Verdict
The MINI Convertible F67 costs RM28,500 more, but it turns that into a meaningful step up in pace and daily-use kit: 204 hp and 300 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 6.9 seconds, against 192 hp, 280 Nm and 7.1 seconds for the MINI Convertible F57 LCI 2. Its 18-inch wheels, 9.4-inch OLED display, Harman Kardon audio, active cruise control and 360-degree camera make it the more complete new-car choice. The F57 LCI 2 remains the sensible used buy if its four-year unlimited-mileage warranty and lower entry cost matter more than the newer cabin and assistance systems.
Pick the MINI Convertible F57 LCI 2 if you want to save RM28,500, retain front foglamps and get a four-year unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.
Pick the MINI Convertible F67 if you want 204 hp, active cruise control, a 360-degree camera and the newer 9.4-inch OLED infotainment system.
