The 2008 MINI Cooper Convertible does the unimaginable: It takes the effortless fun of the MINI Cooper hatchback and one-ups it with a roof that lowers or opens like a sunroof. The basic MINI silhouette is left mostly undisturbed--a good thing--but the convertible roof does slope a little at the rear, adding to the retro style. Inside, the classic new MINI dash with its large central speedometer and column-mounted tachometer are as funky as ever.
