Caffeinated or... notAs with the coupes, the big difference between the standard Mini Cooper convertible and the Cooper S convertible is what resides under the bonnet. We drove manual transmission versions of each. The base Cooper's 115-hp engine is paired with a five-speed, while the 168-horse S gives you six gears to pick from.Before we jumped behind the wheel, we were prepared to declare the base car a slug. After all, even a base Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla has more power than the Mini Cooper. But it turned out that there was enough zip on tap to satisfy most of our staff. Further, the refinement of the little four meant that taking it up to 6,000 rpm didn't make you feel like you were beating on the car. The hard numbers aren't going to impress your buddies — the 0-60 sprint takes 9.8 seconds and the quarter takes 17.14 ticks — but keep the revs up and there's enough scoot to deal with heavy city traffic and open freeways alike.
