T ’S pretty hard to take exception to MINI’S second generation Convertible. It

looks sportier (and is), yet it is cheaper to run and more eco
friendly. It offers more space and plenty of
high-tech features. But best of aU, it is still just as much fun to drive as the original. As with the fixed top second gener
ation MINI models, the MK2 con vertible ditches the old Isuzu engines and instead adopts the more efficient units that BMW developed in part nership with Peugeot and Citroen. That means we lose the glorious
supercharged whine of the old Cooper S version, but its 175 bhp 1.6-litre twin scroll turbo-charged replace ment makes up for that with far bet-, ter fuel economy figures and emis sions. Rest to 60 takes 7.4 secs on the
way to ISSmph and there is 240Nm of torque. In the tuned John Cooper Works model, power is upped to 211bhp and 0-60mph takes 6.9 secs. . Go for the 120bhp 1.6-litre engine
you get in the standard Cooper model and 60 takes 9.8 secs on the way to 123mph, still quite fast enough for

most, even if, with 160Nm of torque, you will need to rev it a bit more to properly enjoy that performance. ■With a raised shoulder line, high
lighted by a chrome strip which extends around the body of the car, the MK2 MINI Convertible has a more purposeful and dynamic stance than its predecessor. The automatic canvas root of this
car can be fully retracted or closed using a roof-frame mounted toggle switch in just 15 seconds. In the event of a driver being
caught unexpectedly by a sudden downpour, this function will fully operate with the car at speeds of up to 20mph.‘
