  I'd say the Beetle's out. The novelty has worn off since its 1998 birthdate, so there's not much reason to put up with its impracticality vs. the Mini anymore. That said, you'd probably be happier prancing around in the Miata thanks to its zesty rear-wheel-drive handling, livelier engine, awesome shifter, and the choice of wind in your hair. The Mini may be a little less fun but probably makes more sense as an only car, thanks to the gigantic cargo hold lying beneath its hatchback (provided you fold down those back seats, that is).

  Oh my... I'd go with the Mini Cooper. The Beetle is a close second, and the Miata, well... it's stuck in the 90's. Are you planning to race one of these puppies?

  Sailor Fred, I think the beetle suits you best. Really good interior in it. The miata like you said might be too dangerous, so saftey first on this choice. The cooper just looks ridiculous, dont choose that.

  The Cooper is so much better than either of these cars! The Beetle is for hippies and girls and the Miata is a death box!

  Based purely on looks-I'd take the Mini. I hear they handle amazingly!

  Beetle is terrible; just a novelty. The Miata is good, definitely check it out. The Mini is...interesting. It's weird to drive or even be in. You'll have a bit more room in the Mini as well.
