Interior

You’d be seriously shocked by how much usable interior space the Clubman offers. There’s plenty of legroom in the second row for kids and their backpacks, which always seem to end up on the floor of the second row. There’s even enough legroom for an adult in the backseat. Although there’s enough room for a rear-facing infant-safety seat, I wouldn’t want to be ducking under the Clubman’s low roofline to buckle an infant or toddler into a car seat.

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 job done. I appreciated the in-door cargo bins in the front doors and rear hatch doors; they come with blue LED lights to help you see what’s in there at night. My daughters got tons of use out of the cupholders in the second row. If only they’d use them for cups! Instead, they were utilized as Wikki Stix storage compartments.

My biggest complaint about the Clubman is noise: road noise and engine noise, but mostly wind noise. My test car had the optional $250 roof rails and the $1,000 panoramic sunroof. While the sunroof is lovely, when combined with the roof rails they made a maddening sound, as if the sunroof were propped open at all times. This interfered with family conversations, and it interfered with my emerging audiophile tendencies, competing for ear space with my music.
