2016 MINI Cooper S Convertible REVIEW | Price slashed, But Fun-Factor Intact
WHILE IMAGE IS EVERYTHING TO THE 2016 MINI COOPER S CONVERTIBLE, PERFORMANCE HASN'T BEEN NEGLECTED.
It’s that balance of cheeky style and brattish handling that sets MINI apart from other small cars.
Being a convertible helps too, of course. MINI reminds us that there’s no need to be so darn serious all the time; this latest Cooper S Convertible arrives as a headful of fresh air.

OVERVIEW
The modern MINI range is now in its third generation, and the convertible version joins the three- and five-door hatch a little behind those ‘mainstream’ models.
In the process MINI has trimmed the price, with the new Cooper S starting from $45,400, a handy reduction of $5650 compared to its predecessor.
