The remarkably fun-to-drive Mini Cooper
Convertible delivers more smiles and miles per gallon than any other
ragtop, stateside. Mini's four-seat go-kart uses a 1.6 liter four
banger to provide plenty of ooomph as it achieves 23/32 with a five-speed
manual and 22/30 with an automatic. (The 6-speed Mini Cooper S comes
in at 21/28 for the stick shift and 20/29 for the automatic.)
While close, none of the other convertibles
break the 30 MPG highway figure.
And if you've succumbed to the charms of
the gas-slurping 10 cylinder Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or eight
cylinder Bentley Azure, you needn't worry about the poor MPG figures.
At least they made it into the double digits.
