Of the old days - the bug cause it went everywhere, and a mini was stuck to the road with the 12 inch tires, and it leaked oil as a good english car would.
Now mini is made by BMW so would look at it moreso. The beetle has become less rugged in comparison to the old ones.

the Mini Cooper S! the Beetle just cant hang with it. besides the speed, the Cooper S out handles the Beetle. it our corners out breaks and just overall out performs the Beetle. so i would have to go with the Mini Cooper S

I like the old style minis but not the new ones, but they are rather small. The Beetle is more spacious & I believe you can still get new ones abroad (or you could a year or 2 ago). I would probably go for the mini myself if they still made the original design.

My choice is...an apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan overlooking Central Park with a basement garage where i keep my 1956 Volkswagen Beetle convertable with chrome trim.
I have it converted with an electric engine but otherwise with all original trim...red leather.
I go to cool places like the East Village and the Tribeca and pretty well anywhere on the Avenue of the Americas and what is cool is made cooler!
Don't get me wrong...I love the Mini...I love it with a passion...But I love the beetle in New York with a memory...a memory and a dream!!!!

Mini Cooper, out of the two.
The Mini's ace card is its handling, and the build quality is good.
The Beetle (modern incarnation, I presume you mean) does not drive anything like as well as it looks; the boot is very small, and the overall packaging is poor. It is a car for posers, not drivers.
How about a third option - a Suzuki Swift Sport? Cheaper than both, better looking and more practical.

Mini - but a real one (not the BMW version). Besides, the old Mini is faster than the new - has a better power to weight ratio. And nothing handles like the old Mini, unless it's a Go-Kart.
