Convertible Reviews

Top Gear’s guide to: Convertibles
Like the open air? Don’t wear a loose wig? Then a convertible or roadster just might be for you
What you need to know
Roadster
A Roadster was designed from the outset as a convertible, rather than re-designed
Targa
A ‘targa top’ consists of list out roof panels, not the convertible action
CC roof
The coupe convertible (CC) has a folding metal roof, not fabric. Safer, but heavier
Move along
Many convertibles can now raise/lower roofs while moving. It’s very hand in real life
Fat factor
A convertible usually has extra stiffening over a coupe, so tends to be heavier
Boot space
Beware roofs that eat into boot space when stowed – you can lose your entire luggage allowance
