Its been nearly two years since the mini cooper had been redesigned, finally the second-generation car model arrived on the market. But it's been worth the wait. The mini cooper convertible had an upgrade not only on the roof but in the interior too, I think the convertible version of this car looks better than the original.
The Mini's small chassis has been upgraded with a lot of little upgrades. The sandwich-style cross members that bridge the car's underside are now twice as thick as they are on the hatchback, and it's all linked together by new triangular welds that add strength. When you drive this car on the road you'll feel the changes instantly. There's less scuttle shake, and fewer tremors felt through the steering wheel than before.
The roof itself can also be operated at speeds of up to about 50 km/h, which is handy, should you encounter a thunderstorm while on the move. And like its BMW family, the roof can be lowered remotely with the flying saucer, simply push and hold the unlock button and watch the roof retract. It takes just 15 seconds.
As it says in the article, price is no object if you like the BMW like features the mini cooper has. "While this tester's $35,000 price tag seems like an awful lot of money, it's worth considering that it's extremely well equipped. If you forgo some of the pricier options, a Cooper Convertible can be yours for under $30,000. In fact, it's one of only four drop tops on the market that can claim this status. When you factor in its stellar fuel economy, the Cooper Convertible manages to be as big on fun as it is easy on your wallet." Its a great car to own.
