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. 4 out of 5 Other MINI reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 2.5 out of 5 Comfort MINI has never offered much leg room for rear passengers and the Convertible does nothing to alter this. Unless those in the front are very short the back seat passengers won't have much room to get flung about in. The seats themselves are comfortable, although passengers may get fidgety on longer trips. View full gallery 3 out of 5 Practicality It's actually better than you'd expect. A drop down boot reveals a smallish boot which grows slightly with the roof up. However the back seats can be folded down and the back of the roof lifted to help swallow bigger items.

The driving position offers plenty of adjustment and refinement is pretty good with the hood up. All the switches and buttons you need look funky (like the toggle switches) and are placed just where you need them.
