Best convertible cars and cabriolets to buy 2024

While the little, all-electric Fiat, with its zippy and near-silent drivetrain, is at its best on city streets, it will also take on long motorway journeys without feeling out of its depth. Fiat says the 500C can cover up to 199 miles when fully charged, while a 10 to 80 per cent top-up takes around 30 minutes from most DC rapid chargers. 

6. Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Pros Cons

Supercar looks
Blistering performance
V8 soundtrack

Heavy
Pricey options
Limited availability in UK

Prices from £100,000

The C8 Corvette is a far more sophisticated machine than its ancestors, so much so that it can safely be regarded as a fully-fledged supercar. It still has a V8 heart, but this is now mid-mounted for better weight distribution. The eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also on par with Porsche’s renowned PDK system. 

Perhaps most crucially, though, the Corvette now looks like a proper supercar, and opting for the convertible means you can feel the wind in your hair while blasting onto a top speed of 184mph.

7. MG Cyberster

Pros Cons

Impressive battery range
Distinctive styling
Plush interior

Not the most exciting to drive
Heavy
Intrusive safety systems

Prices from £50,000

After a hiatus of over ten years, MG has finally brought its iconic octagonal badge back to the sports car sector. Don’t go thinking that this is just a brief nostalgia trip, either, as the Cyberster is an all-new electric car

This zero-emission powertrain means the Cyberster keeps things sensible when it comes to running costs, and the 77kWh battery has a claimed maximum range of well over 250 miles. The MG Cyberster isn’t the most exciting car to hurl into corners but there is a healthy dose of power on offer, especially in the dual-motor GT model which produces 503bhp and 725Nm of torque. This is also one of very few EVs where you can fold the roof down completely.

8. Porsche 911 Cabriolet

Pros Cons

Performance
High quality cabin
Driving engagement

Turbocharged engines could sound more emotional
Expensive to buy
Lost its compact footprint

Prices from £110,000
Best driving experience
