What's your opinions on Mini-Convertible?

chobit

Friend of my has been looking to buy a  new car for a couple of years already.

What he wanted is a convertible that fits 4 with stick.  There really isn't anything for Japanese car, and the best option out there seems to be the Mini-Cooper Convertible.

He is at his late 30, with 2 kids in case you wonder why 4 seated..!

What's your opinions on the Mini, especially for it's reliability?

Thanks

Chobit, certainly you ought to know better than Mini convertible being able to seat 4?!

Even with the MkII Mini, the back seats are strictly for dogs or tossing your bag down. There is no way any human-sized beings (kids included!) can sit properly for any extended amount of time. There is no legroom in the back. At all!

I really can't think of any 4-seat convertible with stick shift. A4 or 3-series? Do they come with a stick?

3er definately comes with stick. You can do 3er convert + stick. Not cheap tho, of course.

Just check out the G37C, looks good.. but probably too expensive =P
VW is probably not very good for reliability, and the IS250 Con. doesn't come with stick as far as I know.

He wants to seat 2 kids in a mini conv???  Did he think about safety?

I don't think 2 car seats will fit at the back seats of a mini (or IS250).

MINI冇錯係一部幾有樂趣既車，但係我麻麻地鐘意convertible個樣，再加上都幾多小毛病，內籠又細又膠，如果你問我會唔會買，我只會睇下有冇得lease，買足warranty 去lease幾年玩夠掟番俾佢
