MINI Roadster review - Auto Express

We get behind the wheel of the new MINI Roadster in Cooper S guise - can it rival the big-selling Mazda MX-5?

It's the first open-topped MINI two-seater ever and the first genuine affordable roadster rival to the MX-5. Prices start from £25 more than the cheapest Mazda, at £18,015. To succeed in the roadster market, and make the sums add up, you need big sales. Mazda has managed this, but nobody else has yet. MINI may have found a way in through the back door, with the hatchback, Convertible, Coupe and now the Roadster all essentially re-clothed versions of the same car.

Subscribe to Auto Express magazine and get 6 issues for £1 plus a free gift: http://subscribe.autoexpress.co.uk/yt We've already tested the new BMW M5 both on track and on road. And yes, with a 552bhp twin-turbo V8 it has incredible performance. But what is it like to live with and how does it cope over really long distances? Is the new BMW M5 really the continent-slayer its predecessor -- with its limited range, manic engine and firm suspension -- failed to be? There's only one way to find out: a mammoth road test from the Pyrenees in northern Spain all way back to the UK.

All-New 2012 MINI Roadster - Interior & Beauty shots [HD]
The driving fun sewn into the fabric of every MINI can now be enjoyed with the roof up or down in the all-new MINI Roadster, the only open-top two-seater in the brand's history. The MINI Roadster will be the sixth model in the British premium carmaker's current line-up when it goes on sale in the USA in February 2012. Three powerful engine options and sophisticated chassis technology with model-specific tuning see to it that the characteristic MINI go-kart feeling is always on tap. And the MINI Roadster's classical soft-top roof, which can be easily opened and closed manually, ensures open-top driving pleasure can be soaked up at every opportunity.

2012 MINI Cooper Roadster: Expert Car Review Lauren Fix
Courtesy of YNN/ Time Warner Cable Aired: 4/26/2012 Would you love an affordable, sassy sports car that's fun to drive and gets high fuel economy? Lauren Fix, the Car Coach, brings you a closer look at the 2012 MINI Cooper Roadster. The 2012 MINI Cooper Roadster is an affordable sports car that's sassy and fun to drive. The icing on the cake is that this great ride has high fuel economy. Make/ Model -- 2012 MINI Cooper Roadster MPG -- 27 city/35 hwy mpg Engine -- 1.6-liter inline-4 with 121 horsepower Transmissions •Manual Transmission Price -- starts at $24,350 for the base model. The turbocharged S model begins at $27,350. Adding optional automatic for either model adds $1,250. At top of the lineup, the hot-rod John Cooper Works (JCW) package starts at $34,500 Every Mini option list is exceptionally long and tempting, and the Roadster's array of extra-cost features -- many of them custom appearance items -- is consistent with the brand. Navigation is offered as a stand-alone feature ($1,750), or in a package ($2,500) that includes Bluetooth, USB port and iPod/iPhone connectivity. Power top operation is $750, and a wind blocker, straddling the rollover hoops, is $250. Seat heaters are $500, and leather seating choices range from $1,000 to $2,250. My test drive in the roadster was a joy. This vehicle is a tight little sports car that could be a daily driver for those of us who choose not to carry too much gear. More information: -www.miniusa.com The top was easy to operate, even without the power option, and I found plenty of headroom with the top up as well. All this fun is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty. Competes with: •Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet •Fiat 500 Cabriolet •MX-5 Miata Likes: •Genuinely fun-to-drive •Distinctive styling •Excellent fuel economy •Surprisingly spacious for two people Dislikes: •Limited luggage space •Only seats 2 people •Noisy at highway speeds The new 2012 MINI Cooper Roadster is a sassy little roadster that is fun to drive and is highly customizable to add your own personal flair.
