The new MINI Convertible has already recieved high praise from us, but this automatic version is an altogether different car.
The MINI Convertible is a highly fashionable car, with a welcome dose of extra space over the old model.
Thanks to the automatic gearbox, this is a Cooper S Convertible that loves to cruise.
While the auto is less entertaining than the manual gearbox, it's still great fun on a twisting back road.
Switching to sport mode or using the steering-wheel mounted paddles means the gearbox fires through the ratios with great speed and accuracy.
The automatic gearbox adds £1,600 to the cost of the MINI Convertible.
Just like the Hatch, this new convertible is a step up from the previous generation in terms of fit and finish.
