| Cooper is the drivers car, more nimble and agile but the Scirocco looks better. But I go with the Scirocco, afterall I have the car on my shoppinglist for my possible next car.

| Cooper S, no doubt one of the most agile and engaging cars to drive at any price. It's an absolute hoot. It's also quite sophisticated despite its old-school persona. However, its image and interior are a problem for me. Scirocco has a far more appealing style, sophistication and interior modernism compared to the MINI. Also, I believe that the chassis is the more versatile of the two across all grades of tarmac. I've yet drive the Scirocco but I'm sure it'll delight.

| Easy. It has to be the Cooper S. It is as fast as the Scirocco on track even if it has 25 hp less. The tested Cooper S did not even have the optional LSD. I have yet to drive the Scirocco but my guess is that the MINI will have the edge in the driving dynamics department. Looks? They don't even compare.

| Mini Cooper S for me. Crazy car and very agile as well! Very fun car. The scirocco must be good as well, but i don't like the looks... PS. I have not driven the 2.0TSI version, but i tried the 1.4TSI 160hp engine and it's a fabulous car to drive. Much better and sporty feel than the Golf VI, which i drove as well. I may get a new Gold next month, so i spent a lot of time inspecting the latest VWs...
