Mini Copper Convertible
2009 will hopefully bring a lot of good things, better things than 2008, and two of them will almost certainly be new models of convertible Mini Coopers. Both will share the same engines as their hardtop counterparts—one with a 118-hp, 1.6-liter I-4 in the Cooper Convertible, and another with a 172-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter I-4 in the Mini Cooper S Convertible.
Both engines are more powerful than those in earlier models, though some fans will miss Cooper S’ supercharged 1.6-liter I-4 – especially when it comes down to turbo lag. Details include a three-position top and a new automated roll bar, which pops up once the vehicle stability control senses an imminent rollover. MSRP for the 2009 Mini Cooper convertibles will run between $24,900 and $27,450.
