The Mini for me

[The Gravedigger]

The mini rules.... because I can actually fit in it (I'm shy of 2metres tall)

Also, the car looks brilliant, and goes pretty damn good aswell

[Andre_online]

The Mini is not cheap here... If you drive that car in Singapore, you can have bragging rights. It's that unique.

[SliM_880]

Smart car for me... I just love that siver on it in the pic you posted... and the rear lights... Just love it....

Adding to that its smart

[Hecubus]

The Smart car was sold in the US?

Meanwhile, this context seems a little apples to oranges. It's not as bad as some of the polls in this section (the "which one of the first five cars I could think of do you like most" kind), but the three cars really only share the common trait of being small.

I happened to pick the Mini, because as much as it's really a two seater (or a four-seater with a useless backseat and a non-existent trunk), it'd most likely be most fun to drive (then again, it's up against a car that probably needs to be measuring fractions of horsepower, and the Chevy Aveo/Suzuki Swift+)

Suzuki. Love the little things, look great and never die.

[A-spec]

Mini Cooper wins over all little cars. It is dam fast too. IMO

[master m]

Mini all the way But it has to be the Cooper S with 163hp.

The smart is just fugly and the suzuki isn't as well build as the other 2 (quality)

[corvyz6]

miniiiii!

[TheStig]

Hmm...

The mini is a car for wannebee posers that think they got a "classic"

The Smart is designed by a watch company.... nuff said!

the suzuki isn't as well build as the other 2 (quality)

*cough*Bulsh*t*cough*
the worst build car of the 3 is the Smart.
the Suzuki can take more punishment then a smart or a Mini. it's a low price no nonsense car. and it shows!
it might be dull but it is not a bad car. you just don't get much luxury and looks, but then again you don't pay for that where you do pay it for the pocket BMW and the fisher price mobile.

MINI Rulez my friend own a cooper s liwuid yelow color with black stripes it looks perfect inside is perfect and it realy is a beast on the street

[GioDeR]

The Swift looks cool, and Suzuki actually do well in JWRC! So out of this lot i got to go with that car!

[AZ]

Mini is the best

[Felixkissa]

Well if I had to choose one of those it would be the Mini, but I would never buy one in reallife coz I f**king hate small cars and I can't even fit in them that well.
Actually if I was given a Mini I'd propably sell it and buy something else

[Drewb99]

Mini S.

[donaldgladden]

lol omg

Slovenia
Suzuki 60
Mini 6
Smart 2


people must hate smarts and Minis.

[TheNoobofFerraris]

Hmm, you know there is only one logical choice. (:lol:)


The Cooper man.

[Rayquaza]

I think the Swift, looks best and really sporty, i love sporty

[boganbusman]

The mini is a car for wannebee posers that think they got a "classic"

Thankyou!

The new mini is bloody awful. It looks like a steaming pile of crap and it has no connection with the old mini, which is an awesome car.

[Fadeproof]

diont like any of them but if i had to choose id pick the mini

[xHaZxMaTx]

Definately the Mini.
