Hot Chocolate

The 'Hot Chocolate' color is lustrous. And exclusive to the Clubman.(But will it get too common? Soon?)



Ok, by now you'd have realized that I'm head-over-heels for the MINI Cooper Clubman.

I have to admit that I am a MINI-Convert.

I used to think : " What's the Big deal with a Car so Small?" " Why would any one want to pay so much of their hard-earned money on a tiny car like this?" " Am I the only one who thinks that the MINI is hella expensive?" " Is an Icon worth that much (I mean a VW New Beetle; arguably the only other real market-equivalent, cost only half as much to put on the drive way)? "


And then you swallow your ego and take it out for a spin at a dealership near you.

And you'd be smitten.

The MINI has probably the most engaging drive you'd ever experienced this side of an ultimate sports car.

Magnifique!!!

The go-cart like grip and feel is impossible to fathom in dramatic adjectives.

This car fits like a glove.

But of course, the size part was still an issue.

I've nothing against small cars. But to pay THAT MUCH for SO LITTLE is still asking too much me thinks.

Until the Clubman came along, that is.

The extra length makes sense. And Cents.

The boot and rear seat space are now way more usable.

I personally prefer its looks more so too.

And best of all, the gimmicky doors do their best to make the extra space more special to access.

And yes, the car still handles like a dream; fits like glove.

Only more comfortable. Wee !!!

There, I said it. ^^
