A convertible with a sunroof?
With the only real down side of the new Mini convertible being less-than-ideal rearward visibility, Road and Track magazine writer Andrew Bornhop had the easiest job since the chief taste-tester at the Dum Dum lollypop plant retired. According to Bornhop, the rag-top version of the lovable and well-considered Mini Cooper is just as sound as the hardtop version. And even more fun.
He didn't even complain about how underpowered the Mini convertible is, particularly when saddled with 220 extra pounds of reinforcements and hardware, a common complaint among some reviewers.

Oh, yeah. The car has a sliding sunroof panel that can open nearly 16 inches when the top is up. Brilliant.
