2010 MINI Cooper Clubman Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The MINI Cooper Clubman compact wagon receives only minor updates for 2010, including standard cruise control across the line and a new Hot Chocolate exterior color. The 2010 Cooper Clubman borrows heavily from the Cooper Base trim, delivering the same iconic exterior design, fuel-efficient engines, and sporty handling, although on a longer platform, resulting in additional interior space for passengers and cargo. MINI stretches the Clubman's wheelbase by 3.2 inches and its overall length by 9.4 inches, when compared to the Cooper Base, providing additional legroom and shoulder room for rear-seat passengers. In addition, the Clubman offers 9.18 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, a 61-percent increase over the Cooper Base's 5.7 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded flat, cargo space expands to 32.8 cubic feet, as opposed to 24 cubic feet in the Cooper Base.
The Cooper Clubman's right-side, reverse-hinged third door, which the automaker calls a club door, provides easy access to the rear seats. In addition, rather than a hatchback, the Clubman comes equipped with split rear "barn" doors, with left- and right-hinged swinging doors giving owners access to the rear cargo area.
For 2010, the MINI Cooper Clubman comes in three trims, including the Clubman Base, the Clubman S, and the Clubman John Cooper Works. All trims display a wide bulldog stance, with the wheels pushed all the way to the corners to ensure a low center of gravity, good balance, and capable handling. In addition, all Clubman trims feature an ultra-rigid body designed to reduce flexing and ensure a quiet cabin.
Each of the Clubman's three trim levels uses a different version of the same 1.6-liter four-cylinder powerplant. The engine powering the Clubman Base generates 118 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque, and drives the vehicle from 0-60 in 8.9 seconds. It links to either a Getrag six-speed manual transmission, which comes standard, or an optional six-speed Aisin automatic. Fuel economy numbers check in at 28/36 mpg.
The Clubman S features a turbocharged version of the same engine, which boosts horsepower to 172 and torque to 177 lb-ft. The turbocharged powerplant pushes the Clubman S from 0-60 mph in 7 seconds, and links to the same manual transmission or the six-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted Agitronic paddle shifters. Fuel economy numbers for the turbocharged powerplant drop to 26/34 mpg. The Clubman S also has a sportier suspension than the Clubman Base, with stiffer shocks and springs.
The Clubman John Cooper Works trim comes equipped with a larger version of the S's Borg Warner turbocharger, as well as direct fuel injection and modified cylinders and exhaust tuning. As a result, the performance-tweaked four-cylinder engine develops 208 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque. The engine links to a six-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter, which is the only transmission available on this trim. The Clubman John Cooper Works jumps out from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 147 mph. It also rides on a sport-tuned suspension, has an upgraded speedometer, and comes equipped with four-piston Brembo front brakes, which provide plenty of stopping power. MINI recommends premium fuel for all three versions of the four-cylinder engine.
Standard interior features for the Clubman Base include leatherette upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, a start/stop button, remote keyless entry, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, air conditioning, a climate-controlled glovebox, and an onboard computer with trip information and outside temperature displays. A six-speaker AM/FM audio system with a CD player, MP3 input jack, and automatic speed volume control also comes standard. The Clubman S adds front sport seats and aluminum-alloy foot pedals, while the Clubman John Cooper Works includes cloth rather than leatherette upholstery and stainless-steel foot pedals. A number of options, including a navigation system and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, are available.
Beyond that, owners can customize their individual vehicles in a variety of ways. MINI offers three roof colors, 10 different body colors, nine upholstery choices, six different types of interior trim, and five color lines, as well as a variety of wheel options.
All trims come standard with a wide range of safety features, including Dynamic Stability Control and four-wheel antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution. The Clubman John Cooper Works adds Dynamic Traction Control with electronic differential lock control. Six airbags, including front-seat-mounted side-impact and side-curtain airbags, also come standard. The Clubman Base rides on 15-inch alloy wheels, while the Clubman S receives 16-inch alloy wheels with an S-Winder design. The Clubman John Cooper Works rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels with a Challenge Spoke design.

We have really enjoyed the car. Fun to drive and great gas mileage. Service is only recommended once a year which makes it really inexpensive on the service side. Only reason we are selling is because we need a bigger vehicle for work purposes. May 11, 2012

Best used for fun. Lots of kick. Strong Brakes. Turns on a dime...literally. Built very strong. Very heavy for a little car. Needs mud flaps if you want to keep it clean. Car is extremely fun to drive. Inline 4 unlike no other. Turbo to boost.Feb 01, 2011

