MINI Convertible (2004 - 2008) 1.6 Cooper S 2d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Like a laugh

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all think it's cool..........I think anyway

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not but it's fun while it lasts

What are you likely to buy next?

A larger 2 seat convertible

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£21,500

When did you buy the car?

July 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I read that you can't get much off a mini and I was left indifferent having got £750 off

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a fun weekend car

What was the dealer like?

Fine, no complaints. Not great/not bad

What's it like to drive?

Very nimble. Super hard suspension can make it very skittish on bumpy roads and can be annoying if you're not in a "driving" mood. If you are in the mood it's a blast.

What's it like to park?

Very easy. They put radar on the convertibles as the rear visibilty is poor

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing. There are dash rattles that can be annoying but some of the trim is fairly cheap (too cheap for a 20k + car)

What's most practical about your car?

Parking, back seats to use as a boot (you can't get adults in them)

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

ipod connection (extra £150) & wind deflector (a must if you want to go any distance with the roof off)
