...let the mass debate commence :smilewinkgrin:

Jeepers the comparison pic really emphasises the massive front overgang.

You wouldn't use a classic everyday, but it would be more fun to drive. Equally so you wouldn't run a One as your weekend fun car, with a boring daily.

Bit of a pointless test really IMO

I think you'll find that if they made the classic the same size the overhang would be almost identical.

I don't think this is a versus I think it's showing how cars have progressed over the years.

Yes the original mini is a legend, but not really a viable everyday option for most people today.

I do like Classics but just not enough to own one again.

worked on the classics when they were new and that was enough ,massive problems everyday indeed even before PDI,rose tinted spectacles needed ,but quite sure people will still love them, and why not ,if everyone was the same it would be very boring.

Very true Brian.
