Vehicle Summary: 2008 Mini Cooper S Convertible
The neo-retro Mini Cooper S Convertible is by turns a subcompact commuter car, a soulful cruiser and an open-air sports car. It has a power-operated soft top with a unique feature that allows it to be opened part of the way, like a sunroof, while the car is moving. A supercharged four-cylinder engine delivers lively acceleration. The supercharged engine can be mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The Mini Cooper S Convertible includes a number of exterior styling tweaks, along with larger alloy wheels, which distinguish it from the base version. Handling is quite responsive. The car boasts a youthful and somewhat quirky interior that's roomier than the car's diminutive exterior dimensions suggest.
