2022 Mini Cooper S Convertible Review: Better at Fun Than Sun
The Interior
As is characteristic of Mini vehicles, the Cooper S Convertible cabin has many unique design cues, including Union Jack accents, a red starter switch, and an illuminated ring around the dashboard multimedia screen that reflects things like cabin temperature and audio volume changes with a color-coordinated response.The Cooper S Convertible has a standard touchscreen multimedia system with an 8.8-inch widescreen display. The system can also be controlled by a knob and some buttons aft of the shifter, but I’m glad Mini includes a touchscreen; the console knob and buttons are positioned in a way that makes them difficult to use comfortably.Is It a Good Convertible?
Like the car itself, the Cooper S Convertible’s standard power soft top has some unique characteristics, some of which add to the driving experience and some that detract from it.In our testing, it took about 16 seconds to lower the top and 13 seconds to raise it. The top also has a sunroof feature, wherein you can retract the portion over the front seats but leave the rest of it in place. An optional Mini Yours top features a Union Jack emblem in gray across its entirety.Safety and Driver-Assist Features
The 2022 Cooper S convertible hasn’t been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The convertible’s standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking system was rated advanced by IIHS out of a possible basic, advanced or superior.Should You Buy the Cooper S Convertible?
The Cooper S Convertible is engaging to drive, it has unique styling cues and offers interesting personalization options. It has its share of quirks, too, and whether you find them charming or annoying will be a good indicator of whether it’s the right convertible for you.
