The Mini Convertible isn’t as rewarding to drive as its hatchback sibling, but its open-air exuberance makes up for that. You also get a terrific interior and sensible running costs, while strong residuals mean you can buy with your head as well as your heart.
Upgrading to Sport trim is largely aesthetic, giving you all the same equipment as the Classic trim but with all the styling tweaks that you’ll find on the sporty John Cooper Works. In fact, the only equipment it adds is adaptive suspension, although that doesn’t really quell the Mini’s firm ride.
