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.

Have a 2022 manual Cooper S Clubman. Love it!

[@LifeInMotionuk]

I really like Mini’s manual gearbox’s!

[@maggygwire]

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 👍

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Superb! Enjoy

[@bencook4361]

I have the 2021 cooper s clubman, custom exhaust, induction, jcw pack, new double clutch 7 speed if you want to do a video on it no problems

[@macpdm]

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.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

I do see a fair few countryman’s around - pleased you’re enjoying it

[@linkinchimp8916]

Why compare it to Jukes and crossovers? Its no bigger than a Focus, Golf, Astra etc

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Exactly

[@yebae5272]

I love my club man 17

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Love it 🙌🏻

[@jamesennis5163]

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 :)

[@greghealy7078]

Like I shop in Sainsburys 😉

[@DEGMOTOV]

the net in the back is OEM? or where did you buy it?

[@LifeInMotionuk]

It was a mini official accessory from the Mini parts store

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

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

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Do it. It’s a great car.

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

@@LifeInMotionuk It's got a nice red paint job with black stripes and black leather

[@eklektikTechno]

No cup holders in the back

[@garchie5150]

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

[@TimpBizkit]

Just got a 2008 one for £4000

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@TimpBizkit]

@@LifeInMotionuk funny you mention Nissan Qashqai because that is my colleague's car that I was getting a lift with after the head gasket in my citroen c2 blew.

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]

I thought they had 189 bhp?

[@homejournalist]

In the U.S. and some other countries. Not in the U.K.

[@TimpBizkit]

My 1.6 has about 170

[@Retrofordguy]

Over the years minis have become increasingly fugly an bloated and being that its owned by bmw means it will break and be ridiculously expensive to fix and maintain i always wanted a mini but those repair bills always put me off

[@Drunken_Hamster]

If only it had Honda/Toyota reliability.

[@shieldaigbencher]

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.

[@gord6695]

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,

[@shieldaigbencher]

@gord6695 Ah yes, All4 anything but a waste in the North West Highlands Ullapool where we most often are. Don't assume, it makes...etc.

[@green__tea]

Alright Bragatha Christie. Way better than yours haha. My daddy's car is better than yours 😂

[@airportbumdad]

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]

Do you like it then?

[@airportbumdad]

@@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.......🙃

[@Bobthebuilder-mj5bd]

@@airportbumdad Mines working perfectly

[@MichaelRammell]

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.
