MINI COOPER CONVERTIBLE Review
Review vehicle: MINI Cooper JWC Convertible

Topless version of MINI's performance flagship the JCW (John Cooper Works) Convertible. It gets the same 211bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged engine as the fixed roof JCW model, uprated springs and dampers and a mild bodykit. Plus an electrically operated folding roof.

What's hot

• The performance. Zero to 60mph in 6.9 seconds...
• ...while 260Nm of torque provides real in-gear thrust
• Exhaust barks and crackles
• Frugal at 39.8mpg combined, 169g/km of CO2...
• ...thanks to Efficient Dynamics
• Steering is crisp and full of feel
• Agile, grippy go-kart handling
• Great driving position
• Hood operation is smooth, fabric high quality
• Strong residuals

What's not

• Despite being 10% stiffer than before, it's still wobbly
• Torque steer under full throttle
• Poor rear visibility roof-up
• Virtually no rear space, boot is tiny
• Cooper S version is almost as fast but costs 4,500 less

Road Test Rating
A car that really puts a smile on your face. MINI JCW Convertible is great fun to drive, beautifully made and one of the best small drop-tops on sale. However, at that price so it should be. Buy the Cooper S version instead it's no less fun, more economical, emits less CO2 and costs a lot less.
