My GF has an 07 S (turbo), and it is pretty fantastic. I’d probably buy one over a new GTI because all new VWs are fat pigs. I have driven both the supercharged and turbocharged versions, and yes the turbo is better. Newman, I remember you wanted a Mini a while ago. Now you drive a lethargic automatic VW that gets lousy fuel economy. ---

Mini Pros: Good Gas Mileage ‘Fun’ to drive (subjective) Interior (subjective) Its a mini! Mini cons: Lackluster cargo space mini driver disposition (aka FGGTMOBILE) its a mini… Fuck it, e46s are getting so cheap now, just buy one of those. It will get you around, decent gas mileage, fun to drive, and you won’t look like a tool, just a spoiled bitch! FWD is overrated in the winter. I bet the e46 gets more women. ---

Spoken like someone who’s never sat in one. You can’t pack up and move across country in it, but 4 people can take a day trip, or 2 people can do a road trip, in plenty of comfort. Lots of passenger space. EDIT: vvv No idea what you’re talking about at all. It’s the roomiest interior I’ve had in any of my cars with the exception of my Ford Explorer. ---
