The difference is that when in other situations, like in a car park or in your own driveway or in your garage, you now have better accessing options, particularly if you have kids to deal with. Easier to place a car seat back there, or belt up kids w/o car seats. Makes it easier for the driver in RHD markets to put packages in the back seat; no need to go to the rear if you don't feel like it. The consensus in most reviews outside of Clarkson is that it offers much more practicality (better access, more cargo volume, can now seat 6-footers) while sacrificing little in driving fun. The blind spot is a legit concern though. | |

The Clubman is nothing more than a dubious marketing effort. My comments posted elsewhere in Clubman threads remain. Whilst BMW's marketeers may be able to justify the raison d'etre behind the Clubman, the point remains - the Clubman has no real motoring merit over the Mini.
