After a few weeks with a MINI Clubman, Claire Riley finds shes falling for the family-friendly MINI
Three years is a long time in car ownership, and for the last few months Claire Riley and her husband Sam have been considering what could be the perfect replacement for their Audi A3 Sportback. They’d looked at all the usual rivals, but then we put them behind the wheel of a MINI Clubman – a car we thought could provide everything they needed for fun, stylish family transport.
“I wanted something different,” Claire told us. “An interesting alternative that was sporty but also practical.” And after taking a spin in one a few months ago, she was hooked. You can see what she initially thought about the car in a video on autoexpress.co.uk, but today Claire and husband Sam bid a sad farewell to their silver MINI Clubman Cooper S.
“It wasn’t a model I’d considered before, but after a test drive, we were hooked. The Cooper S in particular looks great with its big wheels and mesh grilles, but it’s the space inside that really sealed the deal.”
