Ive used better second pictures of both to show potential as well as standard.
-
oh god, R32 definitely. Even though I'd go for a standard GTI if I had the choice. Clubman looks a bit rubbish.
-
i appreciate most prefer the GTI front. Someone on the R32 forum seems upset he doesn't own a mini clubman ad thinks the R32 is ugly....why he bought it i dont know :laugh:
-
Do you really need to ask ?.VW all the way.
-
Is this a serious question? :huh:
-
gotta be a joke, r32 wins on every level :grin:
-
R32.
-
32 all the way :wink: clubman is horrible :sick:
-
clubman?? :sick:
-
Why oh why did vw not sell white 32,s in the uk?? big mistake i think, white seems to be the colour of choice at the moment... :wink:
-
R32 all day long... :wink:
-
lol, love the way someone has voted for a clubman, gotta be a pi$$ take

Theres 20 iirc in the Uk. All bought though now.
-
I personally don't thing the R32 is pretty - something about the chrome effect front and the central twin pipes at the rear (would have preferred them at either corner), but that Mini Clubman is a DOG (with all due respect to our 4 legged friends :kiss:)
R32 without any doubt :wink:

Then again, this may be slightly biased - asking this question on a Golf forum and all ;)
-

True but against a clubman?? :grin: :grin: :grin:

Yep, 4wd V6 cars are of course 'ghey' when lined up against something like the mighty MG
:laugh:

bhp/l?
-
Couldnt care less. Previous car was 110bhp/l and this does 0-60 in 5.7 secs which is enough for me
The fastest mg was a maestro built over 20 years ago (dont even get into that piece of sh!t that was the xpower :laugh: )
-

tested? i think that is a little over optimistic.
-
Yep. Was on a 1/4 mile.
-
clubman is just gross :sick:
-
Although teh clubman looks gross, it does drive nice, and does have some good pulling power!
-
Clubman does look awful, but agree with ifti - its a cracking car to drive
-
Had 2 minis previous to my 32, a cooper then an S, im a fan of them but hate the new shape, main reason i didnt get one really as they are a great drive and tuning potential is damn good aswel.

-
both pretty ghey.
you should get on with them quite well then!
-
Only a MK5 owner could come up with such a daft question. :tongue:
-
What kind of question is this? No contest surely R32 all the way.
-
surely this is a joke, i no next post should be something like blanch from coronation st or michelle marsh lol R32 obviously that mini thing is terrible banish them now please :laugh:
-
MINI no one will steal that :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
Minis are for housewives who still think of themselves as cool, hairdressers and tufty haired faggs who spend hours in the mirror :sick:(bit like MG's really)
-
My sister has a Mini Cooper S :angry:
But otherwise I agree :D
-
Soz mate :embarassed: :laugh:
-
Isnt a joke, a guy on r320c is honestly gutted he had to buy an R32 over the clubman, he wanted an S edition (the brown pic) but they wont release it here.
:grin:
-
2007 Topgear ugliest car of the year was...... The mini Clubman!

Yep, i really don't give a turd how good they handle they are just :sick: :sick: :sick: looking, plus the stupid double side doors open onto the road cos they dont change the layout from the LHD version.

Whats his name ??? Mr S.Wonder or Mr D.Blunkett ???
-
Personally I wouldn't put these 2 cars in the same league... R32 all the way for me. The regular cooper S might be a better comparison but I would still rather have a GTI or an R32. But maybe that's just because I am 6' 4" and would look ridiculous in a mini :grin:
-
Maybe thats just because I am 6' 4" and would look ridiculous in a mini :grin:
whereas driving a mid-sized hatchback with parking sensors makes you cooler than cat's pyjamas.

yea, just how i imagine you look in your Rover :grin:

my mate works for the local bmw dealership as a mechanic in the workshop and even he said the mini is a terrible car not just looks etc but the actual cars have so many common faults and warranty recalls etc, my missus was going to buy one last year and asked my mate for some advice and he told her to steer well clear so now she got a mk6 fiesta ST lol whats that say :laugh: ford fiesta over a bmw mini oh plus the fact that the fiesta would trample all over the normal cooper and would be sniffing the arse of the cooper s version =bargain :grin:
-
The fiesta also has one of the best chassis you can get in a hatch, great fun cars :cool:
-
il second that jules goes round the twisty's as well as my gti lol
-
From my experience of mini's (cooper s) are fantastic cars!!
My x used to have one a fair few years back (02) and it was a brilliant car. Never missed a beat, great fun to drive (if a little firm), and have held their value very very well over the years... in fact I cant think of a car that has held their vaule as well. The only downside is small boot, nice looking but cheap plastic interiors, and silly speedo unless you get the sat nav. Apart from that I loved driving it.... Im not too familiar with figures but im sure the ST would struggle to keep up with the cooper s.
Would I get one???? hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhell no :grin:
-
i think the st and cooper s are very similar regarding fugures not certain, il have to check lol
