Audi A3 or if pennies permitted an S3 or perhaps a decent spec Golf GTi or another decent spec 1 series

I'd prob go for either a golf, a civic, or a scirocco. An s2000 or masda x5 if carrying luggage or bodies was not to be an issue.

We just had this dilemma - although it was for increased boot/passenger space over what the Mini offers.

Looked at the A3 Sportback, new Golf, Civic, Seat Leon & BMW 1 series.

We ended up buying a cracking Civic EX 2.2 CTDi with most of the toys that the Mini has, and some nice other ones that it doesn't - as it has factory satnav it also gets rear parking sensors with reversing camera :cool:

I'd have probably kept to my Honda's with a new Type S, I did look at a Golf GT before the Mini.

Well considering the last car I had before I got into the NEW MINI thing :rolleyes: was a 300bhp Scooby in red, I guess I would have to say it would be the scoob :clap:

...Damn I miss it so much too :Whistle:, if it wasn't for the fuel in this country being so damned expensive and me feeling like I was getting mugged every time I went to the pumps I probably would still have it or another one. God damn fuel companies and government :moonie:

R32, 1 series coupe, Golf GTI, Scirocco, Honda FD2 Type R and an s3.

I could never choose out of those!

I'd have to say either a Scirocco, S3 or Golf GTI. Haven't driving any of them, but i'd imagine they'd all be roughly the same, which to some extent, makes the Mini so good!

Wait a minute. Is this thread about what you might have in reality or what you'd dream about having? :lol:
(He says trying to clarify the Mondeo choice..... :Whistle:)

It will be real world choices. Think what the mini cost you but if there wasnt a mini where would the money be spent.

If there was no mini..then I would save a megaaaaaa fortune..cos I'd stay in..cos whats the point in driving anywhere..it would be no fun..and as a result of not going anywhere I would be saving money cos I wouldnt be spennding it on a load a rubbish..and petrol too :lol:

would probably result in me being out in town on a tuesday weds thurs fri sat! ha ha

+1 Though driven a GTI, on a private road - the type that actually exist, was awesome for the couple hundred yards. Still miss my mk4 golf though it was just too slow being a 1.4

Scirocco. Looked at the Seat Ibiza FR before getting the mini (was probably nearer my budget than the Scirocco)!
