My mate had an original Mini as his first car. All of us loved our first cars but you can just tell no one loved theirs quite as much as him.
Awesome to drive, they can't physically go too fast and they handle like a go kart. Plus the cool factor, of course.
My other mate had a Corsa C as his second car and it was pretty much a money pit, piece of crap car. Oh and on the way to MK on the M1 his sisters Seicento (sp?) was pulling away.

Mini for the fun factor.
They're not that safe in a crash mind.
I'd pass on any corsa up to the new shape Vxr tbh.

minis are definitely much more fun
can be unsafe in a crash but my cousin crashed hers into another car with me as passenger, both cars were written off but the only injurys we got were broken toes and whiplash.
corsas are just rank, horrible to look at and horrible to drive

Mini by a mile. I really really want one but I don't think I can be arsed with the rot. I can go for up to six weeks at a time without a day spare and with a car that's going rotten it's probably not good :/

The mini will probably sell for the money you paid for it, or even more too. The only corsa worth owning is one with an engine conversion or the vxr

Corsa. Yes there rubbish and chav but its a newer car thatll be carrying a lot less rust, be more reliable and be nicer to drive in the way of comforts..
I reckon what it is in realitly is she wants a corsa and you want her to buy a mini as it was the car you really wanted a 17.

I drove a mini briefly a few months back. Brilliant fun but would get tiring on a run.

I love that on saxp when a saxo breaks it's just been poorly maintained, yet when a corsa breaks it's because it's shit.
Irony.

I bet if you go on a corsa website it'd be the opposite lol.
