The Clubman is 9 inches longer then its Hatchback brother. The wheelbase is 2 inches longer, and it only weighs 150lbs more. All the weight is behind the rear wheels so it makes it handle a little different. But thats not a bad thing, its just a thing. You get three inches behind the front seat and six behind the back seat. They are a great car no matter what!

I call it a Sports car. My insurance company and the Department of Transportation call it a station wagon, mostly because of the seating in the back. The classification allows for a lower insurance rate but the driving is definately SPORT!
