2009 Mini Cabrio review
Like its pricey stablemate, the BMW M3 Convertible, the latest Mini Cooper S drop-top can put a smile on your dial while you get a 200km/h tan.
LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper D
Outstanding efficiency in cute-as-a-button packaging.
Driven: Mini Paceman
We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.
Wheels Review: Mini Paceman
MINI has a problem. It’s a problem Porsche faced and overcame, and now Mini is beginning to do the same.
Wheels Magazine: Volkswagen Up
As a name, ‘Up’ is ripe for ribbing. Even Volkswagen played the joker at the launch with a “This way Up” roof sticker on one example. I didn’t check to see if there was a companion sticker underneath that said “Wrong way Up”. But the VW Up is no joke.
LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper S Cabriolet
Finally, second-gen goes sunny-side up.
