A true eurobox is out of the question I think. It would depress me beyond belief to do 70 miles a day on a dark winter's day in Scotland in a Clio or a Suzuki Swift. Sounds snobby, probably is but I'm willing to die on that hill!
A mini, on the other hand, opens up all sorts of interesting ideas. The diesel ones are very boring if not well built but I could see myself in a wee supercharged pocket rocket.
