Toyota Venza vs. MINI Cooper S Clubman Review

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Toyota Venza packs quite a wallop and will knock the MINI Cooper S Clubman down a few rungs. On the flip side, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the MINI Cooper S Clubman and the Toyota Venza quite certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Venza's engine is tremendously more sizeable than the MINI Cooper S Clubman's. Note that more massive engines may use more gas than smaller ones. The Toyota Venza has no lessons to learn when it comes to pickup from the MINI.

Utility
The Toyota Venza will most certainly prove more convenient than the MINI Cooper S Clubman for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. There's no clear winner between the Venza and the MINI Cooper S Clubman when it comes to hauling capacity.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly take the MINI Cooper S Clubman for a fill-up roughly as often as the Toyota.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Toyota Venza offers a bit more head room than the MINI Cooper S Clubman, there really isn't much of a difference. The Toyota Venza offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the MINI Cooper S Clubman does.

Dimensions
The Toyota Venza is tremendously more bulky than the MINI. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Toyota Venza than the MINI because of its bigger tank. The MINI Cooper S Clubman fits in smaller parking spaces than the Toyota. The Cooper S Clubman's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a nimbler feel in daily traffic than the Toyota Venza.

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

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota Venza isn't quite as generous as the Cooper S Clubman's.
