I would like to suggest that the combination of ASCII.jp lighting and MINI convertible is the strongest.

MINI/Cooper S CONVERTIBLE (4.53 million yen). The price of the interview car is 5.046 million yen.

The idol group "Pure Aphelia" Terasaka Yumi has a longing for MINI. The super-private project "MINI Mini Battle", which takes a pilot ride every month, has finally come to an end. This time as a holiday, the four-seat convertible "MINI CONVERTIBLE" is specially introduced.

It's because it's winter that I want to run in a convertible!

Mr. Youdao of ASCII.jp Automotive Department likes MINI very much! So this interview is always fun! Hartz, "the interview with the convertible in December, isn't it cold? "there was a complaint shortly after the temptation. Indeed, the convertible "tanned", "dishevelled" and "running conspicuously" are unpopular with girls, and it is only natural for the minister to protest violently. But K, the member in charge of the dispatch, magnificently passed the fierce protest. Because member K is a convertible user. So, "Winter is the convertible!" It would be great to run under Ilmi in a convertible! "I persuaded the minister who didn't like it. Not only that, in June, when the series began, it was decided to conduct an open mode interview without authorization in December, and even completed the trial ride in early October. Although the date of the interview has not been set yet.

The current MINI convertible model lineup includes the COOPER (3.89 million yen) with a 1.5L straight-3 turbine engine, the COOPER S (4.53 million yen) with a 2-liter straight-4 turbine engine, and the hot model Johon Cooper Works (5.71 million yen). The maximum output power is 136hp, 192hp and 231hp, respectively. The Cooper and Cooper S are also different from the latest 8-speed DCT mission relative to the 7-speed DCT,JCW. This time I borrowed the COOPER S grade. It includes a model with an option of about 5 million yen.

MINI Yours software executives with the British flag as the theme (109,000 yen)

"the choice is less than 1 million yen this time," said Minister Youdao, who looked at the price list of the test drive. One of the eye-catching is the top of the joint Jacques design MINI Yours software (109,000 yen)? "it's a kind of rock and roll, isn't it? So cute! "this is my favorite look. "although the front is also lovely, the minister is even cuter! Sam responded to member K, but the Yunmichi was read by the minister.

The way to open it is Cantan, an electric switch. The action is only about 18 seconds, so the action is completed while waiting for the signal. So even if it rains suddenly, it won't get wet! And midway can also stop to enter the skylight state, you can easily enjoy the open state at any time.

What makes people care about the convertible is the baggage compartment. Because there is a soft roof storage space, so the volume will be reduced in any case. However, the capacity of the back seat when standing on the back is 215 liters, which feels like ensuring the volume of the small car and the FIAT500. If you put down the back of the back seat, it will be greatly expanded to 661 liters! You won't complain when you get here. However, due to the storage of the soft roof, the entrance of the suitcase door is very narrow, and the car body reinforced structure crosses, so there is a height restriction. By the way, using a lever that lifts the back end of the soft top up slightly, the entrance will be wider to fit into the suitcase. This is a good practical idea.

The minister in charge of inspecting the room. "the color and texture of this fabric is really good," people like it very much.

Then confirm the back seat. Because it is originally a 3Door-based car, there is no way to have a narrow four-seat foot. The big man sat in the driver's seat and there was almost no room under his feet. By the way, it also confirms the headroom when the hood is closed, ensuring that it is almost the same as the 3Door. "forget it, including the baggage compartment, for families with two children." Minister Yunmichi also accepted the words of member S. "isn't it fun for the innocent Aphelia 10 members to go for a ride in a convertible? Member K asked, with Minister Dao vaguely speaking.

The driver's seat is a MINI-style space. The latest model of the instrument panel is a 5-inch full liquid crystal with good visibility. The head-up display, which includes optional equipment such as digital packaging and Apple Carplay, is priced at 141,000 yen. Because the navigation screen will be displayed, it will be very convenient. There are two types of USB: Type-An and Type-C, and Type-C supports PD. The mobile phone charges quickly, which is a great help, but even the laptop can't be charged.

Although it was filmed by a convertible, there was a strong wind accident.

"when it comes to convertibles, you'll run along the beach! "therefore, this time I went to Chiba Prefecture to shoot, and on the eve of the interview, it was a storm. Fortunately, although the rain rose, the Aquarine wind was stronger than the wind speed of 19m. Once filming started, the hair was super Saiyan, and the sea breeze was sticky. The blouse expands like a maternity dress. Originally planned to shoot with a lovely dress, but because of this situation, the firm's judgment is not good, the member of the photography department K is also depressed.

Without a question and answer, he opened the roof and ran over and bit the member of Sparta, K. The minister's first sentence was: "I always feel that. That's amazing. It's only natural to make a first impression today.

"I'm very excited about exhaust sounds. It's not like John Cooper Wax, but it's the sound of such a system. " On this basis, let MINI run "may be very happy". "what makes people care is that when the roof is opened, the lower part of the mirror is not visible on the roof. So, if the car is close to the rear, there will be times when you don't know. "in addition, Youdao's minister does not seem to give people a negative impression. Looking at the happy driving, there seems to be little negative impression of the convertible itself.

The handling is simply the thick and sexy height of MINI. Because it is open, there will be no weakness. On the contrary, the weight of the car at the bottom is nearly 100kg heavier than the 3Door, which makes people feel low and stable. Maybe it's because of its weight, ride comfort and mild atmosphere compared with 5Door. Because Cooper S is a high-power version, member S likes "what a nice car". Member K also said: "this MINI, the accident may be Atari!" "said with a smile. In particular, the S-mode running of the gearshift lever on the side of the passenger seat is comfortable in itself. Member K, who likes this very much, also drives in this mode when he takes to the street. This S mode is really recommended!
