Default Mini Cabriolet test drive ...

I had the opportunity to test a mini one cabriolet today ...

really enjoyed it ...

Such as in the original Mini, the cabrio version seems a bit strange... it looks unnatural..

Have you ever driven a fixed roof Mini? If yes, what about the differences behind the wheel?

IMO while the regular one is really nice, the cabrio is still nice but to girly

I'm going to test the normal version normally this weekend and then I will tell you more about the differences ...

what I can say is that the vision at the back very bad is ... you can't see a thing when the roof is closed due to the seats at the back,
once open, the view is a little better ... but standard there are park-sensors ... wich work very well
