Mini Roadster Cooper S - All Information "Part 1"

Mini comes with a second convertible proposal Mini Roadster. We tested the Cooper S version to understand that it is justification.
How else to show the new Mini Roadster if the games in a candy? But like a real Mini at the same time. The question of what is good Mini Roadster, since the range is Mini Convertible? Well, I would say that the new Mini Roadster is dedicated to self-seekers.

First, it provides only two places to the Mini convertible, which has 2 +2 seating. Then, Mini Roadster has a more aggressive pace, more sports, even more nice than Mini convertible, which, by comparison, seems a timid little car with her windscreen horizontal vertical and lateral line. Compared to the Mini convertible, the new Mini Roadster is a more serious statement of independence and fun.

Even when the hood, the two models are quite different: the Mini convertible roof turns into a hatchback car with a well-known form, while small Mini's soft top Roadster impart a special glamor, keeping the style "3 volumes" sporty and exclusive.

The only reproach they bring test machine is insipid and lack color customization stickers, which contribute greatly to increased image of "bad boy" of Mini Roadster. However, Cooper S version manages to attract your attention with some details, such as discharges placed centrally, chrome security arches behind the headrest, or deported from the lower trunk lid wing that rises automatically at high speed, but can be operated and a button inside.

Speaking of inside, things do not change in the board or seating space. Everything is familiar and full of round elements, with no differences between the Mini and Mini Convertible Roadster in terms of look, or finish materials. Remains a small regret: that many chrome are actually plastic, so do not know how they stand up over time to sunlight.

However, lack of a bench in the Mini Roadster is a win for luggage space: the small nets like shopping at the mall, there are quite behind the seats, and some travel bags or suitcases now have more room in the trunk because it has a capacity of 240 liters (170 liters to the Mini convertible). For one weekend in two, Mini Roadster is more than satisfactory as practicality.

The most exquisite could be, however, surprised that the soft top does not have electric drive, although this is the Mini convertible. In theory, this gives the Mini Roadster a more purist - in practice, however, the car is cheaper with a few hundred dollars to the Mini Convertible with the same engine ...

Whatever the real reason, and capotarea decapotarea machine is extremely simple, but it is preferable to have some physical condition, the mechanism is not very easy to handle. Maneuvers are, however, intuitive and capotare speed in case of rain splash can be much faster than any current electric roof.

In conclusion, Mini Roadster is a very nice appearance on the road, even likely to turn heads. Not only because it is a convertible-style self-centered life, but it displays a very high dose of sportiness.
