 Let's face it--the kind of weather we have here in Reno often makes us the envy of the rest of the country. We'll take our temperature at 70-plus degrees for the better part of the year and, most importantly, our sun, sun, sun! And what better way to enjoy our favorable native climate than out on the open road with the music up and the top down. 

Reno weather is convertible weather, which is why we here at MINI of Reno are excited to bring you the 2016 MINI Cooper Convertible. Fast, fun, and fully loaded, the MINI Convertible is your ticket to an endless summer. 

Find out the ways in which the 2016 MINI Convertible is already making believers out of drivers across Reno, Sparks, and Incline Village:
Optimized Performance


The 2016 MINI Convertible's 1.5L, 3-cylinder, TwinPower Turbocharged engine helps to deliver all the zip you've come to expect from a MINI Cooper. The 6-speed manual model (with optional Steptronic for automatic shifting) also comes standard with an adjustable Driving Mode system, which allows you to match the car's handling to your mood; Sport Mode allows for tighter steering and a more thrill-seeking driving experience, while Green Mode helps optimize the car's fuel delivery. Drivers of all types will appreciate the MINI Convertible's impressive 38 highway mpg (27 mpg city), so that trip down the 395 to Yosemite can be spent enjoying the scenery, rather than waiting for a fill-up.


Interior Comfort


While still offering the cozy ride MINI enthusiasts are looking for, the 2016 MINI Convertible has stretched itself an additional 4.1 inches in order to provide increased comfort for its occupants. Even with the top up, there is still an ample amount of cargo space (close to 8 cubic feet), allowing you and your guest space in back to effortlessly store your duffel bags or roll-ons and hit the road with ease. Drivers will also love the seemingly limitless interior customization options available, including a variety of premium upholstery choices and countless ambient lighting combinations (12 unique settings and 255 different color tones).

Integrated Technology


With the 2016 MINI Convertible, no luxuries have been overlooked. MINI Connected is a generous standard feature which can be used to integrate all your varying technological needs on a 6.5 inch high-resolution display. Drivers can enjoy Spotify®, GoPro®, and MINI's very own cutting-edge Journey Mate trip-planning software. All of this helps eliminate the multi-tasking you might be tempted to do, and allows you to keep your eyes on the road ahead.


Forward Thinking


With this new convertible, MINI has really thought of everything. While traditional convertibles only offer two roof phases, the 2016 MINI Convertible boasts a 3-in-1 soft-top roof, with a half-open, extended sunroof functionality that can be at adjusted at any driving speed. Even more advanced is the Rain Warner feature, offered exclusively from MINI through the Journey Mate app: when impending rain is forecasted in the area of your MINI, Rain Warner will send an alert to your phone, instructing you to put up your soft-top.
