Price Range: $23,700 - $24,050

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the MINI Cooper S Clubman to the dealership as the average wagon. Producing an accurate gas mileage evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the MINI Cooper S Clubman is the winner as far as gas mileage. The average wagon will tax your gas budget considerably more than the Cooper S Clubman will. The average wagon is significantly more expensive than the MINI Cooper S Clubman when it comes to MSRP. The Cooper S Clubman will save you a lots_of_money at the pump every year compared to the average wagon.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the typical wagon over the MINI Cooper S Clubman. The average wagon is likely a better choice than the MINI Cooper S Clubman with respect to hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of suitcases or sizeable dogs.

Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Cooper S Clubman than with the average wagon, as both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the average wagon offers a bit more head room than the MINI Cooper S Clubman, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the typical wagon make it substantially more spacious for your passengers than the MINI Cooper S Clubman.

Dimensions
The typical wagon is tremendously more bulky than the MINI Cooper S Clubman. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the typical wagon than the Cooper S Clubman because of its larger tank. The MINI Cooper S Clubman fits in smaller parking spaces than the average wagon. The MINI Cooper S Clubman's shorter wheelbase will likely give a sprier feel in daily traffic. On the flip side, the average wagon is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the MINI Cooper S Clubman and the typical wagon definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The MINI Cooper S Clubman's engine is tremendously smaller than the average wagon's. Remember that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. The Cooper S Clubman has no lessons to learn when it comes to torque from the typical wagon.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the typical wagon isn't quite as generous as the MINI Cooper S Clubman's.
