I simply can't get over how cheap cars are in the US.

Hard to pick one in this comparison, the only really weak point for the Cooper is the interior and the strange fact that it seems to be more expensive than the 1-seris makes it second this time.

btw, the cute one is the Cooper!

BMW for reasons of comfort, as a daily driver you don't wont a firm ride such as in the Mini so I'd take the aggressive Beemer (and I really like them

Definitely the Mini! Looks perfectly retro, and goes like a go-kart!
