I think this variant needs its own thread...

If you need a 5 door car, why not just buy a Golf? How many variants can you spin on a car who's very name means small!?

Yes, the Golf is a good car.

I just think if you need 5 doors, there's plenty of choice without a stretched mini. I know BMW like their niches, but this is stretching it IMO

you are more than likely correct ,but as with most things if they (BMW) build multi car types they will sell them ,gone are the days that BMW are niche builders (including MINI) its hard not to spot BMW/MINI on the road these days.

I know, I know their reasons. Just that badge engineering disappoints me that's all. It's an awfully crowded sector to sell a 5 door hatch in, and I wonder how much more fun to drive it would be than a Focus for example

Just to throw a bit of a curve ball. It would be great for me. I'm not fussed about the extra space in the back but for fixing a car seat onto an Isofix base it would be super handy rather than having to maneuver the seat through a tight space and twist your back in all sorts of directions. But that said, it's about the only bit of practicality I can think of!
