That's quite right, for the price of any MINI you could get a much bigger car if that's what you want. But it would not have the style, the premium BMW build quality, or the FUN. It is the carrying capacity of the Clubman and the extra legroom that makes it unbeatable amongst small cars, plus the better handling over the MINI hatch due to the longer wheelbase, as several people have pointed out. The perfect motor.
