Their popularity has surged because of their unique look and their race car-like quality. It truly goes 0-60 in a few seconds.

2013 MINI Convertible - Could be better for the price

I was very excited buying this car because I live in California, and I always wanted to have a convertible car. I financed it after putting down $10,000.00 . The process of buying was easy, and I was very happy with the choices of body styles and colors that they had in stock.

Story

I was driving with my top down after my hair appointment. I spent $200 on my hair, and it started raining while I was on a freeway. By the time I was able to stop and put my roof up, my hair was a mess.

Pros

For the first two years, I was very happy with the way car drives, and I had warranty. So even if I had a light come up, it was easy to fix it and didn't cost me a dime. The car is very cute, and I got a lot of compliments while driving it. It is perfect for a single girl or a couple because it only has two seats. You have a perfect excuse not to drive your friends around. I was also pleasantly surprised that the trunk in the car was very large.

Cons

After couple of years, I started having a lot of problems with this car. It was also very expensive to fix it. The car doesn't have a spare tire, so I had to call AAA few times to help me with it. The car has a soft convertible top, and I had few issues with it.

2005 MINI Convertible - My Mini Cooper

I really enjoyed my Mini Cooper convertible. It was my first convertible, and it was a blast to drive around. I was hesitant at first due to there not being a roll bar. I thought it would be unsafe to drive. Yet after the first few months, I let these feelings go. The Mini Cooper never felt unsafe to drive, whether the top was down or not. The gas mileage it got was a little lower than what I was told I would get. I am usually a very considerate driver, so I don't burn through gas really fast. I think overall it was a very good car, but it did have its problems. There was some engine trouble early on, and it being a foreign car, the parts and maintenance were usually much more expensive. Due to this fact, I usually replaced most of the parts myself.

Story

It is always hot in Georgia during the summer, but the first time I drove my car with the top down, was an amazing experience.

Pros

The car is very fun to drive. The convertible aspect made it even more fun, especially during the summer heat. The interior was cool, and the details were very nice. The speedometer in the middle of the console was a feature that I liked.

Cons

There was some engine trouble that I had when I first purchased the car. The main belt would make an awful screeching noise, and we had to replace the water pump. At one point before I sold it, the convertible top would not securely lock into place.
