Hands-on Up And Down For The MINI Roadster Top

To the chagrin of many potential MINI Roadster owners according to MotoringFile the vehicle will be equipped with a manual top purportedly to save money and weight. Frankly, we'd rather see them save the money on the anticipated electronically deploying rear spoiler and make the top go up and down with the push of a button.

Cabrio owners, have you ever had to put the top up at a red light while motoring because of the weather? Good luck with that in the new Roadster.
