Nonsense test!
If they'd put a sporty Mini against the sporty Fiat, you kno who the winner would be. THey did the same with a Skoda Fabia vrs (the fastest one) a while back against a Cooper. If it was against the fastest mini, the S, the Skoda would be blown away. I don't understand this, they base these tests on the cost, but so many of the other tests they do they say screw the costs, we'll test these wo cars together even thos there's a big difference in in the prices..
to Fifth Gear, Long Live Top Gear!!
Who also tested a Cooper against a Fabia VRS about 5 years ago
Very true.
You'll have a long time waiting for 1 "normal" car test, let alone 2 on TG though.
The Fiat tested isn't the sporty Abarth and its priced cheaper so it's a pretty good comparison. The Fabia VRS is actually cheaper than a Cooper so again a good comparison (the VRS isn't overtly sporty).
I've seen a few fiats around St Andrews n they look great...i would be very tempted to buy wan!...so wot if they not as fast!...."my "t*ts" are still bigger than yer "knob!"
:eyes up:

Oh I know that.. but it's the 'sportiest' in the Skoda range, While the Cooper isn't.. that's the point I was making..
..but seriously tho, if you were looking at a moderately sporty car in that price range.. would you seriously choose a Skoda over a Mini?
Not really as I can afford the extra for a MINI and don't need the extra space, however having driven the Skoda its a good car with plenty of poke.Oh I know that.. but it's the 'sportiest' in the Skoda range, While the Cooper isn't.. that's the point I was making..

Just started seeing these on the road the last few days , don’t know why it taken so long I seen one in a dealers and really like the 500. Mini wins me over as I have a history with Mini’s but I know someone who had an original
Great looking small car that looks fun to drive.
And don’t tell me its not affecting Mini sales, shocking that Fairbairns is now on the radio advertising there Mini garage.
Talking to the mechanic who has looked after my Honda and when I said Mini he just looked like I had said I’d just given that total stranger 10K for the fun of it. Seroisly over priced wee machines that they are.
