MINI Drop Tops Considered "Best Bargains"

The Wall Street Cheat Sheet discusses an Edmund's survey that looked at the best bargains in convertibles.  The MINI Cooper Roadster was one of nine vehicles chosen as a bargain. The article asserts:
The Mini Cooper Roadster, which is slightly different from the Cooper Convertible (it has a more sedan-inspired shape, versus the traditional hatchback), and is bred specifically for driving pleasure. It’s balanced, sporty, personable, and easily maneuvered through cities and other busy environments. Over 2 percent of Edmunds‘ survey takers decided that the Mini Roadster, which retails for $25,550, was the best bargain
The MINI Cooper Convertible also made the list:
Comfortably beating out its sibling with 3.5 percent of survey respondents pulling for it, the Mini Convertible offers a more traditional-Mini approach to the drop-top with the beloved and signature hatchback format. It’s also slightly cheaper than the Roadster at $25,150, and for pure driving enjoyment, there are few vehicles that offer the kind of agile fun that the Mini offers.
