Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Definitely the Golf - I have had a mk5 Gti, A3 with same engine, and a cooper S, and the golf is way better - mini is poorly packaged inside, and ride is shite

Worth getting last weeks autocar, they have an article on 5k hot hatches

Run flats are the problem on the Mini.

16" wheels on standard tyres will make such a difference.
