Convertible car often requires a lot of compromise, but if you want to have your cake and eat it too four-seat convertible sports offer a minimum of practice and the style and the operator of the wind in your hair. We are talking about drop-top BMW, Audi, Saab, Volvo and Mercedes: Yes, the class that you thought you could not afford.

But wait. If you have a tight budget in mind, you've probably been thinking about something else. Indeed, there are two other major sectors in the category drop down above (roadsters, convertibles and affordable hatchback based on) - but you should know that both have their drawbacks.

Roadsters, for example FGM or Mazda MX-5, are only two car seats with very little luggage space and hard drive set-ups. Best in other words, to buy a car as a second or third, when the sun comes out. Affordable convertibles hatchback based (as, for example, open-top versions of the VW Golf and Renault Megane), however, are much more practical, but are often poorly constructed and say to drive. Although they come with back seats, they are generally too small for adults, except for the shortest routes. trunk space is also very limited.

As you can imagine, there is a big difference between your convertible or cabriolet design based on a small cheap car and commercial construction at a price.

This means you will not have to worry about whether the car you are considering may have been stored for nine months of the year, with all the ensuing problems inherent in such a sedentary lifestyle.

Of course, there are crossover cars from other sectors. You could, at best, have included a Mercedes SLK, Porsche Boxster or BMW Z3 in this category - and you may want: quality of construction you can expect certainly will not disappoint. We did not because they are compact, purpose-designed two-seat Roadsters only. These shades can be indifferent to you and if so, by all means to expand your search.

It is also interesting to note that you might consider older versions of Convertible exotic like Porsche 911 or Mercedes SL as an alternative to cars in the "desirable but expensive item. It is tempting, but likely to come with big bills. Your call ....

Cheap & Cheerful

If you spend that kind of money, you can run for something a bit more elegant. In Nice, E36 BMW 3 Series Convertible, or, alternatively, a later, Audi Cabriolet worth a look. Six cylinder cars are the most desirable options here.

If you want something with a sporty feel a little, try a Toyota Celica Cabriolet or, better yet, an Alfa Romeo Spider. The Italian car looks and sounds beautiful, but for most buyers, there will be the choice of 2.0 liter Twinspark. If you're feeling really adventurous and can cope with the occasional hiccup, you might even chance your arm on a Maserati Spyder Biturbo start.
