^LOL What? A hard top, when down, somehow makes the sky narrower? Did I read that right?]]>Mar 14th 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/Mar 14th 2008 9:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/Mar 14th 2008 9:24AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/Mar 14th 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/
Now, PERHAPS the point that a SMART convertible is less open, because it's drastically different.

You show me how the ONE car that I know of that has BOTH a hard and soft option (the Chrysler Sebring) has a different view of the sky for one versus the other.

First, the body roll is just unbelievable; feels incredibly loose and wobbly. I'm sure some people don't notice it, but to me it was very pronounced (this was an '06 "S" model).

Second and far more important from a safety standpoint, the only way to drive this thing is top down. With the top up, you've got gigantic blind spots on the sides, and the hole through the gigantic roll hoops in the back seems to be dime-sized.]]>Mar 14th 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/Mar 14th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/

DING DING DING!]]>Mar 14th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/
Either way, the MINI is my favorite car out there right now.

MINI and pledges... HA!! Before the redesign, their websites said they would NEVER use turbochargers, superchargers are the only way to go for instant throttle response. Then turbochargers got better (or someone started making smaller ones) and suddenly MINI forgets they said to never use turbos.]]>Mar 14th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/convertible-coopers-will-stick-with-cloth/Mar 14th 2008 1:05PM
