@sevensixtysteve86624 ай бұрын
Great review but the car isn't for me. I can cope with the fact it's no longer a mini but there are way too many gimmicks. The central toggle switches that control the 'emotions' or 'moods' or whatever, is just about as bad as it gets in driver inconvenience. Tosh like that should be relegated to a sub menu on the screen where hopefully it can never see the light of day. Toggle switches should be given something to do which might actually make driving easier and safer like HVAC control. Please please please car companies, stop treating your customers as 5 year olds with ADHD and prioritise function and form to lead your design choices, not kindergarten graphics and how many colours the interior lights can display.

@burkhard60134 ай бұрын
I cancelled my test drive date after viewing the interior with the textile dash, and experiencing the laggy performance of the screen. Also hiding basic functions into a 3 step screen operation - after creating “short cuts” - was a deal killer for me. I stay with my Mini Countryman JCW 2020 until something better comes up. But not this half baked product.
@fabricewerner24282 ай бұрын
I trust drove it last week and in all honesty the car was brilliant. Handling was super great, not that spongy-suv feel and it was really nippy through the corners. The interior is personal taste of course. For the screen I can't report any issue, it all worked fine.

@robmaxwell367827 күн бұрын
Vicki - my wife drove a Countryman as a rental car and really liked it EXCEPT for the seats. We both found them to be uncomfortable- mainly the back cushion and they way it was curved. We would likely have been interested in getting one if the seats had been comfortable. Do you find the seats to be the same in the Clubman as they are in the Countryman?

NOOOOOOOOO !! I took issue with the first reborn Mini, joking that you could use it to encase a Mini 😳 Successive versions have grown, bigger, bigger and uglier……… this one is a monstrosity !! The scale, the proportions, the shape……… the stupidly large screen, distracting you from “the Screen”……… the one you SHOULD be looking through. Shameless marketing bauble for the hard of thinking, albeit, wealthy as well. Staggering to see a Mini on 20” wheels, when the original had 10” wheels……. VBH - stunning as ever, natural and fizzing in front of a camera - don’t stop 🥳🇬🇧🏁

The original mini was a practical thoughtful brilliant idea. It was tiny, cheap, cheerful and spartan. This is a pointless styling exercise designed to appeal to nostalgia. The original mini was a brand new concept This is a mish mash, as big as a series 2 Land Rover and way too expensive.
