Ours is still looking fab and its a complete joy to drive....sooo smooth. Trouble is that my other half is always sitting in the driving seat (i suppose thats fair enough as its hers) and i dont get a look in................apart from when its dirty and needs a wash.
I feel that we have the best of both worlds, the nice convertible for wind in the hair and the
MCS when you do want that bit of grip and speed that only a tin top can deliver.
Funny thing is that i know that one is based on the older model but i do love to drive them both but without doubt, the Sidewalk has a little bit more quirkeyness about it which is typically Mini.
