Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the steering feel still impresses passengers.

2026 MINI Cooper Convertible review
MINI Cooper Convertible: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review
7.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 MINI Cooper Convertible is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Engine note that rewards the throttle; strong brakes. Stiff ride on broken roads and limited cargo space, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $36,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.
