in November 2007, a year after the second generation MINI was launched and six years after the reincarnation of the MINI hatch. Based on the MINI hatch and taking inspiration from the original Mini Traveller, the Clubman or MINI Estate is 24cm longer with increased rear legroom, and is designed to sit five with easy access to the boot via the twin rear doors. The MINI Clubman is currently offered in three derivates - the Cooper, Cooper D and Cooper S all with their own 1. 6 engines. the full review

MINI Clubman Review
The new MINI was launched in 2001, to much acclaim. Although bigger than the original Mini, what it lacked in rear legroom, it made up for in unusual styling and a vast array of options. The MINI Clubman has the same raft of options but its main benefit is the extra length, which should make rear passengers happier. Based on the second generation MINI hatch, introduced between the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, the Clubman is 24cm longer, which is taken up by an extra 8cm between the front and rear seats and an increased boot capacity of 260-litres with the seats up and a maximum 930-litres with the seats folded. the full review

MINI One D Review
The MINI One D was released in July 2003 and was the fourth addition to the MINI family. It is the first time in the history of the MINI brand that a diesel engine has been available in the model range. In September 2005 the MINI One D received a revised engine with a 20 percent increase in power. the full review
