Should I buy a convertible?

Are you eyeing up a convertible and wondering whether or not to make the purchase? Here are our pros and cons so you can high it up before you drive off into the sunset.

We will start with the pros because there are so many to getting a convertible. We have narrowed it down to our top three with the first one being the freedom that it gives you. There is no better feeling than driving and feeling the wind in your hair on a summer’s day with the top down on your convertible.

Convertible cars have also been known to increase visibility, as you are more likely to be able to check your blind spot without any obstructions in the way, that sounds like a win in our book!

Lastly, they are aesthetically pleasing! If you are looking for a show stopper and a car that will turn heads, a convertible is definitely something to consider.

Onto the cons! The security is a common consideration as if you are looking at a soft top, they are easier to break into. Of course, you will have insurance, but it does mean that insurance on a convertible can be more expensive.

Leaks are another worry with convertible owners, even though everything has been done to minimise this, heavy rain or snow can sometimes make its way into the cabin of the car.

On this subject, the interior can age prematurely if exposed to these kinds of things, and if you drive with the top down a lot, sun exposure can alter the look of the interior too!
