Reviews of the 2005 Mini Cooper S convertible

CNET Review
The Good: Power-operated convertible; sports car handling; solid fuel economy.
The Bad: Poor rear visibility; spotting the centrally located speedometer can be tricky; pricey when fully optioned.
The Bottom Line: The Mini's power-operated convertible top and performance make it an extremely fun car for driving and for play.
