Vehicle Summary: 2008 Mini Cooper S Clubman
The Mini Cooper Clubman S is a stretched version of the Cooper S coupe. It adds a rear-hinged backseat access door on the passenger's side, and split tailgate doors at the rear. It's an odd mix of a coupe, sedan, and wagon that adds utility to the basic Cooper concept. It shares its powertrain with the coupe, which means a peppy turbocharged four-cylinder engine that's paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. It remains entertaining to drive, easy to park, and distinctively styled.
