Mini Clubman Cooper S | Is It the Best Family Car?!

  • Hello and welcome back to Life In Motion TV!
    In this exciting new video, I explain why this rather sporty looking, practical and economical Mini Clubman should be your next family car. I take you around the outside, and inside, and go for a drive in order to show you why.
    As the Mini Clubman starts from £27,015, it sits just above the Nissan Qashqai and far below the Audi Q3. If you're anything like me then having a car that drives nicely is important. Why should you give that up for a family car!? If you're really in the mood, you can go for a John Cooper Works Clubman with 306bhp, or you can get 45mpg out of the Mini Clubman Cooper with its 1.5 3-cylinder engine.
    Make sure to comment below what you think of the Mini Clubman, and whether you think something else would do a better job! Make sure to also like the video to help others find it.
    Don't forgot to subscribe to the channel to see plenty more future videos to come but for now, I'll see you soon.

    Just about to buy one that looks very similar to this but been mapped to 250bhp. I’m not too bothered about that but it does go pretty well. I just love the interior and noise it makes. Great vid 👍

    I like the Clubman. I wanted one but the good lady wanted the countryman. We compromised on a 2.0 countryman Cooper S with cooper works extras. And I think it’s better from a practicality point of view. And it’s still an excellent drive.

    Seriously thinking of buying one of these, there's one a few years old near me for sale, and I'm absolutely terrified of people thinking I'm gay if I buy a mini. Terrible I know, but I can't decide

    Love this! Just bought a 2019 Clubman S over the weekend. Pick up Thursday. Glad you like it too. We have a dog and need a boot liner like yours to protect bumper - did you just go for the Boot Buddy bumper protecter or boot liner too?

    • @LifeInMotionuk

      Oh superb, enjoy collection day on Thursday! So just the bumper protector here. We also have a thick mat he sits on with a towel and that seems to keep the boot looking good :)

    Not a Qashqai competitor in any way. The Countryman is an SUV. Also, you need a manual for real fun.

    My wife has the 2017 Cooper S Auto All4. top spec with everything on it. Lounge leather, HUD, way better spec than yours. Took it to Lancaster from Leicester and back 4 up on Monday because my Volvo V90 had an issue and it did remarkeably well. Also a surprising 47mpg.

      complete waste the all 4. heavier and worse on fuel. never had to much power to have 4wheeldrive. HUD isn’t worth it at all. have it on my car. at this point i think you have a worse spec,

    I have a 2018 that my daughter wanted and now doesn’t. I’m now stuck with this car. The thing must have built for midgets. It’s way to small and cramped inside. Any little bump and my head hits the ceiling. One thing I can’t believe is the horrible gas mileage. You would think with how much gas this thing burns it would be super fast. WRONG. Slow, ugly, horrible fuel mileage, and I see the trim and paint is already failing. One thing that is really irritating is the brake light bulbs. It’s a proprietary bulb. Only BMW and MINI use them. Oh yeah, when it’s time for an oil change the shops never have the filters or oil that is required. 💩💩💩

      @@ifyouarefeelingsinister Nope. Now sensors seem to be going out. Just replaced one on the brakes. It kept saying the car needed a brake service. The shop found a bad sensor and said the brakes are fine. That was last week. Now the display is saying it needs brake fluid service. It's truly just a miniature BMW with all the problems it has. People still say nice Clubman. I just smile and say thank you.......🙃

    Pushing a boulder up a hill by trying to convince people the clubman is a more suitable family car than a Qashqai...it just isn't.
