Best Convertibles To Soak Up The Sun

Summer is just around the corner and what better way to enjoy spending time in the sunshine than driving about in a brand new cool convertible? It might sound like an expensive luxury, but it really doesn’t have to cost as much as you’d think, and you won’t have to fork out to buy a new BMW, Porsche or Lexus to be out there enjoying the sun in your new motor. Smaller city cars are becoming more and more popular as not only do they cost less but they are also more fuel efficient. Here are five of the best convertibles available this summer that won’t leave you bankrupt

Nissan Micra C+C
The Nissan Micra has held its position at the top of the small car market for years, and the newer convertible model comes equipped with a glass roof that folds neatly away so you get panoramic views and a sense of being outdoors even when the roof is up. It’s cute, sleek and best of all it doesn’t even cost much more than it would to buy a Nissan Micra in its normal form, without the folding roof!

Mitsubishi Colt Cabriolet
With an effortlessly smooth folding metal roof, the Colt Cabriolet is a small convertible for people who like the little details. It has loads of little touches that make everyday driving easier, and also has generous storage space in the boot, making it one of the most competitive cars in its class.

Audi TT Roadster
Alright so this one does cost more but really it had to be on the list. Audis are well known for keeping one step ahead of most other popular cars and the Roadster model stays true to this rule. Its sleek interior, smooth handling and powerful engine make it one of the most desirable small convertibles around – if you want to buy an Audi this could be the perfect car for you.

Mazda MX-5
The MX-5has been a common sight on the roads since it first launched in the late 1980s, and it’s not hard to see why. The aesthetically attractive interior and lightweight body ensure that it is a fun and sporty drive. Whereas previous models have all come with a soft roof, the latest version also has the option of an electrically powered hard top which folds back completely in just 12 seconds.

Mini Convertible
On the surface it looks as if all Minis are essentially the same, but the fact is that you can personlise and customise your Mini in countless different ways. Obviously the convertible looks slightly different to most Minis thanks to its canvas roof, but there is an endless list of other optional extras so you can customise the car to your exact specifications.
