So which is a better car to buy ? their prices are around the same . . but would a Mini Cooper S be too much of a gurl's car ?
what are your opinions ? :?:

Both cars are around the same price and have similar power ourputs. One has four doors, the other two. One is AWD the other is Front Wheel Drive. A "gurls" car is a car that a woman owns and drives, it's not excusively sold to females or anything. People have diffrent tastes and styles, sorry you associate it with something to do with gener. For me? I dunno, I really like the Mini's styling and it's handling is awesome, even though it has FWD, opposed to AWD.
My customised Mini Cooper S would have the John Cooper Works package, the areokit, and the 6-CD changer, and bonnet stripes. So that factory total would be around 27k dollars, but it's be a much fatser Mini with the 200 hp. I'd also get some more mods from Mini Madness which would tack on 11k I think, and make it an even 250 hp, with upgraded brakes, wheels and tires, supension, body cross members, ect. The Impreza is almost 3000 pounds, but the Mini is only around 2500 pounds. So I'd go with the lighter, more fun to drive, and more distinguishable car.

i would buy the Subaru impreza, cause i really dont like Mini Coopers, but the subaru impreza is a rally car, so the specs arent that good on the road

Taking under consideration my current life status (age etc) I would take the Mini Cooper S, although I certainly wouldn't mind an Impreza. 8)

no way, a mini is alot more fun than a dinky impreza RS. The Impreza RS isn't really made to compete in the high performance segment. It competes against eco cars, such as the lancer and other things. Mind you, it's a big step up from those types of cars, but it's not as big as say a camrey or and accord, and not as well built as a 3 series or IS300. So he impreza falls through the cracks.

I would rather get an impreza RS2.5 it has more to offer and its AWD, the mini is a great car if not a bit overpriced there is a lack of trunk space in it and the ride comfort is not that great in it also, WIth the impreza if you feel the need for a turbo you cna always spend the extra 1K and get an after market turbo so you cna have your own WRX

Mopar I have one question for you? Do you have any idea what your talking about. You think that a Impreza can't handle??? You obviously have never driven one thus you can't comment on the handling of the car. Also, Subaru's, in general, are distinguished for the handling and "off road" capabilities. Anyways as far as the question goes I would go with the Impreza. I realize the Cooper S is possibly a bit quicker but I still prefer the Impreza's styling and feasibilty of modding.

I'd take the Mini, it's such a cool little monster! But i'd tune it a big though, a bit like Raith, but i think i would squeeze everything out of it's tiny engine.... Just for the thrill :wink: .

Compare with styling; Mini S wins, it has good shape for girls, small body.
Compare with weight; Mini S wins, 2,513lbs vs 2,965lbs.
Compare with power; Mini S wins, lightweight body with 163hp.
Compare with fun to have; 2.5RS wins, play around with modifications, add-ons, too many to play.
Compare with fun to drive; depend on your driving skill and styling.
just opinion. :wink:
