Great fun to drive; looks good; fuel-saving tech; it's the latest must-have Mini.
Not particularly practical; expensive; poor rearward visibility; hard ride.
Form over function. Flawed - but immensely desirable.




It's not cheap to buy in the first place, but the Mini has consistently returned industry-leading residual values. Assuming the high early demand continues, the Clubman should be no different, and is likely to be worth well over half its purchase price in three years' time.
