Mini Cooper S is good but I like the subtle and simplistic sleeper car look of GTI. About the sound of GTI, well German cars are like that, you never feel like you are riding hard but in real world you would be carrying fast speeds. Of course if Ford decides to release the Focus RS in India both these cars would be toast.

Why not bring the golf gti mk 7? It looks so much better and is sharper and is a legend in its own right. There may be reasons such as sharing assembly line with polo and also Indian roads that can get golf polo. But given the price point, I'd be more than happy to spend a few more lakh and get Golf GTI or Golf R imported. It's just too good a car. I think buyers should consider this option.

Watch comparisons of mini nd gti from europe and other markets ... gti simply outperforms mini with the massive power and dynamics ... People who go for these hot hatches don't give shit about practcality nd price ... my pref is mini itself for it's added legacy ... Who said golf is set for comfort and u r comparing the fiesta , fusion nd focus st which dont sell here nd are typical sport versions with em ..see in these markets a same car has different variants which includes base, comfort , premium luxury and sport variants ... if u r comparing compare it with respective versions moreover how can u arrive at it own conclusions without comparing them side by side ...

At this price a hot hatch is far from being practical. I personally feel if one should become practical pick a sedan and not the GTI. If rally is an option GTI would be the one to go. But when it comes between these two the GTI doesn't stand a chance against the Mini. GTI lacks the go-kart like handling that the Mini has and although having a good transmission doesn't justify the GTI's practicality in this segment where the people who buy these would be and should be behind the wheel. And that's all that matters.!!
