Mini >> Cooper >> 2005 MINI Base 2dr Convertible

BMW got the resurrection of the Mini right.Being a third larger than the original, this thoroughly modern Mini could hardly be a slavish copy of that Issigonis-designed vehicle in which everyone from rock stars to the Royal Family (all behind darkened windows) darted about London in the swinging '60s of the century past.Nonetheless, designer Frank Stephenson caught the sassy, can-do attitude of the first Mini and made the new one a striking statement in style when it was introduced in 2002 as well as an e-ticket carnival ride.Not to mention a serious vehicle that can tote more than seems likely, can dry out wet pavement with its excellent handling and can stimulate more smiles than a precocious three-year-old at a grown-up party.

And that's just the Mini Cooper.The Mini Cooper S is even more fun with its higher levels of performance, though you're hardly 'settling' with the base model.

In both models the Mini Cooper delivers sports car handling and acceleration.It offers the cargo convenience of a hatchback and decent passenger seating for four, all stuffed into the shortest footprint on the road.It's a high-quality piece with BMW engineering, as solid as any German sedan.Its retro styling is as endearing as a bulldog (which inspired the design).

Furthermore, with its multitude of passive and active safety systems, the Mini Cooper has been called the safest small car on the world's highways.All this starts for less than $17,000.

That's if you can find one.The reception of the new Mini has exceeded expectations.The number of BMW dealers who sell the Mini is being expanded, however, though slowly and meticulously to assure, BMW says, that its standards continue to be met.For the same reason, changes since 2002 have been incremental, refinements and added options more than anything.

For 2005, however, Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S are available as convertibles.All models get a few interior enhancements for 2005, including new interior lighting, storage space and new trim options.Revised headlamps and tail lamps and a new grille subtly freshen the looks of the 2005 Mini.The Cooper and Cooper S get new manual gearboxes with revised gearing for improved acceleration, and the S gets a slight bump in power to 168 horsepower.
