you forgot a "neither" option.

Neither is particularly worth your money. The Scion xB is a cardboard box on wheels, and the MINI, while cool, is so small and so repair-prone that I doubt you'd be happy with it. You're also talking about a wide price range with those two cars.

If you're serious about getting a daily driver, try a Mazda 3.

well im thinking if you have to choose one or the other. and im talking about both automatic, not manual.

the mini cooper BASE msrp is about $17,000
the scion Xb's base msrp is about $15,000

Definitely cooper. We bought one for my wife. They were so fun to drive and easily park anywhere.
