The MINI Convertible is the perfect option for those looking to add a little more fun to their drive. The experience of open-top driving, in conjunction with the car’s superbly nimble handling, is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face.

The agile build for which the Mini is known and loved – long wheelbase, short overhangs, and a low centre of gravity – is paired with a variety of efficient engines. Even the least powerful, the One model’s 98hp, 1.6-litre engine, lends the Convertible a top speed of 112mph and acceleration of 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds. The sporty turbocharged engine of the S version dwarfs this already impressive figure, giving this model a maximum speed of 140mph and 0-62mph acceleration of 7.3 seconds.

The impressive performance notwithstanding, the occupants of the Convertible experience a minimal amount of draught at any speed thanks to the steep design of the front windscreen. And, if our very changeable British weather takes a turn for the worse, the soft-top roof can be raised in just 15 seconds.
