1st Place: Mini Cooper Convertible

Vehicle Tested: 2006 MINI Cooper 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

MSRP of Test Vehicle: $23,490

What Works:

Pegs the fun meter, ingenious top operation, great shifter, smooth engine, top-notch steering, fold-down rear seat.

What Needs Work:

Some more horsepower would be nice, rear visibility is atrocious.

Bottom Line:

2nd Place: VW New Beetle Convertible 2.5

Vehicle Tested: 2006 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 5M)

MSRP of Test Vehicle: $25,940 Price It!!

What Works:

Super cute, well built, strong performance, high content for the money, tight chassis, standard stability control, supremely comfortable seats.

What Needs Work:

Poor visibility top up or down, no fold-down rear seat, tiny tachometer, not very engaging to drive.

Bottom Line:

The best boulevard cruiser for $25,000.
