2006 | 2dr Convertible 115-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The rear seat is usable only as a package tray, though it does serve to hold a second carry-on bag. see full Mini Convertible review |
2018 Mini Clubman Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |
