TOP GEAR AWARDS 2007 - Best Small Car

[qzx372]

Well, it seems that JC's cohorts don't agree with him about the Clubman because they have awarded it the "Best Small Car" of 2007.

Despite what their "Columnist " wrote the Top gear review was good and quite balanced.

From the TG website.

Small Car of the Year: Mini Clubman

'There's no avoiding the conclusion that this car is, of course, wildly over-complex. But, in the right environment or with the right driver, the Mini in Clubman form remains a draw. This is still a Mini and yet it's also something fresh. And you know what? That's enough.'

The 500 is at best a practical city car with jewelry and cutesy looks which is interesting but has yet to develop into anything with longevity in terms of repeat customers. I really thought it would be a true MINI competitor until I saw one in the flesh and started to look at it in detail. It's on sale here in the UK now isn't it? I've not noticed any
