This is my situation: My gilrfriend and I have to change our first car soon... And we are unable to decide between a B200 full equip and a Mini Cooper full equip.
We are in end of 20's (age) and have no kid. Both cars have things that we like and we are just confuse... We have a good deal on the B200 too, but for gaz, she drinks more than a Mini... So, any one can help us in our choice?
Are we too young like some of our friends said to get a B200?
You have narrowed your choice down to two of my favorite cars.
If you do not need more space now - and will not need more space in the future, then I would get a Mini. Mini = fun and performance.
If however, you need or want more space and functionality, then the B would be a good choice. B = space and practicality.
Tough choice - but you won't go wrong with either car.
Beeclass summarized it ... since we were thinking long term we decided to go with the B class. Actually I'm very happy we did since my wife is expecting a baby in 3 weeks .. I CAN'T imagine myself in a mini.
Ho, and I also like the higher position in the B200
The cars are totally different. One has a Peugeot/BMW engine and one doesn't....one is tiny and one is large....it's like comparing a smart and a BMW 330i, a very strange choice of two very different vehicles, I think.
If I were you I would consider some sort of a cabriolet, like a VW EOS. You only live once, so they say, so have some fun in the sun when you are young!

BTW, I'm 32yo.

To me the B200 also equates to a unique safety design - the sandwich platform.
My wife is also preggoes.
I know that it's two differents kind of car but I go with my budget... I have a really good deal w Mercedes wich I was not expected... It's a bit less than a Mini but w the gas and the 1000$ cash back from government, it comes approximatly the same...
For sure, it's great to drive a Mini but at the same time, I find it crazy to say no to a Mercedes, even if it's a B Class... A MERCEDES!!!
And on a mid term, like in a year, maybe some regrets...
Something surprised me so: I red in the Annual Book 2008 that in winter, the Mini is better than a B200??? Wird!
Ayoye! So tough to make a choice! Anything else after words that can help me???
If you commute or like to drive on holidays the B is a better choice. We chose the B because we like to drive small cars and the B is one of the more comfortable small cars. Also in Montreal do you want to crawl into a car parked in salt and slush??? But you only live once
But see which car the girlfriend likes best before deciding
With age doth come great wisdom
Did you order a 2009 or are you taking a 2008 out of remaining stock? I ask b/c I think that Bluetooth is standard on the 2009... (but of course I could be wrong!). Also - turbo or non turbo? I would have liked the sport package myself, but could not convince my wife
Either way, I'm sure you will love the car. Mine is coming very soon... can't wait!
