Used 2020 Mini Cooper for sale 

The Mini Cooper Convertible has 2 trims on offer for the year. The Mini Cooper convertible and The Mini Cooper S Convertible. The Cooper, being the elementary trim gets a 1.5L Twin Power Turbo Engine which holds the capacity to fabricate a handy 134 hp along with a 162 lb.-ft. Of torque and is priced at $29,259.

The other trim is the Cooper S, which is priced at $33,250 and is a step up from the base Cooper model. The Cooper S is gifted with a 2.0L Twin Power Turbo Engine and serves the driver a punchy 189 hp along with 228 lb.-ft. Of torque. Besides the engine enhancement, the Cooper S also receives 16-inch Alloy wheels and a hood scoop.

Which trim to go for?

We would recommend you to go for the Cooper S variant since it gets a bigger engine and Is capable of producing 55 more ponies than those produced by the stock 1.5L engine. Moreover, the supplementary features such as sport front seats, 16-inch alloys and LED foglights totally justify the $4000 bridge between the two variants.

The 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible obtains power from a 1.5L Twin Power Turbo which generates a quirky 134 hp along with 162 lb.-ft. Of torque. The Cooper Convertible also puts forward a bigger 2.0L Twin Power Turbo Engine, which is capable of producing 189 hp along with 228 lb.-ft. Of torque. All variants get FWD as standard and your bucks cannot get you an AWD, cause the company does not offer that perk on the Cooper Convertible.

The transmission duties are taken care of by a 6-speed transmission which does a decent job with no as such noticeable lag.

However, things begin to go downside with the Automatic transmission. The Automatic transmission feels ponderous and a bit too heavy when paired with the given power of a Cooper.

How fast is this Mini?

No Mini offering has ever been renowned for its straight-line sprinting capabilities. The 1.5L Twin Power Turbo engine feels fun to drive but lags on the acceleration aspect. The Fiat 124 Spider Classic puts forward a similar performance.

The ride asks for 6.2 seconds in order to jog to the 60 MPH mark from a standstill and can cover the quarter of a mile distance in a span of 14.2 seconds. 

Most of the rides of this segment post a 0-60 figure which is above the 6-second mark. However, it's the Mustang EcoBoost that posts the best acceleration time of 5.0 seconds, owing to the huge power difference. 

Braking

The braking arrangement of the 2020 Mini Cooper inspires great confidence in urban traffic scenarios. Accredits to its go-kart-like body structure the Mini feels exceptionally light-footed on coroners and leaves it effortlessly. The Mini uses a Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) on corners which screen steering info and acceleration to decide the heading you need to go. For the situation, your Mini begins to stray, at that point the framework applies right brake weight to individual brakes and changes motor torque to keep up the right line.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Club Convertible ranks seconds with 6.1 seconds under its belt. What to say about the Ford Mustang EcoBoost Convertible, with just 5.0 second 0-60 time, it's in a different league altogether.

How good is the Ride and Handling?

The Cooper nameplate has always demonstrated a fun to drive a set of wheels. Be it a club-hopping weekend or a relaxed highway cruise, the Mini Cooper is always up for an intriguing and peppy ride. Its compact structure and go-kart-like body shape set the right mood for you to grab the steering wheel and hit the gas.

The base engine though produces a bit less horsepower but is still enough to put an ear-to-ear smile on your face, even in extreme stop and go traffic scenarios. The suspension is capable enough to swallow most of the shocks out there, and what to say about the gearbox, it’s utterly buttery smooth.

The breakage of this figure goes as - 28 MPG in city traffic and 38 MPG on highway drives. The Mini Cooper is nothing less than a best friend for the dead dinosaurs.

Going by its name, the Mini actually starts feeling like a Mini as soon as you try to fit in more than 2 people. Going by its shape and size, the Cooper offers relaxed and roomy spacing for the front passengers, but things start getting cramped up when the backseat is forced to accommodate passengers.

As a two-man vehicle, the Mini Cooper is bounty alright with steady front seats and a tall stance. Back seat travelers won't toll well on anything longer than a trip around town

Comparing the Mini to its rivals however, you will notice that the Cooper convertible ranks as one of the most spacious convertibles of the lot. The rear seats feel comfortable and offer a lot of headroom and legroom. Overall, the cabin is very accommodating.

How much Cargo can you carry?
