On my last iteration the choice was between a Mini Cooper and an Opal Astra (Saturn branded in the US). I chose the Opal because similarly outfitted it was $10,000 less and the quality was comparable. Also the Opal handles better than the Mini, side skid plate measurement is .87G as opposed to .85G for the Mini.
I have to admit though, the Mini is cuter! I think it's the British retro styling! And I love those rally stripes!
