Convertible car reviews

Not exactly a box-fresh car, but a thoroughly welcome one nonetheless. Follow its lead in not taking life too seriously

Everything about the new Vanquish is big, and now there’s endless headroom to further amplify the experience

Reverting to an old school soft-top plays perfectly to the Roma’s stylistic strengths. Less frantic than the Coupe, and all the better for it

Aston’s storming recent form continues. Has its flaws, but this much character in a car from 2025 is a rare treat indeed

Looks slick, drives adroitly, and bigger engines and bougier specs see it shine brightest, of course. Pity the tech spoils it

A Maserati convertible that’s every bit as good as those words sound. Engaging, well-engineered and effortlessly chic

The Mercedes SL combines real performance with GT-like refinement and tech. But it's fiddly to operate and strangely unengaging to drive

An almost irritatingly complete GT and sports car. Feels like £110k’s worth, top up or top down

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

Aston at its best. And possibly the best Aston. A classic, elegant GT you no longer have to make excuses for inside and on the road

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

A brilliant GT, now with a bit more headroom

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

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
