While estates and station wagons are tough to come by in South Africa, you'll have no problem finding a MINI Clubman, which is, believe it or not, classified as an estate.

In fact, the boot space in the Clubman comes in at 360-litres as opposed to 211-litres of the 3-door and 278-litres of the 5-door Cooper version.