We barely have our Clubman for 3 weeks and so far I can't get enough of it! This pint size vehicle is unlike anything I've driven and never fails to excite. Start with tbe exterior - this is a vehicle of unusual proportion, even more radical than the regular wheelbased Cooper S. I especially like the elongated roofline that gently slopes backwards. Then there are these sleek wrap-around rear quarter windows for the enjoyment of the back passengers. Finally, those barn doors rear hatch mean business, and rightly so as afforded by the benefit of the extra 9" worth of Clubman exclusive wheelbase. It is, however, not without fault. The body panel gaps are not as tight fitting as most typical modern productions and the paint, despite the lack of orange peel (most noticeable on the flatter panels of other BMW vehicles) is very thinly cleared to make future spot repairs very limited. Otherwise, I am constantly "WOWed" by the stylized little design details found throughout the vehicle such as the (unnecessarily complex) dual exhausts and the curvy wrap around rubber bumpers/wheel arches/side skirts mouldings.
Climb into this seemingly mini-sized vehicle and the door closes with a decided "thump". The interior design follows the consistent oval theme. Material is top notch with all vinyl surfaces appropriately textured. Tactile feel is also very good, especially with the custom colour elbow rest and shin pads which are both well cushioned. The costly optional Launch Leather package buys you creamy soft full grain leather with double stitchings and white piping - very much in tune with the heritage of this British built vehicle. Due to the more than adequate head room as well as seat height, an upright seating position can easiily be achieved. The windshield does not rake much, giving a tremendous sense of space in front of the driver. Head and shoulder room is also surprisingly generous and I never rubbed elbows with Conny despite the unusually narrow centre console. The cockpit of the Clubman has to be experienced first hand for one to completely appreciate the uniqueness of the MINI culture.
With the press of a button, the engine fires up immediately and settles with a slight lump. Moviing off the line, the Clubman is only hampered by the noticeable delay of a slow to engage 6 speed automatic transmission. Throttle response is immediate with no noticeable turbo lag and torque is available just off idle. Power delievery is so linear I am unable to tell of the presence of a turbo under the hood (quite unlike the other Turbo I have in my garage). The BMW designed cylinder head utilising electromagnetic valve train (which now also functions as the "thottle") is responsible for the immediacy of power output. Depress the accelerator ever so gently in any gear and you will be rewarded by an instantaneous push-in-the-back. This is a prime example of how F1 racing technology can improve the breed and the type of advancement automanufacturer odd to impress their customers with (rather than bringing garbage such as LED driving light, mirror cover turn signal, non-functional front fender styling grills, unnecessarily large rims/low profile tires, dual mufflers/exhausts, etc.).
Most amazing of the whole Clubman package is its chassis. Here the benefit of its short wheelbase is fully explored by means of the pin-sharpe steering response. No car can turn-in so abruptly it is almost brutal. You can keep steering the vehicle, make mid-turn corrections whenever you like and the car will point to whatever directions you choose. There is hardly any body row/dive/squat as the suspension is very stiffly sprung, yet any pavement undilations are also adequately damped such that the car would never step out of line. How is it possible for such short wheelbased and dynamically responsive vehicle to not loose its composure (and espescially its rear end} during such demanding driving condition? I already knew the answer when I had the chance to examine the rear suspension setup while I labour through putting snow tires on this vehicle. Where other manufacturers of front drive vehicles may place significant emphasis on the front suspension setup (afterall, 60-65% of the vehicles' weights rest on that end) to the extend of putting double wishbones (such as the previous generations of Honda/Acura}, BMW knows to bone up on the Clubman's rear by using the multi-link "z" axle (found in the more recent generatiions of 3 series cars}. The cast aluminum trailing "z" arm on the Clubman is so substantial I don't think I can find the same even on my 400+ hp Porsche Turbo (which is primarily rear-wheel-drive}! I think BMW, being a builder of rear drive vehicle, does not have lesser parts for the Clubman's rear end in its parts bin to begin with, may as wel had decided to apply its experience in rear drive chassis to use in the MINI and this results in the dynamically amazing handling characteristic of this vehicle.
Since this is Conny's daily driver, ride quality/comfort counts. The Clubman's chassis bottoms out (due to lack of suspension travels) regularly when poor pavement is encountered, but never harsh, thanks probably to the heavy use of rubber bushings typical in most BMW's suspension. Directional stability is also surprisingly good due to the heavily weighed electrically assisted steering. There is no wandering at highway speed even on windy days. No creaks/rattle were noticeable either - chassis stiffness is comparable to that of my Porsche 911. Overall, this is a very capable road handling machine, more hardcore than suggested.
The Cooper S Clubman is a rare gem. It is an extremely well handling vehicle where its limits are accessible in most daily driving conditioons. This car feels so nimble and precise even a true sport car (like my Porsche Turbo) may not be as much fun to drive on the street (it will be a different story on the track of course}. This car is also all about style too. All the exterior and interior trims and materials are custom ordered to your desire (but it also took 6 long weeks before it arrives from Oxfordshire, England). You thought you bought into an alternative lifestyle, think again, this is every bit a practical vehicle with leg room for adults in the back seats, trunk space for grocery (bearly), and fuel efficency of 11 L/100km (being driven with my heavy foot). Driving this vehicle is like putting on a smiling face, the tremendous pressure is being lifted off you shoulders. You learn to enjoy every moment driving it and feeling every detail of the environment you are in, listening to the deep, mesmerising exhaust notes in the background, as if the sun is shining all the time....Jan 18, 2010

2010 Mini Clubman unusual water issue
When my 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman S gets wet (rain, wash) the entire dashboard goes haywire, and the rear third break light goes out. Once it dries, everything goes right back to normal. I have cleaned out all the drains in the roof, the firewall, and replaced the windshield cowl. What could be causing the problem still?

Low Price suggestion compared to market. Low MPG posted compared to facts
This is my first time using Car Gurus, but I'm not impressed so far. I have looked at comparable cars and for some reason (I assume they pay you) clearly "lesser" vehicles are getting higher "fair values" (older with more miles and clearly lesser condition)... why? how do I control that point? Second, CG auto posts MPG stats which do no reflect my actual experience in my car... how do I fix that??
