MINI Convertible
The days of the MINI Coupe and MINI Roadster are long gone. All that’s left is a conventional open-top model. That being said, the MINI Convertible can really mess up your hairdo in John Cooper Works trim (228 horsepower). Visibility out the rear is fairly limited with the top up, while the ride is on the stiff side. Of course, that’s the price you have to pay for such a fun and unique cabriolet.
