MF just needs to stop doing reviews. Period. The only reason to read them at this point is they've become an excellent parody of themselves.
MF thoughts on the original Clubman:
While we thought it was an admirable compromise between space and performance, the vehicle’s sales made the point black and white that the public generally did not.
That's because "the public" is objective, while MF is not; it exists solely for fawning reviews on anything MINI so they can occasionally get a relatively meaningless tidbit of information a day or two earlier before everyone else. Read an MF review, then compare it to a review from any respected automobile mag, it's hard to believe it's the same car...
Motor On MF!
