2010 Mini First

[jonny996]

I am looking out for a Mini first for son as first car, they seem to have the balance between costs & style right but 1 thing I am not sure of.
the 2010 First model cars seem to be a mix of 1.6 & 1.4 engines both with the same out put & insurance & tax costs, whats the story there & is one batter than the other?
thanks.
