What is it like compared to a regular MINI, is it practical, what about "the" door, rear visibility etc. ?????

I had it all last week picked it up Sunday and returned on saturday so had it a whole week. The first thing I noticed when I took out the garage was the lack of power it was a diesel but the extra weight sure slows it down lol. Ofcourse my Mini has done 8500 mile in its 5 mth life and this clubby had only 3200 miles on it ( well an extra 450 miles after I finished with it lol). Overall I started to like it by the end of the week.
1. I managed to bring a towbar home in it from work which would not have been possible in my own car.
2. As long as u dont look back its like driving any other mini
3. I had 4 passengers in it who felt there was definately an improvement in rear space however suicide door is questionable.
4. Rear vision thru back window was ok once I was into my 3rd or 4th day of use but rear window did get dirty quick.
5. Amazed at how many people stopped and stared even had a girl in the petrol station say she was admiring my Mini wow!!! dont get that with my own.
6. Would I buy one well YES but it would have to be an "S" it would be ideal for camping
