Hi All,

Hope everyone’s car is doing well!!??

We have been thinking about changing Mrs Ice’s car over the last couple of days, currently she drives a 2008 W204 Mercedes C200 CDI Elegance. She really like this car, the image, options and gadgets, economy etc.

Originally she was thinking of a mid-SUV like the Volvo XC60 but she also mentioned a mini.

Now I’m pretty sure the normal mini will be too small, so I have turned my thoughts on the Clubman, which is supposed to have more leg room and a useable boot. We would probably go for a 2010-11 model Cooper D or Cooper SD, but is there enough room for two adults up front and two boys aged 11 & 13 in the back?

We have the E-class estate for long trips and general family stuff but I want to make sure the mini can handle the odd occasion with the four of us?

I read somewhere the there was an additional 2.5" more leg room in the rear.

Having said that we are both sub 5ft 10" ! So should be fine on rear legroom for the kids?!

I would prefer a Cooper SD but budget might dictate Cooper D.
