Hi folks! I'm new around here and was wondering if you could give me a little help.... I'm looking at buying a new or almost new car for around £10k. I have 2 cars that I'm looking at; the Mini and the Gti. I've driven both the previous model and the brand new R56 model Coopers but I haven't driven a lupo (although my gran owns a little 1.0 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> ) I know its a smaller car but what is it like to drive compared to the Mini? Is it more focused? How does the engine sound, any nice exhaust popping? Also handling wise I know its not quite up to Mini standards but is it fairly easy to improve? Sorry for all the qu, there's just so few around I haven't been lucky enough to get my hands on one! Cheers, James.
