After having owned a MINI and going into 2010, what would you guys buy if for some reason you were going to trade your MINI in. If you MINI is a daily driver, pick something you could drive every day. If it is a weekend car, pick something you'd drive on the weekends.

Myself, I'd be going for the 2010 VW GTi

Daily drive/fun car

 

We know it'll be QUITE a while until we get another car we really want (might pick up a beater somewhere in-between) but right now the only car we've seriously mentioned is the Audi R8.

 

BMW E46 or E92 M3.

 

Double post (thanks, site issues!!)

 

honestly i wish i could trade in(not necessary yet) for a brand new r53. i love my car, loves the body of the r53, not sure i'd buy an r56. if i had to choose a non mini it'd probably be a certified used bmw of some sort.

 

I'd get a MazdaSpeed 3. 263hp great handling and the same price as a MCS.

 

The MINI's paid for so it's not going anywhere but for 2010 I'll take an Alfa Romeo Mito Delta Version with the 280hp 2.0L

 

Toyota Tundra

 

 

While I can think of lots of exotics I would like I do have feeling for this car.

 

We paid a lot less for our Speed 3 than MINI wanted for a new MCS. Like 5 grand less, comparably equipped (the only option we didn't get was navigation). Granted, the Mazda had been on the lot a few months, but it still had less than 100 miles on the odometer. If they had been closer in price, and my MINI dealer didn't low ball us on a trade in offer for our old MINI, I'd be driving a new 2009 MCS right now instead of a 2006 MC convertible.

If I absolutely couldn't have a MINI, I'd probably get a Subaru. We have lots of snow here, and I like the AWD.

Golf R

 

Used: any BMW E36, a classic Mini
New: Caterham Roadsport. ...and I would drive it every day.

 

I would drive this to work

 

Two votes for Golf R.

 

If I could ever hit the $#&^% Lotto or *$%#^ powerball I would probably buy an Audi R8. I would still keep my JCW though.

What down the hallway?

 

They had one of these on Top Gear, seemed to like it a lot. Excellent for driving down hallways, and actually fits in an elevator.

 

No reverse though.

 

HAHAH. that scene had me laughing so hard. when he drove through the news broadcasting.
