This is on behalf of a friend of mine.

I wanted to ask you TSers information comparing the Audi A3 v Mini Cooper v Volvo c30. General impressions of the cars, likes and dislikes? Any owners want to chime in?

Simultaneously I want to ask the members in San Francisco (where my friend wants to pick up the car) where she could find the "winner" of the above 3 with less than 45k miles, automatic, around the $20,000 price range.

Thanks
Ryan
