Hey guys, first post here.

I am a cameraman and I carry a lot of gear. I currently drive a older pathfinder.

I was just curious how many feet of distance there is from the back of the front seats to the tail gate area?

Bascially I have cart that would have to roll straight in, and I want to know how much depth there is to do it. None of the dealer have been able to tell.

I might go to one today to look for myself, but there is one that is very close. So, I figured I might try you folks first.

Thanks in advance.

 

55 inches (if you are tall and like the driver's seat well back) x 31 wide to the narrowest point x 17 below the parcel shelf with the flat load floor in place. And the load height is 26 inches.

 

hrm....might be too short...fudge. I need to take my cart to a mini dealer and see.

Sucks I really LOVE the hot chocolate clubman

 

Compromise? Sounds like a big heavy cart to me that might be able to be re-arranged somehow....you want a MINI...you know it!

 

I want a lot of things

I almost leased a VW R32 last night.

Ideally I want a Team Trails FJ Cruiser and Dodge Challenger to satisfy both my loves.

But I am a Caroholic and I love many cars. The mini clubman is on my list. assuming it can hold my gear.

 

The cargo space behind the rear seats (With the backs up) is 9.2 Cubic Feet. Remember that you have a "false" load floor in the trunk and that affords added space.

With both seatbacks reclined (Creating a full flat load floor) the space increases to 32.8 Cubic feet.

Hope this helps.

 

nah its not the cubic feet i needed. it was the footage of distance.

But its all good thank you.

I stopped by South Bay mini, and my cart does not fit. Its about 4" too long. Oh well. It did, however, just fit in the back of a VW R32...

decisions, decisions.

 

wow, that surprises me. I would have never assumed that the R32 would have more distance for storage in the rear than the Clubman. It just doesn't seem that way when you look at them. Good luck with those decisions.... I'm sure that we can find a fabricator to take 4" off that cart of yours.

 

Sounds like the Clubman is a perfect fit....its just the cart that needs to be replaced!

 

Yeah....The cart could actually be bigger, actually.

I do have a smaller version of the cart, but its not good for bigger commercials and features.

And yes, I was shocked it fit in the R32 as well. Had it been a 1/4" longer it wouldn't have.

Not even sure I'm getting the R32. The wife is brow beating me into keeping my pathfinder until we can pay off our wedding...sigh. Dream killers, i tells ya.

 

Did you check out the MazdaSpeed3? Much larger interior than the VW, if space is your concern. Also cheaper than an R32, and it's gotten pretty good reviews.

 

Only 4"? Just use a bungee cord to keep the doors shut when you have your cart in the back.

 

yeah...no.

 

thought about it, but they lease like ****. I dont think I want to own anymore. I get a better write off leasing, and I get tired of cars after a few years.

 

I am looking into getting the back of mine extended.

I have a couple of bass guitars that need to fit...

I will let you know how it goes...

 

Are you really considering getting your Clubman's length extended? A "stretch" Clubman? An unusual idea, to say the least. Who does that kind of work?

 

Oh, that would be so cool! Use it as a limo! Who's good with photo shop?
