Question New Mini vs New Beatle

I think that New Mini is good cars. I like Mini design and characteristics. Mini Cooper is very good car. But i dont like Beatle design.
If to me have offered to choose between the Bug and Mini pass I precisely would buy last. And you?

I think I would side with you on this one and go with the Mini. I'm not to keen on the design of the beetle.

I think I would take the mini too, it actually has a little bit of a race heritage, looks (a little) better than the beetle, and is made by BMW

Most definately the Mini. The Bug looks like it was beat with the ugly stick.

















Twice.

Nah Beetle Turbo Sports is a lot better than Mini Cooper. 180hp 1.8T engine and a lot of tuneability. If you are talking about Mini Cooper S than I would pick the Chrysler engine powered supercharged mini.

I wouldnt buy either theyre both overpriced slo novelty cars.

If I had to choose Id pick the Mini. The beetle aint nothing but an unpractical version of a golf. Take it everybody has seent eh depth of the dashboard in a beetle. How ugly is that

MINI as the Beetle is just an over-glorified Golf, which is a shit car in its' own right

I would go with the MINI, jus because that BMW is designed it and is responsible for all MINI manufactures.:smoker2:

yeah, mini for me, look at the pic, it might be a small little "novelty" car, but at least they tried to give it some pleasing asthetics (wheras the beetle looks like an up-side-down bathtub with wheel wells ) The only thing that looks kinda poor on the mini's is the side mirrors.
