Go on the citroen site also and ask for their opinions....i still think they would say go for the mini
Mini is completely different quality to citroen/renault and when you sell it the value of the citroen would probably give you a heart attack.
i do like the citroen with the squarish back end though, looks really cool. to be honest the french are coming out with some cracking designs recently but it is still not in minis league.
