Feature:
The Mini is s straight-up, no frills axe. Hardtail, three cheap single-coils. And a whole lot of portability.
Quality:
Again, quality must be viewed in the context of cheap guitars. In addition to some real guitars of substantial cost and performance potential, I also own a Lotus "Strat knock-off" that was made somewhere "East of Eden". I've now equipped the Lotus with a full set of Seymour-Duncans...but it still leaves a little something to be desired. The Squier Mini displays much better workmanship: a more nicely finished neck, parts that actually fit the space they're bolted onto, etc. I think I'll be transferring the Seymour Duncans from the Lotus to the Mini in the near future and then giving the Lotus to some deserving kid in the neighborhood to practice chords with.
Value:
An excellent travel guitar for $99. This is an outrageously cool value!
Desirability:
What could be more sexy than the "Mini Me" of guitars. Plug it in and kick out the jams.
Sound:
The sound must be considered in the context of "travel guitars". It sounds almost like a "real" Strat, but packs much more easily!
Support:
When you do your own tech work, who needs support?
Overall:
Given the niche it fills in my collection, I suspect the Mini will remain there until I move on to other gigs and someone inherits it (laughter of the Immortals).

Feature:
3 pickups (very nice output, crystal clean), nice switch, good intonation at each positions. Great finish, I can't believe it cost $99.
Quality:
Beautiful finish - nothing to complain about at this price.
Value:
No competition there.
Desirability:
I am thinking of getting one for myself now!
Sound:
This guitar is great! I bought it for my 5 yer old - and being a Gibson guy and all - ... well, I can't stop playing it! It stays in tune pretty well - need to tune it often but that's what you got to do anyway, especially if you want to train their little ears. Man, I wanted something to get the Fender type of sound (I like humbucker better), and I just found an inexpensive way to get just that - I will use it in the studio. Pickup are screaming... bit too bright though
Support:
Never used - but I doubt you need to - it is just to fun to play!
Overall:
This is a great starting guitar for little fingers - I wish I had that guitar 15 years ago. I would play better now!
