Andrew English reviews the MINI Roadster for the U.K. publication
The Telegraph and concludes:
It’s difficult to define precisely the market that the Mini Roadster is aimed at. It’s not really a sports car and with competitors such as the Toyota GT86 and Mazda MX-5, hard-core enthusiasts are likely to look elsewhere. But it does have a sporting heart and it is easy to see the appeal to wealthy young-at-hearts who don’t require the extra space of the four-seat cabriolet.
In the end it’s about fun, rather than serious driving, but in the present circumstances perhaps the world needs a bit more fun.
