MINI CLUBMAN

The Mini Cooper Soho, a special edition of the unashamedly retro hatchback, is effectively a MINI estate and it certainly looks different to anything else on the road. It's as fun as any MINI to drive and actually a little more comfortable, thanks to its slightly longer wheelbase. That extra length also means there's a reasonable amount of space in the back for two adults. The Clubman Soho is lots of fun, it revs sweetly, the engine is light so it feels sprightly, with agile handling. The longer wheelbase actually helps and it feels just as keen in corners but with better ride quality than the original Mini. The Soho has a white silver colour scheme on the outside and 17in Black Star Bullet alloys, Bi-Xenon headlights, a leather sports steering wheel and plusher interior trim. This Clubman has been well looked after with a full service history from Mini.
