Should you buy one?
Hmm, tough call this one. Although I do like the MINI Roadster’s styling and fine handling, I just don’t think I could live with its vision-blurring scuttle-shake and hard ride. With this in mind I’d probably be inclined to throw my money at a Mazda MX-5. It might not be able to match the MINI in terms of raw engine power and latent exhibitionism but it’s a much more rewarding and, indeed, better balanced alternative.
