MINI Convertible - which model is best?
My wife wants a MINI Convertible and has decided the plain Cooper and Chilli pack will be the best choice. Also, since I will sometimes drive it too and given that I normally cannot find my way out of a paper bag, I was thinking of adding navigation as an accessory. However, MINI want £1040 for it, why do they charge so much?

MINI convertibles are the 2nd generation R56 model, not the new 3rd generation MINI which is a vastly better car than the 2nd generation MINI, with more character, better handling, better performance and lower emissions. So if you buy a 2nd generation MINI convertible, buy a 2-3 year old used one, not a new one.

Highly desirable and very pretty. Handles well even with the roof down. Lower emissions than previous MINI Convertible. Air conditioning now standard.
