Overview
The 2015 Mini Cooper Roadster Convertible is a subcompact convertible offered in a standalone trim, starting off at a base MSRP of $26,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible and the Fiat 500 Convertible. Between 2 trims, the Cooper Roadster offers a single powertrain. The base engine is a 1.6L inline-4 capable of making 121 horsepower and 118 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic. The Cooper Roadster reaches 60 mph from zero in 10 seconds with the automatic transmission, which gets pumped up to 8.7 seconds with the manual. The Cooper Roadster manages a combined fuel economy of 30 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Cooper Roadster comes in really pull you towards itself.
