I would have a diesel Mini Clubman (don’t exist yet), more space and I could drive it knowing that the components have less embodied toxic metals, energy and emissions and which could more easily be recycled.

I would probably be enjoying myself more so in it compared to the Prius and I would very much enjoy proving to myopic people that small cars are not just for gay men, but for anyone who cars about this planet of ours!

I think in real world, Prius consume less fuel than Mini. Charging the battery while you are driving is quite advace, once you are in jammed traffic, simpely switch to battery to run the car. Whereas mini has to run its engine all the time except it completely stop, but if it stuck in traffic, the consumption may reach to 5L/100km at least.

Which one do I take? I rather take Mini for fun and its looks. For conservative people, they’d better off to Corolla, coz Prius’ advance technology and futuristic grahpic design is not appealing to those consevative people. (but really appealing to me indeed)

I’d take the Mini if i had to choose. At least that way i wouldn’t get beaten up by my friends. Well, not as much.

I never thought that people would think I’m gay if I drove the Mini. So now, I’ll take the Prius, thanks.

If possible I would have the Mini for a runabout and the Prius if I need to cart more than two people and/or need luggage space. If not possible the Prius would be the choice just for practicality.

Given it’s size, the prius is the more fuel efficient one.
Given the choice, I’d walk though…
Like Alan said, bloke in a mini is a bit gay!!
Both are trendy, but neither is my cup of tee!!

Volks613, by the way the Diesel Prado isn’t fuel guzzler, with a 9.2 l/100Km on combined cycle is pretty good given it’s size!!

I would take the mini, cult car + looks good + economical.
Every person has their own reasons why they go for Prius or Mini, as a sample it shows that either car will thrive.

Let hope this drives more cutthroat competition in this area of eco-cars so that more better/appealing future models continually come out in times ahead.
