2012 MINI Clubman Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I like how small and compact the mini is. Having the clubmen is also nice as the extra storage is always needed. More leg room for the people in the back.

Absolutely love the performance and handling of the mini. In addition it gets great gas mileage. The interior is comfortable and controls are relatively convenient and functional. Reliability is ok but be prepared after warranty is over for a fair amount of minor problems.

I love that it gets great gas mileage, easy to maneuver in and out of traffic, it fits into most spaces especially when we travel and you have to park in a garage with low ceilings, easy to keep up with the normal maintenance, due to major road repairs I have had to replace tires and rims that were damaged, the local BMW shop provide a rental which is truly appreciated and enjoyed when they fix or repair my car without inconveniencing me and my family.

I frequently travel to Canada, which is for me a 18 hour trip by car. My Mini Cooper Clubman has the endurance to face it all! The gas mileage is incredible, and the brakes are wonderful for the stop-and-go traffic that's always on I-95. Whenever I go on long road trips with my colleagues, we always use my car. It simply is the safest option for all of us.

This car is fun to drive especially the manual transmission model. I've been in a wreck in one of these cars and it handled like a champ and kept me safe. I have done some aftermarket modifications and the car is hard to work on if you do not know what you're doing. It's a quick and zippy little car that I enjoy to drive a lot. Expensive to maintain but it's also worth it. If you know what your doing with cars these are fun little project cars. This car has been a blast to drive and it has minor details that you can appreciate. The interior is well designed and has so many fun things inside like a hidden compartment and what not and just little things like that. Put 92 octane gas in it it'll make the car run better and for a longer period of time. The reliability of this car is great as it's never let me down. I think that it's a very sturdy car and a lot of people do not see the quality and do not appreciate the car for what it's worth. I really love this car as I have had no issues and I have had a lot of fun in the car and it can really go anywhere it's like a stock rally cross car that you didn't know could handle like one. So overall I think this car is great it is expensive and resale value is high and do not get one with a n14 engine in it.

It is very fun to drive. The fuel efficiency is definitely something that I like. It is luxurious and there is a lot more room inside than you would think. It drives well in all conditions except for heavy snow. It has a lot more storage than you would think. There is a leak in the back door that was fixed in later models. The heated seats work very well as does the HVAC. The xenon headlights are amazing at night.

Repairs are expensive. Fun to drive. Fair amount of repairs. Love the power and the cornering. It is great for the hills and curves of Branson Missouri. Repairs include catalytic converter, door handle, the turbo. It has never lost the fun or excitement after eight years.

The car handles great and is fun to drive. It is super easy to park due to the size and is bigger inside than it looks. Handles large grocery orders with no problem. Very inexpensive on gas but does require premium gas in order to run efficiently. Repair costs are substantially more than an average car due to the foreign make so be prepared for the extra cost! A simple battery is on average an extra $75 simply due to the size constraints in the engine compartment. In general a great purchase.
