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.
