scotty_82 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Personally no , if the mini is solid underneath then to me it has far more character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunid-brake Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I wouldn't swap my gti for a mini although I do love them very much. Yours looks lovely but I can appreciate why you would want a loop gti. In my opinion it is the closest thing to the original mini in terms of size and character but with the modern build and styling. You should be able to get a nice loop gti for 5k with around that milage maybe less. I got my my a month or so ago for 6.5k with one owner and 20k on the clock. Good luck and welcome.

gucciwah Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 gti's are nice!! but if i had a mini annnnd its in good condition like the chasis and that underneath then i'd keep the mini because i think its just minted. hardly see a nice one anywhere and because im a short guy...its just perfect ha!

scotty86 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 mini is solid.heres somthing you dont relate to many mini's- theres no rust or rot on mine i take him off road during winter... best way they dont like it.iv just always fancied a gti- there prob is an attraction because its one of the closest modern day cars to a mini...

gucciwah Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 its up to you really, end of the day you're gonna be the one that'l be driving it lol. but tbh if someone got me a gti i'd take it straight away but if someone also gave me a no-problem-o mini (old one) i'd take it aswell ha.i'd say they're both rare cars tbh, how long have you had the mini for?

gucciwah Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 it looks pretty neat man!!well in my opinion, i think if you find a gti perfect for yourself then you should get one. seeing as you've already played about with a few mini's, might be nice to start something new!

Tigz™ Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Would I hell, the Lupo is as much fun (if not more so IMO) than the Mini, so what's the point n swapping something that handles like a Mini, but is as comfy as a car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 No way would I swap the Mini - so long as it's solid with no major problems! It's got so much more character than the Lupo (which has enough anyway!), I'd be keeping that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 If I was to be even tempted it would have to be a very early Cooper S.Actually I would seriously have to reconsider as we all know the Imp and it's derivitives are way cooler.
