Mini Hatch

MINI Cooper Convertible, 2025 model year onward The pick for short, frequent top-down hops around town. The soft top opens fully in 18 seconds at up to 18.6 mph, and with the roof closed it can slide back like a sunroof by up to about 16 inches when you want air without wind in your hair. It seats four for short trips, and the trunk holds 5.65 cubic feet with the top down and 7.59 with it up, enough for a grocery run. The 201-horsepower Cooper S gives it the extra punch freeway merges ask for; the base car makes 161.
