The MINI Hardtop 2 Door and the VW Golf GTI are two fun-sized models. Still, one takes fun a bit more seriously. It’s evident from looking at the Hardtop 2 Door with its larger standard touchscreen and included satellite radio. The Volkswagen offers a black roof with certain configurations, but it has nothing close to the multitone gradient roof option on the MINI. Now, that’s fun!**
