The Clubman Cooper D's driving enjoyment and performance are first rate.
As with petrol versions of the sporty Clubman, the Cooper D has precise steering, great body control and bags of character. The 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine is refined and never has to be pushed hard, while the ride is superb. BMW has has managed to get the balance of efficiency and pace spot-on – the Cooper D proves it’s cool to be green. ·
