Newspaper article about convertible

Great article in today's Orlando Sentinel about the new Mini convertible. Written by Dan Neilwho writes for the Los Angeles Times. Great picture of an orange mini on the front page of the Ride section.

It's a firm ride - not for the faint of heart. :smile: Especially with those run craps.

L.A. Times. (Orlando just picked it up.) Dan Neil's one of the best automotive reviewers out there - literate, clever, insightful. Definitely worth reading.

Great article. My beef with all these "reviewers" is that they always say the ride is harsh, or rough, or something like that. They never say the ride is exactly what it should be in a two door sports car! It's like they are always comparing it to a "sports coupe". The article does seem to capture the fun of the Mini and that's what overshadows it's not so perfect features. And...personally, i think we here in central FL have more of the better convertible weather! (i live on the OTHER west coast!)

" In red, with white top and white wheels, the base-model Mini (115 horsepower) is so cute it can send you to Candy Land rehab."
