    Motor Trend's take: "Given that the rear seats in a four-place Mini Convertible are tiny, opting for the two-seat Roadster doesn't even sacrifice any real practicality."

    And that is why they make them both...

    We can both enjoy the one that suits us.

    All things being equal I would buy the Roadster in a heartbeat over the Convertible. No disrespect meant to convertible owners.

    I believe MINI may have hit a home run with the Roadster.

    My next MINI will be another tin top though. :D

    Wholeheartedly agree on points #1 and #2. As far as the next MINI...well, we'll see when the time comes. :wink:

    If the stars align, MINI Roadster will be in the garage replacing Scooter or if the CM does not hold up, it will go. :)

    I love the looks of the roadster, but I'd have to go with the convertible, so our yellow lab could go on rides too!
