The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
8.6
7.0
TCC’s Bottom Line
More capacity, more practicality, and just as much sport and style, the 2012 MINI Cooper Clubman strikes a balance between family and fun. The appeal of the 2012 Scion iQ minicar is limited; but for parking-challenged urban dwellers, it's charming.
