Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.

MINI Cooper Convertible review

It's good for luxury lifestyle. This R56 Mini Cooper S was in for a deep exterior clean and Gtechniq C4 application recently. The plastic trims were looking a bit dated so the owner asked if we could restore them. We used a Gtechniq C4 to produce an OEM finish. Very happy with the results!

2021 Mini Cooper Convertible First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre07 Aug 2021

Flamboyant to the core, not as good as a hatchback, and yet distinguished like no other. The Mini Cooper S Convertible wows with its open-top driving experience. This three-door car isn't practical with limited space inside, but comes packed with features and is quick and fun to drive. And with a well-engineered open and close mechanism for the roof, it doesn't restrict its utility in pollution and vulnerable climatic conditions like ours. Well, if it wasn't for its high CBU pricing, it wouldn't have been difficult to recommend. Still quite capable of reigniting the spark of interest, not just in this part of the motoring world, but for anyone's glazed over look.
