For The Sport pack adds part-leather upholstery, black interior trim, 17-inch alloys and a bodykit. The engine is smooth and willing, while economy is impressive and emissions low.

Against Specifying this option pack adds thousands to the price, but doesn't give you any more of the Cooper experience.

Mini Cooper Convertible

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

Going for one of these pack-equipped models is attractive, but we think that, if you want to upgrade from the regular Cooper, going for the Cooper S makes more sense.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Compared with the other models in the Mini range, there's a more limited number of Mini convertible versions on sale. However, whereas we prefer the quicker versions of the hatchback, we reckon you can make do with one of the less powerful convertibles. With a soft-top, it's less about sheer driving thrills, and more about the style and the wind in the hair.

Whichever you buy, though, consider taking out one of the two very worthwhile low-cost fixed-price servicing packages: tlc and tlc xl. The £150 tlc covers you for a first service visit (oil service and micro-filter), brake fluid service at two years and a second service visit - oil service, micro-filter, vehicle check, spark plugs and air filter. tlc XL, meanwhile, costs £380 and covers a further brake fluid service, plus a third and fourth service visits.
