Here is good news for mini car lovers. The Mini Clubman will be your practical choice. The new version of the car is stretched by 244mm and adds 77.5mm extra legroom and 16mm extra headroom for people sitting in the rear seat. So no more squishing yourself for fitting into the mini! Four people can enjoy the ride comfortably, though it has only one door for the rear passengers.

The car includes an 88kW 1.6-litre four-cylinder and a turbocharged version packing 128kW. This makes this little man quite powerful eh!

The craze for this mini vehicle dates back to the 1960’s, when the Mini Clubman Estate and Austin Mini Clubman sold from 1960 to 1982. The wagon version of the Mini aimed at people who just couldn’t find enough space to fit all their stuff in the original Mini. The original Clubman had a longer wheelbase. It used the same power plants as used by the regular Minis which include Cooper S and GT versions.

Since the introduction of the Mini Cooper convertible in 2005, it has not seen any major changes of late. Though this does not undermine the credibility of the car. This is a good mini car, which fits in very well with the urban life.

Performance wise the car is still at the top and has a certain charisma that attracts others. Structurally it is solid and its handling and steering capabilities match any other car of international repute. Although, the car does not have much luggage space, it does not take much parking space. It has the title of the shortest car sold in the U.S.

The mini car does come with a hefty price. It is priced at $18,700, which is expensive considering it is a small car. At this price one can actually get a car of BMW quality and engineering.

The Mini Cooper is a pleasure on weekend trips with your family and fits in well with a small family. So, if you want a change from the usual luxury cars, and want something petite, this would be a good choice for you.
