We love supercars more than anything else, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a good builder’s van once in a while. In fact, we had a lot of fun with the VW T5.
The Ford Transit, VW Transporter, the Opel Combo and Mercedes Citan – these are all van that are nice to look at, like somebody actually though them through. But somehow, in this competitive market, the MINI Clubvan is winning awards.

The all-new MINI Clubvan has picked up its first award after winning the Editor’s Choice award at the 2013 What Van? Awards. It was praised for its handling and style, which supposedly aren’t found in this market.

“The arrival of the MINI Clubvan is the most exciting and charismatic entrance into the light commercial vehicle arena for many years, offering small businesses in particular the opportunity to run a vehicle that combines workman-like light van practicality with a style not currently available, and that’s without mentioning MINI’s unrivalled driving pleasure and good fuel efficiency,” said What Van? Editor Paul Barker. “It’s fair to say we’re looking forward to the Clubvan’s arrival, and it will offer small van users something unique and appealing.”

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
