Product Overview

Mini Convertible F57 LCI is an affordable subcompact convertible in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, the LCI has slight cosmetic updates that brings the car a more modern look. The underpinnings, however, remained the same.

Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 215L (8cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Mini Cooper S Convertible doesn't look all that different following its midlife facelift. The lights front and rear now use LEDs, for instance, while adaptive LED headlights are optional. A touchscreen infotainment interface and wireless mobile phone charging have also been added to the options list. There are new personalisation options, too, including car industry first 3D-printed components that buyers can customise with their own name or simple images.

Pros

Powerful turbocharged engine
Punchy straight-line performance
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lack of gearshift paddles

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The MINI Cooper S Convertible hits the sweet spot as a small and fun drop-top. It boasts an excellent blend of performance and value – and this mid-life facelift keeps things fresh. This isn't the particular MINI Convertible we'd choose, however – the regular Cooper version serves up very nearly as much fun.

Pros

Punchy and fun to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

No automatic gearbox
Rear bench and boot are a bit tight
