MINI Cabrio Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2004–2008) — First Generation
The first-generation MINI Cabrio brings open-top driving to a compact car. If you’re considering one for everyday use, weigh its appeal with the roof down against your needs for passenger space and luggage room.
The 1.6 AT is one example of a first-generation MINI Cabrio engine and transmission pairing, combining gasoline power with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Automatic gear changes ease stop-start driving. On a test drive, check how smoothly it pulls away and how readily it responds when you accelerate.
