I'd probably choose the Moggy for its creature comforts and superior top speed. 
I'd also choose the Minor - for its superior ability to stay upright.

Aren’t they both similar ages?
Which is classic?
The Audi is getting on for 20 years old (the B7 ran from around 2004 to 2007 or 2008) - the Mini (and I am no expert on those models) looks a fairly recent model. To answer Nick's comment, yes Mini is a brand not a model, but its still a little bit ridiculous to have a derivate of something which started out as a reboot of the issigonis variant being larger than an estate based on a family sized saloon model..Which is classic?

It doesn't bother me. What are BMW supposed to do? Make the original size or just make the 3-door hatch? And not grow th range in case someone wants a bigger car?Maybe it's up to us to see past the name or the brand and just judge a product by its merits.
I thought the original was terrible but I will admit I am quite tall with long legs so quite biased.
