Which MINI model comes with a convertible top?
2 Answers
MINI convertible models: 1. MINI offers a total of two soft-top convertible models - the 4-seater MINI CABRIO and the 2-seater MINI ROADSTER. 2. Strictly speaking, currently only the MINI CABRIO is available as a convertible in the MINI lineup. Below is relevant information about MINI: 1. All three COOPER CABRIO models are equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The other three COOPER S CABRIO models feature a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, also mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. While there are significant differences in powertrain, they share one common feature - their 2-door, 4-seat configuration.
I've driven MINI cars several times, and if you're looking for one with a convertible top, it's definitely the MINI Cooper Convertible, the classic model with a soft-top. I remember the first time I opened the top for a city drive—the sunlight pouring down felt incredibly comfortable, and the wind wasn't too strong, making it perfect for spring and summer outings or daily commutes. Compared to the hardtop MINI, the space is about the same, and the trunk can still fit a small bag. There's a bit of noise when the top is down, but it doesn't affect the driving fun. MINI officially calls it the Convertible series, and the new models now come in Cooper and Cooper S variants with different power outputs. The Cooper version I drove had smooth acceleration, was fuel-efficient, and very agile. If you're considering buying one, I'd recommend checking the used car market—maintenance isn't too expensive, but you have to remember to close the roof before it rains. Overall, this car makes driving anything but monotonous, and it's especially eye-catching on small roads.
