The 2019 MINI Convertible 1.5 Cooper Classic is the perfect antidote to dull, everyday driving. Drop the roof, fire up that characterful 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, and suddenly, every journey, whether a seaside cruise or a quick dash to the shops, feels like an event. With 134bhp on tap, the Cooper strikes a fine balance between nippy performance and everyday usability, delivering that signature go-kart handling that MINI is famous for. With the roof down, the open-air experience is pure joy, heightened by the burble of the three-cylinder engine and the rush of wind past your ears. The fabric roof folds in just 18 seconds, even at speeds up to 20mph, meaning you?re never more than a few moments away from embracing the elements. And if the British weather isn?t playing ball, the roof has a handy half-open ?sunroof? mode, perfect for when you want a taste of fresh air without going full cabriolet. Inside, the Classic trim offers a well-appointed cabin with MINI?s iconic central infotainment system, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and Bluetooth connectivity. Space in the back is, well, cosy, but that?s hardly the point. The MINI Convertible is all about fun, and with its sharp steering, lively chassis, and head-turning looks, it delivers exactly that in abundance. For those who love the feeling of the sun on their face and the wind in their hair, the 2019 MINI Convertible Cooper Classic is a pure, smile-inducing driving experience, one that makes every mile feel like a mini adventure.
