Question:
mini or smart forfour ? i say smart

Choices:
smart forfour
mini

 

no

definitely the Mini, & i'd ignore the smart forfour anyway in favour of mitsubishi colt

I'd ignore both in favour of a Colt CZT, but if I had to choose between the two, it would be the Smart.

At least this was original and fresh.

The Mini is a bloated BMW, one of the only profitable marques Rover had until BMW took anything of value and ripped the company off when it bailed out. No wonder Rover never stood a chance!

ForFour for me.

It's a funky little car.

Ford Fiesta.

Small cars have their place, and that is to be sensible, cheap-to run everyday cars, which should be good quality and good to own and drive.

The mini is becoming crass, and isnt very well made. Estate agent fodder, for those with brylcream in their hair.

The smart is utter, utter rubbish. Wouldnt you ever feel a dork driving that around. Noddy's car.

ford fiesta? thats just a shitenheapen

Haha barky!

It may not be exciting, but it does what small cars are supposed to do... whereas minis etc are pretentious

what would you have instead of a fiesta?

I wouldn't really want a car of this size/ type BUT if pressed it would be between a honda jazz or skoda fabia

voted Mini...but I'm having 2nd thoughts.

Yeh the Skoda Labia isnt a bad old thing to be fair.


Cant bear small hatchbacks myself, tend to associate them with appalling (often female) drivers but the labia would be ok.. getting old now though.

How about a renault clio like Andy's? Theyre probably the best of the lot to be fair

Mini. But either is great as one is built by BMW and the other is part of Mercedes-Benz!

I have to agree on the size front though. The mini is huge. As are most cars in this sector. I once saw a Nissan Micra with 5 adults in it!

That's just too tempting for Palmira, Roma!

Smart Brabus with larger turbo, ECU remap and atmospheric wastegate please!

5 adults in a micra, were they being over-friendly?

They were all blokes as well!

mini drives well, handles superbly..german take on classic brit...an album of the beatles greatest hits played by the scorpions...??..smart for four is mitsubishi with german hat...like a tokyo karaoke bar having a kraftwerk night...yuck...love the wee smart for two and coupe tho..gearchange is still appaling tho....would def have the mini out of the two of em...but can think of dozens of other modes of transport id probably pick instead..pogo stick, space hopper etc..ha ha...na seriously i dont think the mini is a bad car, familiarity, as with the audi tt, breeds contempt......
