Driving with the top down is one of life’s true motoring pleasures. A used MINI Convertible is a sporty model that has classic MINI design elements, a powerful engine and – the bottom line – is just a lot of fun to drive.
Acceleration varies depending on which engine your used MINI Convertible has, but all options are quick. The steering is responsive and agile, so this MINI is equally comfortable navigating twisty country roads as it is cruising on the motorway.
Inside and out, a MINI Convertible used model is a great-looking car. The exterior is striking and bold, with that added touch of MINI mischief – a range of colours, including Chili Red and Starlight Blue, make this a model that really stands out.
The exterior styling can be personalised too, so some used models might have racing stripes on the bonnet, or a Union Jack design on the roof.
The interior has a premium feel to it. The dashboard is dominated by the oversized central dial, and all models from 2021 onwards are fitted with the 8.8-inch touchscreen as standard. DAB Radio and Bluetooth are among the standard features.
There’s no need to be concerned with the unpredictable UK weather, as the folding roof is operated electronically and is easy to take down and put back up, as and when you need. It’s a fabric roof, so it’s light. Retracting it takes just a few seconds, and you can even do that while on the move, albeit at a relatively slow speed.
Want to know how often you drive with the top down? MINI Convertible models are fitted with an ‘Openometer’, which records how many hours you’ve driven with the roof down.
