Gee, I never would have thought that there'll be votes in a poll + topic accidentally posted in the wrong forum.

With all the stupid ideas and decisions VW is making nowadays, Mini's for me. (I was at first both a VW and Mini supporter) The only way VW's gonna get me to buy a car from them is if they throw in an EF 600mm f4L for free :)

Well, I believe the VW focuses a little faster, but the Mini provides sharper IQ. The build qual....Oh! Never mind.:)

Yeah, but they are both too small to comfortably hold without a grip. :p

Well if you're a hairdresser you could have any of them:)


I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

One is a just re-skinned Golf that is:-
Too expensive (fact)
Impractical - no storage space (fact)
Dishonest- it ain't got an aircooled engine in the rear (fact).
Ugly (opinion)


The other is my baby :)

Mini coops have very bad QC. They are actually rated one of the worst cars to own in 2006.

With the chance of 2 Mini's being exactly the same being very very very very (say it 100 times) slim, these things are essentially custom built to order. Too few number of Rolls Royces to see if the "custom made=problematic low QC" string is true though :lol:

The survey you quote can't refer to the car we're discussing here, since it wasn't launched until the end of 2006.
