I have owned four different convertibles starting with a Volkswagen Beetle, followed by a Mazda Miata, a Toyota MR2 Spyder, and now my Mini Cooper. I love, love, love this car and so does everyone that sees it.

30 mpg in city driving plus the performance (smaller engine) makes this a fabulous about town car -- definately NOT a go-cart.

2005 MINI Cooper S 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl S/C 6M)

I love this car! It is a blast to drive. I wouldn't take it on a long trip, but around town it is great fun. The convertible is really cool. The seats have warmers in them if your sidekick gets cold. The interior is very retro, very cool! Go and test drive one and I guarantee you'll want one. It is a little bit high on the price for the S Convertible, but it is worth the money. If only my wife would let me drive it more! People often will yell at us while we are in the car "Cool Car!". And, it is.

This is just down right, fun! My husband bought it for lengthy drive to work, or so he says! The S-model is quick, a step up from its regular model sibling, which was sluggish to me. I've wanted a convertible since I had one in my teens, and this is perfect. Great for his commute, and for weekends when the 4 kids aren't here! Not too much room for passengers...but that's not what this car is for! Have fun with this one!!!

I've had my Mini for 15 months, and have put 17,000 fun-packed miles on it. I have the base model with manual transmission, sport seats, and a sunroof. Although I have read reviews that say otherwise, I think the base model packs plenty of power (as long as the A/C is off). I have not tired of this car - each time I get in it, I am reminded of how much fun driving should be. It is responsive on turns, and stable as can be at high speeds on the freeway.
