Now that we’re looking at a new MINI Clubman, maybe it’s time for us to reassess why we’re so fond of this car company.

So which is it? Do we just love the MINI Cooper because of its rich history and iconic appearance? Or are we capable of loving MINI in general, with all their other models (such as the Clubman) and their progressive design.

For lack of a better term, MINI has evolved in the 21st century. If this is your type of car, you’ll probably be happy to know that you can choose from several models and not just different versions of the same model, which all look more or less identical.

The second-generation Clubman is more of an old-school Estate in terms of looks, but dare we say, it’s a very interesting looking car and we’re willing to bet a whole lot of people are going to appreciate it for its practicality and its image.

It’s just like this video suggests…”Go with your gut” – which is probably what many MINI customers tend to do, since few people buy into this brand for practical reasons. They do it because they’re passionate about owning one.

Other than that, we also get a good view of the car, both outside and in, before it rides off into the sunset..or is that a sunrise? Regardless.

The new Clubman should be a very successful car with its efficient diesel and petrol units, whereas the sporty 192 PS Cooper S will be the one providing you with a big more punch in a straight line.
