MINI Convertible (04-08) - Review

Review by Parkers
Last Updated:
If there's one thing guaranteed to make a popular car more popular still, lopping off its roof is a sure fire bet. Unlike the old Mini which had a pram like contraption it called a roof this new model gets a two-stage work of engineering art. And if you don't fancy the full convertible mode, then it can be partially retracted at the touch of a button. A range of new colours are available and there's more scope to customise the interior than before.

Iconic style, easy to open roof, well built, economical TDI available

Cramped in the back, limited and tricky to access boot space, lacks refinement, roof looks ugly when folded down

Clever folding roof; strong diesel.

Awful driving position; many rivals make a better new buy.
