2012 MINI Cooper Clubman Review

The constant use of sport, the basis of elegant design, because the hatchback MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper Clubman 2012 adds functionality with a wheelbase and cargo space more spacious. It is priced just above the door and competitive with other doors as large as the Audi A3, Mazda3/Mazdaspeed3, and Volkswagen GTI.

Small styling cues, plus the body longer and be different from the standard Cooper Clubman: small changes in the front finish, distinctive details, veneers and batch aa vertical rear overhang. Updates sweet redesign last year to continue during 2012 as well as new lights and rear bumper and a revised interior, which promotes black matte chrome in a series before.

One might suppose the Clubman’s extra dimension would have jeopardized its sportsmanship, but you’re wrong. Rejected back, there is a slight difference, but despite the passage and the extra weight, the Clubman is agile, quick and light on its wheels. As the cliché of Cooper, the Clubman offers each one naturally aspirated and turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder base, S and Clubman John Cooper Works trim. Base models the rate of 121 horsepower, while the Clubman S models make 181 hp John Cooper Works and the rate of 208 hp.

All are good with gas mileage, scoring up to 27/36 mpg on each base and S Clubman guise, and mpg 25/33 for the JCW. the choice of six-speed manual six-speed automatic in the base and S models will be a canvas of the improvement of 1 mpg in each city and highway. Ride and luxury are good at Clubman, the extra dimensions improve stability and smoothness slightly above the standard Cooper. Rough roads or common areas will contribute to pushing and noise in the cabin, however, and wind noise is noticeable, however, good for the car atiny below.

Drivers should use the rear seats can see the Clubman 2012, a major upgrade in the sedan, with step in providing the necessary space for the legs and the back of the hinge of the passenger door with the creation of a easier access. Materials and build quality are generally good, although the prevalence of hard plastics, economic and squeaks and rattles from the interior to discuss cutting costs. Given the tag is steep, the MINI Clubman in high level (or any model with a top team in the original) that is a bit “disappointing.

Neither NHTSA nor IIHS has marked the MINI Clubman 2012 in crash tests and ratings of renewal, however, but a group of computers that ordinary drivers feel safe, even though the Clubman is still small. The 2012 MINI Cooper hatchback and rated very high scores of “good” according to the IIHS, however, to be largely due to the collapse of the state, besides Clubman. Common ABS, six airbags, stability control, and Hill-Start Assist, all contribute to a strong base, while the options of how to upgrade xenon adaptive and parking sensors also will help a lot.

Like all MINIs on the other hand, the shopping experience Clubman is much for customizing: vinyl sticker cards, a multitude of settings for technology upgrades, painting, like countless MINI Connected and navigation, and a wide range of performance accessories in addition to over ten million possible combinations. Common equipment levels are generally good, although perhaps not as complete as possible as expected given the high value of the MINI for its category.
