Sadly not chosen as often in the UK, convertibles are defined by their retractable or detachable roofs, and as such are most enjoyed in the summer sunshine.
But, if you’ve ever been driving down the road behind a convertible on a surprisingly good-weathered day and found yourself feeling a little pang of jealousy as their roof goes down, then this could be the type of car for you.
Whilst convertibles are fun to drive and there's nothing like putting the roof down, they aren't known for their boot or rear passenger space, so if that's important you might need to consider a different type of car.
Check the EuroNCAP ratings as you're viewing different models as you'll want to make sure you and your passengers are as safe as can be.
Knowing your budget is key with convertibles, you'll also need to take running costs into account as they tend to cost more to insure.
