2005 MINI Cooper S Cabriolet Road Test

2005 MINI Cooper S Cabriolet Road Test - Roadtests - Auto123.com - Canadian automotive network:
A Literal Breath of Fresh Air

It's coming up on a 12-hour work day. I'm tired and I just want to go home. But home is another 45 minute drive away. Sigh. Yet, as I walk to the parking lot and spot my 2005 MINI Cooper S Cabriolet, the exhaustion and stress of my tedious job melt away (and I'm not talking about my writing gig). In fact, I run up the parking lot stairs in excitement because, after a day of scattered showers and sunny patches, the sunny patches remain enabling me to drop the top of my test MINI for a breezy and speedy drive home.

If someone were to ask me if I could sum up the MINI Cooper's personality in one word, a while ago I would have said 'fun'. Now I would say 'rejuvenating'. Rejuvenating? Yes, the MINI's personality taps into the tank of extra energy and excitement I thought I had exhausted throughout the day. It puts the smile back on my face and makes me look forward to driving no matter what the circumstances are, except maybe for rain, because then I can't go topless.
