<p>Still love my R52. It still draws stares and smiles from people after 10+ years.</p>
<p>I find it curious that they didn’t use an ‘S’ for the R52 in all the comparison photos. It would’ve been nice to see the three variants of the same trim level.</p>
<p>Agree, my R52 Cooper S is beautiful</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it’s the slightly more raked windshield but I prefer the lines on this iteration. The union jack roof is rather distinctive as well.</p>
<p>I still drive my R52 Sidewalk everyday. At 220000km it still drives like dream. At the mo I think the best looking convertible is R57, but that is probably my sight being used to it. I can see myself liking F57 even more in future. I like the bold design of F generation MINI.</p>
<p>Those taillights for the F generation are still way too big and just don’t look right, IMO.</p>
<p>Not only is F57 the best looking MINI Convertible, it’s also the best looking UKL1 based MINI.</p>
