Hatchback Showdown: Mini Cooper vs. VW Golf | Small Cars, Big Fun!

If you're looking for a fun ride at a great price, consider a hatchback. These pint-size cars aren't as popular as they once were, but there's lots to like about them. In this video, Elana Scherr and Ryan ZumMallen from Edmunds bring you two of the best used hatchbacks on the market, the 2017 VW Golf SE and the 2016 Mini Cooper S. Our experts put these vehicles through a battery of tests and explain what you should look for in your next compact car.
The Volkswagen Golf is one of the most popular hatchbacks for drivers looking for the right mix of practicality and price. With 170 horsepower, the 2017 Golf SE has a bit of pep on the road, and a premium stereo system and heated front seats are just a few of the goodies you'll find inside.
The 2016 Mini Cooper S comes with an upgraded and more powerful engine over the base Cooper that gives this hatchback a leg up over the Golf. Paddle shifters and highly enjoyable steering and handling really help the Mini stand out.
Small cars, lots of fun: That is the theme for today's hatchback showdown between the Volkswagen Golf and the Mini Cooper. Whether you're looking for practicality or a little style, we're sure that these fun-sized hatchbacks have what it takes to be your next purchase. Which one is your choice?
