Most liked posts in thread: From a Fiat site - 75 Great Reasons to choose Fiat 500 over the BMW Mini

Is it just me or does this look vaguely familiar? A 1960 Renault or a 2011 Fiat, you decide. :ihih:

 

What roof line?

 

Proof of narrow minded mentality (if he just refused to do it). Or he knew he would enjoy it too much

 

Took me a few looks to notice there was a car there :lol:

 

fact check.

10. The Fiat suspension sub frame is attached w/o rubber isolators that could fatigue or wear out.

Wrong. The MINI sub frame is not attached with rubber isolators.

 

FIAT

Fix it again Tony

 

Both are good cars as we know --BUT---

I really don't think they are close enough to really be compared to each other.

The Mini is a Mini but not so tiny & it is attractive to look at.

The Fiat 500 is a very ugly tiny car and looks like a cute Lady bug.

If the Mini Coopers are so bad I would like to know why all of these other car company's always try to compare their cars to a Mini.

A Juke to a Countryman. (No Comparison)

A Fiat 500 to a Mini. (No comparison)

A Cadilac to a Mini ( DUH!!!! )

For Me- The flying brick is what I like, I like looking at it, I like driving it and I like the way people always ask me about it.

I had a Fiat 500 in 1959 so I'm not against them. I just do not want another one.


I had driving lights, A CB Radio, Full moon hub caps, and I really enjoyed that car untill I fell in love with my 1960 English Ford.

 

Way to go Johngo ,

You sure are right on that :beer

 

Personally I don't see the Fiat being a competitor in this arena... Maybe it's just a me thing, but I'll stick with the more proven side of engineering, as I have for nearly four decades.

"This New Car brought to you by IL DUCE and the GODFATHER"

Do you really want to cite WWII at all? I mean, the MINI is German. They know a thing or two about Fascism as well.

Honestly, the more direct competition to this car is the SmartCar. Mini isn't even in the same segment honestly. To dignify the claims that they are with a response does Fiat more service than they deserve. They don't compete with one another in any form of motorsport as far as I know. One is being marketed in america by Chrysler ffs...Chrysler, lol.

 

:cornut:Okay:BMW MINI brought to you by Der Fuhrer and Baader Meinhoff
Mini brought to you by Sir Winston and the Great Train Robbers

Jason:lol:(people who can't laugh at themselves need to call their mothers and say," Mom, I'm too thin skinned to make it in society. Boo Hoo Hoo why can't people be politically correct boo hoo.")opcorn:opcorn:

 

Funny thing is, there is not ONE GOOD reason in any of their "reasons". MINI's kick the crap out of that car, both looks- and speed-wise. Nuff said.
