Pros:

• Super-stiff suspension
• Light-weight, small and extremely agile
• Drives like a sports car
• Superp acceleration
• Excellent gas mileage

I have two kids and have a heavy cycling background so although the Cooper serves me well, I sometimes wish for more space. So when the Clubman S came became available for testing, I was giddy with anticipation. If this Clubman delivered, I would seriously consider selling my Cooper S and VW Passat and buy the Clubman S as my “do it all” sports car.
