Sorry, truth be told i've skimmed through this really quickly, saw you replied so i wrote a quick one back while i was busy with school crap.
Also, I'll have to admit i didn't realise the Elise was so much higher, i thought it'd have double the failure rate. Also, lots of people who buy the Mini buy it with a ton of extras. My bro's cost £16k and for that money (and from BMW) we did expect better. I'm not gonna argue, i'm getting a fiat if i do well in exams and i don't expect that to be perfectly reliable but the dealership said that the Mini's weren't very reliable (BMW dealership, not Fiat, obviously), but I'm not sure. Just a few bad experiences with my bro and other people i know.
I'd still take an Elise, just because i want one, lol.
Haha, I think most of us would still take the Elise as the poll seems to show. Every man has his own experiences of certain cars, and it sure does sound like Minis have been out to get you
At the end of the day it hurt me to defend the New Mini in any way because it is a huge gimmick, and there will always be people who will buy into their marketing. Maybe if it didn't have a Mini badge, or it atleast resembled the original Mini in any way, I'd like the car. However it doesn't offer cheap motoring, it's absolutely not Mini in size and it has not shown itself as a complete and utter weapon like Paddy Hopkirk showed us the original was.
If you want a 2008 Mini, buy a Renault Clio Sport ... for me that resembles pretty much everything the original Mini Cooper S was (though I would really like to hear what you guys think which modern car most deserves the Mini badge )
Oh no, you don't sound like that sort of person. The sort of person I'm talking about usually threatens legal action and forces the company to recall all of their cars when they hear a small clicking noise coming from their indicators
Atleast you have the patience to spend more than 14 seconds thinking about what is actually wrong with the car
Elise all the way, besides i doubt i can fit in a mini without some problems
Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.
80% of the people in these polls that pick the faster/more hardcore/more exclusive/more expensive car would sell them inside the first month of owning them. You couldn't afford the running costs, or chiropractor bills, from daily driving an Elise.

Toyota dealers don't service Lotuses last I checked. And if you think Lotus charges Toyota prices for engine parts, you've got another thing coming.
