Hardly any negative comment. HERE of all places, Pistonheads, the 'hate MINI' forum![...]
Bit surprised as well, but IMO the Clubvan is the only remotely interesting thing in the range. People secretly interested in a BMW mini can now have one without risking being mistaken for the airhead from marketing. And in the UK it really is sensibly priced. Here in .de, that's a joke with the Clubvan starting at 14.700 UKP, or just a few quid less than a Clubman.

It should do - chap at work has the estate version and his bike goes straight in with both wheels on. I'd love a transporter but they're MEGA money for what they are, or cheap and knackered. 11k doesn't buy you much of a transporter, or a new one of these (pov spec mind)
£11k should get you a 2010+ Transporter with a year left on the manufacturers warranty and around 40k miles. Couple that with rock solid depreciation and endless customization potential it's a no-brainer imho.Edited by Hellbound on Thursday 6th December 10:16

Great for a florist in Notting Hill Gate.
It's great for all these sort of businesses and there are quite a few of them. Nicely sign-written a vehicle is a mobile billboard and it will convey the right image for the sort of customers they wish to attract.As mentioned because of high residuals the leasing costs should be fairly low.
Pretty useless for my requirements.

Will the Cooper D version be congestion charge exempt?
If so i can see it being extremely popular in London. We have a hatch for doing small deliveries and would definitely make this high on the list come replacement next year.

Would it fit a bike in?
I'd be amazed if it didn't. I can fit a bike in a Peugeot 406 saloon with the seats dropped. It took a bit of planning, but if you couldn't fit one in a "van" I would be surprised. What I want to know is, will it fit a piano? That's my test of a van
