2012 MINI Cooper Convertible Gets An 8.6 Out Of 10


The Car Connection gives the 2012 MINI Convertible an 8.6 on a scale of 10. Its dislikes:

  • Quirky, non-ergonomic interior elements
  • Electric power steering feel isn't great
  • Price quickly adds up with options

Its likes:

  • Easy, functional convertible top
  • Go-kart handling, peppy acceleration in S and JCW models
  • Highly customizable
  • Lots of available add-ons

Its bottom line:
Part hatchback, part convertible, and all fun, the 2012 MINI Cooper Convertible is in a class by itself--literally.
