One of the most common mistakes when buying a convertible is to believe that we will enjoy it in the summer. They can be used, yes, but it will be on days with mild temperatures and the occasional cloud. If not, the hood will be necessary to protect us from excessive degrees and the sun’s rays, along with its harmful effects on the skin. What’s more, England, a rainy country with little luck with the weather, is one of the biggest consumers of convertible vehicles . It will be because when they see an iota of sun they want to squeeze it to the fullest but also because they can do it without burning themselves or scorching the seats of their car. Having clarified this detail, and given that spring is approaching, we bring you a list of 12 ideal cabrios to enjoy the open-air road .
The cabrios segment is not the most successful in Spain, despite enjoying the perfect halftime seasons for them. The price is one of the great handicaps of these models, since many convertibles are far from being accessible to a large part of the population . If you are a true passionate, and scratch on the surface, you will realize that there are models for all types of pockets and very different tastes. This type of model welcomes options ranging from the urban electric Fiat 500 to the luxurious and exclusive Bentley Bacalar, both presented at the ‘no’ 2020 Geneva Motor Show.
The truth is that, despite the little commercial success, the brands do not give up having their convertible model. For this reason, we will find versions of all kinds and segments as diverse as SUVs (Volkswagen T-Roc Cabrio) or utility vehicles (Smart ForTwo Cabrio) . The advantages of having a convertible are quite obvious and even superficial, which is why they are usually an object of whim. They are models that allow you to feel everything, from the air on your face to the sound of exhaust, and can even be used in winter thanks to the advanced air conditioning systems. Of course, we must take into account some disadvantages such as: the reduction of the trunk (space for the retractable roof), maintenance of the hood (if it is canvas) and the lower rigidity of the body, an aspect that affects its dynamic behavior.
