Convertible car reviews

A brilliant GT, now with a bit more headroom

A car of impressive abilities, the Mercedes SL combines real performance with GT-like refinement and tech

Doesn't create a new must-have niche, or take itself too seriously, and neither should you

The all-important 0-124mph sprint takes 0.3 seconds longer than the coupe, but if we’re honest, we think we could cope with that...

Lexus blends art, science, lux and a heart-melting exhaust note to create its most loveable car since the LFA

The MX-5 dishes out fizzy fun at entirely legal speeds and costs peanuts to run. What more could you want?

An appreciation chariot for the glory of naturally aspirated V10 engines. Sensible, yet a massive event

BMW’s four-wheel-drive-only four-seat convertible, now with a fabric roof and some serious chops when it comes to going fast. That’ll be the 500+ bhp, then

A lovingly created, better-than-new classic Ferrari, and the most affordable (!) way to get a California Spyder into your life

The electric 500 convertible is compromised, but that won't diminish its appeal to fans

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

What do you get for someone who has everything? A soft-top off-roading speedboat, that’s what

An enormously well-rounded true four-seat cabrio… but open cars are all about style. Does this have the right kind?

A chiselled and upgraded version of Ferrari’s ‘2+ GT Spider’, the Portofino. Think evolution rather than revolution

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

Time is starting to tell for the Jaguar F-Type. Old school driving experience isn't without charm, but sophistication is lacking

It looks good, and it makes you feel good. What more do you need?

Less a car, more a sort of mobile shrine to V10 worship. The show-off's super-spyder of choice

If you want to experience the best chassis in the business, it's here. And thankfully the 6cyl is back, too

A 715bhp super-cabrio that’s beguiling at 7 miles an hour. What a device.

A genuinely modern Morgan; a wild and wonderful sports car that's more liveable than any of its forebears
