Personal point of view
First of all, since the questioner is only asking about these two cars, it shows that she already needs this type of car, and there is no need to digress and recommend other medium and large family cars-although other medium and large cars may even be cheaper than these two cars. So for the mini family car, the Beetle /mini is indeed a better choice. For these two cars, my driving experience is as follows:
I bought the Beetle I drove at 10, and I thought it was beautiful at that time, and the rate of turning back on the road was also high. But the biggest problem is that the trunk is too small. If there is no reversing image, it is very easy to rub, and it is boring to drive with other Volkswagen cars.
14 changed to a mini cooper, which is very satisfactory. Only then did I feel that I had found my car. Cool appearance, excellent control and full of power. It is definitely the first choice for singles. If I don't change my job, I really want to drive a mini all my life.
The most difficult thing about mini-cars is that they have a sense of flexibility and heaviness at the same time, that is, they can adapt to the crowded roads in cities and soar at high speed. The mini gives me the feeling that I can flexibly shuttle through the city and laugh at the bulky figures of those big cars, and it can also give me a heavy and stable feeling at high speed, not as fast as low-end cheap cars.
To sum up, if you like the classic and lovely appearance, comfortable suspension adjustment and relatively low price, suitable for urban transportation and daily driving, then the Beetle may be more suitable for you. And if you pursue personalized design, handling performance and driving pleasure, and are willing to invest in higher prices and maintenance costs, then MINI may be more in line with your needs. Before buying, I suggest you test drive to understand the actual driving experience, comprehensively consider your own budget and car demand, and choose the one that suits you best. It is best to consult a professional or go to a dealer to get more accurate information.
