What changes would you like to see to the cabrio in 2009?
Someone started this thread in the 2007 coupe category and I thought it would be a great thread for those of us with cabrios as we have our own wish lists.
MINI will be coming out with the R57 cabrio in 2009, based on the R56. But I am hoping they will make some special modifications for the R57 to make the top down motoring experience even more enjoyable.
So let me start the wish list with this:
AIR CONDITIONED SEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoo hoo! Wouldn't THAT be awesome!

I would like to see side airbags for rear passengers. This is one of my pet peeves with the current Cabrio.... Rear passengers have no airbag protection whatsoever, other than the rear anti-roll bars. I would like to see 2-3 inches more shoulder room in the back seat area as well. Improve the quality of the cloth retractable roof as well. Another problem in the current Cabrio is that the rear glass shatters, you have to replace the entire roof assembly! They need to design the new roof to allow for replacement of the rear glass without having to yank out and replace the entire roof system.

Hrmmm...let's see. This is challenging given that I'm having a passionate love affair with my '06 but ~
A boot light - it's like a cave in there
Jet Black - bring it baaaaack
One touch button that does it all - back windows, fronts, and then roof
I'm sure there's more...I'll contemplate it on my motoring adventure going home.

Our roof button does it all (but it could be better). When raising the top goes & then all 4 windows roll up if you hold the button. When lowering, the top goes down & then if you tap the button (twice I think) all the windows will lower themselves

The burble is caused by less than ideal tuning.
We already have a bimmer in the garage, yet my wife and I fight over the MINI.
I used to like the burble -- then I heard some of the old school Minis at the Dragon, and now I love it and wouldn't want my car without it.

I swear I have a boot light. Now you have made me doubt myself so I will have to check when I get home but if you don't it must be burnt out

There are also a number of owner-performed back seat lighting solutions - but an OEM solution is definitely needed.
