2009 mini cooper clubman Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Powertrains and Performance: The base Cooper Clubman is powered by a 1.6-liter inline-4 that produces 118 hp and 114 pound-feet of torque. The Cooper S raises the bar considerably, packing a turbocharged version of the base Cooper's four-cylinder that generates a robust 172 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque (192 lb-ft at full throttle, thanks to an "overboost" function). The John Cooper Works packs 208 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque (207 lb-ft with overboost). The regular Cooper and the Cooper S come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed automatic with manual shift control is... |

2009 MINI Cooper Clubman Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Relative to the regular Cooper, the Clubman's length is up 9.4 inches — about 6 percent — with the wheelbase extended 3.2 inches. Width remains the same, and height is up less than an inch. The extra length translates into a wider turning circle: It's 36.2 feet, versus the Cooper's 35-foot circle. Both figures are competitive with hatchbacks like the Volvo C30 and Mazda3. Like the Mazda RX-8, Toyota FJ Cruiser and most extended-cab pickups, the Clubman gets a rear-hinged access door to aid backseat entry. It's on the passenger side, and it blends in well with the car's styling. Not so... |

2009 MINI Cooper Clubman Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There was plenty of cargo space behind the rear seats for a full week's worth of groceries. With my springtime nesting instinct in full hatching mode, I dropped the kids off at school, removed their booster seats, folded the rear seats flat with a quick tug of the handle and drove off to the plant nursery. I managed to fit two huge hanging pots, four one-gallon containers of pincushion flowers and a flat of assorted veggie plants. I still had room to spare for a jasmine vine and accompanying trellis. Amazing! There aren't a ton of interior storage compartments, but there are enough to get the... |
