Want to replace the Citroen C2 with a new car. Short list has the Golf GTI (3 door ... no Sirocco in Australia .. yet) and Mini JCW at the top. The car has to be fun to drive (number 1 priority) and able to be flicked for a Mercedes C63 estate (or equivalent) in 3 years time (ie: resale value is a consideration).
Have driven the Golf (with DSG gearbox) and was very impressed .. change down throttle blips and over-run pops always impress me ..... lol. Have only driven the standard Mini so far ... steering on this seems to be more direct (than the Golf) and the driving experience (handling) just a little more visceral.
Obviously .. the Golf is the more practical (and better value) .. but do any here have thoughts on the comparison/decision?
