(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/13 -- What Car? has awarded the MINI Cooper S Roadster the title of best open-top at their esteemed Car of the Year Awards 2013.

The critically acclaimed MINI Cooper S Roadster starts from GBP 20,935 OTR and is packed with technology and a high standard specification, which really sets it apart from other cars in its class."
