Smart and reliable but mostly fun! I've watched the roof go down before, because you can have it half way, like a sun roof, or all the way down. I didn't put it down because I've never done it before and we all know what the weather's like. Obviously, you can put it down when you view it. It could really do with a professional car upholstery clean. Nothing awful on there just water stains and the occasional spilt drink, that didn't quite come out. The rubber around the roof needs replacing. Yes, it has a small leak front left but I've had it under a cover. Local Mini garage said it was a simple fix. The paint has bubbled in a couple places, its still red underneath, a little like the topcoat of nail polish coming away. Car bought for my daughters but they're now living in the city. Its got good mileage. Clutch is a bit stiff and the gears are great if you're thinking of building up your left arm.
