I love my red mini cooper convertible and can't stop smiling when I am in it or even just around it. I park it in front of the dining room window so I can see it when I eat my dinner. Besides being safe, reliable and fuel efficient it is fun to drive. I get a lot of looks in this cutie car, especially when my 6'8" husband gets out of the passenger side!...read morehide

This car draws attention, I am approached at least once a day in regard to gas milieage or just in general comments about how "cute" this car is.

This is our 2nd Mini and it won't be our last. Great to take and park. Rides nice and we love it! Can't wait to get the new one with all the perks it comes with. Lastly, the service people are absolutely outstanding!

After driving a Suburban for seven years, this was a great gift to myself! I can go anywhere (great on gas), park anywhere (almost no space too small), gets lots of attention on the road and in the parking lot, and drives like a true sports car. After driving two other cars in this same class, the Mini beat them all without exception. Best buy I've made in a long time....read morehide

This is the best car I have ever owned. The feeling you get when you drive this car is similar to that of a go cart. It handles like a dream. It is the perfect car to drive in a big city with little parking spaces. The attention you get is nice too, especially when it is yellow with black bonnett stripes and has the vanity plate RMBLB.(RUMBLBEE)...read morehide

I love my Mini Cooper! It is the best car EVER! It is super cute and very fun to drive. The safety features on this vehicle are outstanding so I feel very safe, even though I am in a small car!

Behind The Wheel: The convertible Minis retain much of the structural solidity of the hardtops and handle and steer about as well as those models. There's some buffeting without the optional wind blocker.

This is my first Mini - got the '07 Red Convertible with Automatic transmission, premium & cold weather packages.
I am about 1 week into ownership.
I love the way the car looks and feels with the top down. It's so much fun! The convertible top is 100% automatic with no latches, etc. and has an awesome feature where you can have a sun roof if you don't want the top down all the way.
I got this car as a commuter car so the gas mileage has not disappointed me. I commute ~45 miles RT each day and I was able to commute the whole week/weekend without refilling. I'm getting around 30mpg. I am also able to get 2 car seats in the back which is great. However, keeping the car seats in the back prevents me from dropping them so trunk space cannot be expanded. I'll save the big shopping trips with the kids for my SUV.
My learnings so far are the automatic txmn is a little sputtery in lower gears - the sport mode is much smoother at lower gears but you sacrifice some fuel efficiency.
Visibility is not great thru the rear view mirror - the roll bars are right in my field of vision. When the top is up there are a lot of blind spots. Definitely learn to drive using your side mirrors.
Also, the convertible offers a feature where the stereo volume will adjust up & down based on speed which is fantastic. However, with the premium package, the Harmon Kardon stereo system does not have this feature - seems a little illogical that the better stereo doesn't offer this feature.
I'm nervous about service since there is nothing VERY close to my area. I really wish the BMW dealerships could service the MINI's too since there are far more of those in my area.
Finally, the comments are true that there is no negotiating price.
The convertibles especially are in such high-demand that you need to wait ~8 wks if you want a custom-built right now. You are not a poor negotiator if you have to pay retail. Even retail is not a bad price for this car - people think it costs way more than it does. For convertibles in the same price range, VW Beetle, etc - it is a great value/performer....read morehide

2 years completed on 3 year lease of my 2005 Silver Mini Convertible. Already test drove other sporty convertibles, such as: VW EOS (ok); Audi TT (too pricey); BMW Z4 (too pricey); Mitsubishi Spyder Eclipse (nice, but too big). I've already decided that my next car will be a Red Mini Convertible-2008. Can't wait!...read morehide
