Well, now that you've said it's mainly only for you, then definitely go for the Mini. Think of it as a premature midlife crisis solver

I just got a 2005 MINI Cooper (Got it March of this year). It's so much fun to drive but I've had some problems. On the 2005.5 models, MINI added a sensor for the passenger seat to deactivate the airbag if the person is under 90lb. That sensor went out three weeks into owning the car (the car was in the shop for almost a month). Now I have another problem, and it more serious since it has to do with the paint. I live in Colorado, so there's always sand on the road. A rock chipped the hood, a small chip about 7mm long. But this chip caused the clear coat to come off, so I have a section about the size of a silver dollar on the hood without clear coat and the paint is oxidized. So I'm fighting with the dealer to get this fixed, since they won't fix it since it was caused by a rock (Which shouldn't matter, especially on a car this new.)

So if you want to take a chance on a fun ass car, then the MINI all the way. But be warned that there may be a few problems along the way...

not accurate. you have to get the four banger in the Accord to get better gas mileage than teh Saab, but it won't perform as well as the saab.

the V6 is a bit more money than what i'm looking to spend.

so i like the 2 choices i put in the thread.

then buy the 4 cyl. saabs suck minis suck ass too if you want me to be more accurate/honest. with the accord you still get performance, looks and gas mileage.

the saab is more practical

but imho the mini is more fun to drive

and the way you start a saab fvcking sucks. and if you get a stickshift getting your key out of the ignition fvcking sucks too
