Fiat 500C or MINI Convertible?

Ok, so if you were trading in a first gen Audi 1.8T Convertible and want something more economical, firstly, which would you chose out of the Fiat 500 convertible or MINI convertible and secondly, which model would you choose?

It has to be either the 500C or MINI and as gay as it may be, its for the ex-wife so its allowed.

Cooper S is too expensive in R56 form, which gives reasonable MPG, and an R53 Cooper S gives worse MPG than the Audi so it would have to be an R53 Cooper Convertible.

What are the like on fuel?
