2016 Mini Clubman Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Mini Clubman's standard seats have a non-adjustable lumbar area that bulges far too much for my back. Your back and impression of the seats could differ. Or get any level of the leather upholstery (starting at $750 for partial leather, plus $300 for the required sport buckets that are standard on the S) and the lumbar support becomes adjustable. see full Mini Clubman review |

2017 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 189hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Mini Clubman review |

Mentioned this before, but should be mentioned again and again. It's a compact ecoonomy car with luxury under-the-hood technology. see full Toyota Prius review |

Lack of lumbar support will translate into back fatigue on long trips. see full Toyota Prius review |
