I would choose dignity and take the bus.

Clubman. Because barn doors are the coolest form of rear automobile egress.

I actually like the lines of the clubman a lot more.

Unfortunately I've only driven a clubman about 30 feet, and it was an automatic, so I can't really compare it to the first generation Cooper S i drove.

Clubman, more room for the dog.

Clubman - I play the bass and I was always a big fan of the old mini wagons.

If I'm honest... Neither.

Neither car carves a niche that appeals to me. There are other, faster hot hatches out there that I can get for much less that do a lot more.

That said, I'd take the wagon. Clubman (despite my dislike for the styling).

Clubman, because my family had a first year nonS one and it was so much fun

If you need the extra space Clubman, otherwise Cooper.

The Clubman. So much impracticality and goofiness can't go unrewarded.

Mini's are second to smart cars as the cars people keep for the shortest period of time.

For the money I'd pick something else (Citroën DS3, Peugeot 208 GTI, something like that), but out of these two I'd pick the Clubman. Less conventional and more practical.

Clubman.

It's more practical, I think it looks better and love the barn doors, and I have a shot at fitting my MTB back there. Plus, there's only 65 extra kg so it should remain quite OK performance wise.

And it's a small performance wagon with barn doors. Come on!

Mine would have to be British Racing Green on black, no stripes.
