MINI Convertible (2004 - 2008) 1.6 Cooper 2d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm not sure....fun? quirky? a poser? cool? stylish? I don't care!!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone loves it and says how it's the perfect car for me. It's not ideal for my elderly grandmother though who struggles to get in and out!

Would you buy this car again and why?

I don't think I could buy any car except a mini now. I love the look and I love the feel of it to drive. It's fab!!

Another mini cooper convertible, this time with air con and CD player controls on the steering wheel (I wasn't patient enough to wait 15 weeks last year!!).

Not a good deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Because I've always loved Minis.

What was the dealer like?

Fantastic, very helpful and patient while I decided whether to go for a second-hand car they had on the forecourt or go with a brand new one.

What's it like to drive?

Lovely. It suits me just fine. A small car for a small person!! It grips the road well, and is light on the steering.

What's it like to park?

It's actually very easy thanks to the parking sensors, although visibility can be difficult.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No.

What's most practical about your car?

I didn't buy it for practicality.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Soft top. Convertible at the touch of a button!!
