Spring is officially here! Trees are budding, temperatures are rising, and the future forecast promises warm, sunshine-filled days stretching late into the evening.
If you’re an automotive enthusiast like us, that sounds like an invitation to get behind the wheel and hit the open road. Trust us, we get it. There’s just something special about the mood-boosting ability of a sunny springtime drive.
No vehicle captures this energy better than a convertible. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorites for you to enjoy this spring.
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Starting with a classic sports car that's both affordable and fuel-efficient - the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Thanks to its lightweight design, this compact two-seater is extremely nimble with quick acceleration. This leads to agile and responsive handling that makes sharp turns and tight twists a thrill to navigate.
Moving inside, the interior is comfortable and equipped with the latest technology you’d expect in a modern vehicle. However, space is a premium in this compact vehicle. So, it may not be ideal for longer trips where luggage is required, but it’s perfect for a zip across town or a joy ride along a scenic road.
When it comes to roofs, there are two options. The standard MX-5 Miata features a cloth soft-top roof, while the MX-5 Miata RF “retractable fastback” comes with a hardtop roof that allows you to switch from convertible to coupe with the push of a button.
MINI Cooper Convertible
Few cars are more recognized solely by their body style than the MINI Cooper. The iconic go-kart-like design may be fun and playful on the surface, but for its size, the MINI Cooper Convertible and its trio of available turbocharged engines can pack a punch.
With seating for four passengers, the MINI Cooper Convertible is roomier than expected. Plus, an industry-first 9.4-inch circular touchscreen infotainment system highlights its tasteful interior.
One of the MINI Convertible’s most noteworthy features is its soft-top roof. Not only can it fully retract in under 20 seconds, but it can also stop halfway to create a makeshift sunroof. This flexibility allows you to enjoy as much of the convertible experience as you want at any given moment.
BMW 4 Series
For some, driving a convertible is about much more than having the top down. It can also be their personification of luxury and performance. The convertible models of the BMW 4 Series offer both.
On the outside, you’re sure to be impressed by the bold and aggressive look of BMW 4 Series vehicles. Enter inside to enjoy a premium, luxury-filled interior that you’d expect from the German automaker. Combine that with a choice of powerful engine options under the hood, and you’re sure to enjoy a thrilling yet refined driving experience. Craving even more muscle on the road? Upgrade to the M4 Competition xDrive and experience the adrenaline of over 520 hp and a sub-four seconds 0-60 mph time.
Don’t forget. The 4 Series Convertibles’ retractable roof can be raised or lowered in just 10 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. So, unexpected weather and noisy streets will never disrupt your journey.
Enjoy the Thrill
Convertibles deliver an energy and sense of freedom that no other vehicle can replicate. When the top is down, you are completely immersed in your surroundings and able to enjoy the world around you.
Plus, let’s be honest. Who doesn’t look cool driving a convertible? They come in many stylish designs that can invoke confidence and set you apart from the rest of the road.
So, wherever you’re headed this spring, don’t forget to drop the top, soak up the sunshine, and let the wind blow through your hair. Enjoy everything spring has to offer behind the wheel of a convertible.
