hi everyone, i just wanted to introduce myself i'm Cynthia Orozco aka Chi, i'm from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and I got here on an effort to look for some pros and cons about the mini convertible and help to decide whether to buy a mini convertible (which was my first choice) or the hardtop (after thinking that a convertible might not be too good)

i had a 2005 mini but know i'm driving a jeep unlimited (as you may see im used to the topless experience) but i know its not exactly the same driving a jeep that driving a mini !! ... and i'm used to the noise with the top up but i was expecting the mini to be quieter... but well... im about to read threads all over the forum and if i can't make a choice i will come back and ask for your help !!!

thank you !

 

Bienvenida

 

Welcome!

 

thank you ! im learning so much about the new minis here =)

 

I have an '09 MCS convertible and it is relatively quiet. I did not notice an '08 MCS hatchback loaner that I recently had being that much quieter than my convertible. I have the top down almost ALL the time. A MINI is great. A CONVERTIBLE MINI with the top down is extraordinarly fun. You can hear the purr of the exhaust and it is way too cool

 

Hi, Cynthia!!

Looking forward to seeing your MINI once you decide!

 

thanks for all =)
by now i think ive made my mind and im going for the convertible.. i dont know when exactly but as soon as i have it i will definitely post pics !!

 

Awesome.

 

Congratulations on your decision I have had 9 convertibles and have had a convertible all but 1 of the past 30 years and I am not even close to being tired of having a convertible. It is just theraputic to be able to drop that top!!!
