Nice review Sir, i drive an F55 with the forbidden fuel engine and has been a fun and reliable runaround. For reference the mood lighting switch is above your head beside the interior light :-)
A very nice colour very Regal. I have never driven one but my experience of the R56 is very positive and I am told that the Clubman are Countryman both drive as well as the the hatchback so I can find no negatives with them. Having driven a Roadster and a Cooper Convertible with 18 in wheels and very low profile Run Flat tyres I would recommend choosing as high a profile tyred version as possible for some improved ride comfort because the lower profile are very stiff indeed. However this will depend on your personal preference being ride comfort or limpet like roadholding. I love all Minis and MINIS so I am very biased Sir.
It definitely needs the adaptive suspension, I would say. For a small estate, the handling is very good, but the ride was really a bit too firm for what I would consider to be a car aimed at families. The exterior colour is indeed really nice.
Sir, this brings to an end the reviews I did in Chelmsford last month. Not sure which one was my favourite, but I imagine that it was either the Ford Ka+ or the Honda e. This makes a lot more sense than the normal F55 Mini five door, I imagine.
My dad had a blue Mini Clubman Estate in the 70s on an H reg.
Of course that was a proper Mini. 🙂
Yes, this one is a bit different from the older classic Minis! Thank you ever so much indeed for watching.

Sir, as you well know, we don't talk about diesels on this channel...

Good Morning Sir!!! Overspending on cars, I think all of your viewers have been there 😊
Sir, I know that I have been responsible for accidental overspend myself as well...
I like the colour as well.
BMW should have called this the 'Maxi'. It looks plenty big enough.
It's actually about the same size as a Ford Focus.
Hello Joseph , How did you find the indicator bong ? a bit loud ? tick tock ?
It's not as bad as the one I tested in a SsangYong Korando some years ago, sir.
A excellent review Sir, reminds me of my mates old Cooper S that he had up until a year ago, think I prefer the Clubman over the 5 door hatch through.
