Ya the hardtop is fine but not the Convertible, Countyman, or the Clubman.

thats interesting...the Clubman gets the same seats, etc. as the hardtop. You can understand different readings from a convertible and even the Countryman, but wonder what accounts for the difference in two cars that are basically identical on the interior?

This is why the convertible has an "Openometer." High miles on the Openometer equates to good health.
