11 Convertibles For Every Budget To Get You Ready For Summer
It is just about time to start enjoying some warm weather again and a convertible is just the thing to make the most of the sunshine. We have picked 11 of our favorite models on the market today, from affordable little roadsters to some of the fastest and most powerful convertibles on the planet. Some offer comfort and luxury for four while others are capable of blow-drying your hair at 200 mph. The choice is yours.
Mazda MiataThe Miata is a roadster that eschews any superfluous distractions that detracts from the joy of driving. Rear-wheel-drive, a revvy naturally aspirated engine and a featherweight body shell combine to make this $25,295 roadster the perfect weekend companion. You can also have an RF hardtop convertible for $31,910, but whichever you take please stick to the manual transmission versions.
Fiat 124 SpiderThe 124 Spider is heavily based on the Miata but it comes with its own 160-hp turbocharged motor and styling that emulates drop-top Fiats of the past. Prices are similar to the Miata too and if you are more into boulevard cruising than apex chasing then a well-equipped automatic 124 could be the ideal fit.
Chevrolet CamaroThe Camaro is all about aggressive performance and big horsepower. You can scare yourself silly in the 650-hp 6.2-liter supercharged V8 if you like but even the 335-hp 3.6-liter V6 is plenty of fun and you won’t want or need more performance on the streets. At $34,395 it is conspicuously good value and worth the extra $1,500 over the base 2.0-liter turbo engine.
Ford MustangThe Mustang is about as American as motoring gets. In convertible form the experience is even more enjoyable and as with the Corvette, there is a lot of performance to be had for the money. The base 2.3-liter EcoBoost motor is not short on power although you will miss the V8 soundtrack with the top down and that is why the $44,690, 460-hp 5.0-liter Mustang GT Premium Convertible is our choice. Perfect for cruising the beaches and blasting up a mountain pass.
BMW 4-Series ConvertibleIt may not be able to compete on pricing with the Camaro and Mustang but once you get behind the wheel and explore the luxurious interior you will see where the extra money has been spent. The 4-Series is also one of the few hardtop convertibles around and the rear seats are more useable than in the Mustang too. While the 320-hp 6-cylinder 440i is the pick of the bunch, even the base 248-hp 430i has plenty of power on offer if not much aural excitement to go with it. It is however a tad more affordable at $51,650 before options.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class CabrioletThe recently released E-Class convertible is a beautiful grand tourer that sits in the middle of Mercedes’ convertible offerings in both price and performance. The E 400 comes with a twin-turbo 329-hp 3.0-liter V6 which is good for a 5.5 second 0-60 mph time. The pricing starts at $66,300 but that can easily rise if you add some desirable extras like adaptive air suspension and a Burmester audio system.
Jaguar F-Type ConvertibleBritish sports cars have long been full of charm and character and with the F-Type they also deliver on the performance front. The 296-hp 2.0-liter turbo motor is strong, if not a tad characterless, but there are plenty more to choose from. For example, a V6 that delivers up to 400-hp depending on the trim and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that makes 575-hp in the top SVR. $63,000 is your starting point for the four-potter but don’t expect much change back from $100,000 if you go for a V6 model with some nice extras.
Porsche 911 Carrera CabrioletThe 911 range has been the benchmark sports car for decades, its combination of everyday usability and stonking performance has never been better in the latest iteration. Even the base Carrera Convertible is a formidable offering, in PDK trim it blasts to 60 mph in 4.2-seconds yet still returns an average 25 mpg. All this ability does come at a price though, $94,310 to be precise. Budget another £10,000 for some options as it gets pricey pretty quickly.
Ferrari 488 Spider661-hp from a 3.9-liter V8 is impressive, so is a 210 mph+ top speed and let’s not forget a price-tag that starts at $255,000 before options. Yes, the Ferrari 488 Spider is all about big numbers but it is also docile enough to trundle around at more sedate speeds when called upon.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ConvertibleWhen it comes to the old bang-for-your-buck equation, the Corvette has the competition beat before even turning a wheel. The Z06 comes packed with a 650-hp supercharged V8 which launches it to 60 mph in under 3-seconds. All this for $85,585 in convertible form, it also comes packed with kit and sounds as ferocious as you would expect. Can it get any better? Why yes it can…
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 ConvertibleThe ZR1 is what happens when you take a Z06 and feed it pure adrenaline. It pushes the power levels up to 755 hp and has numerous aero and chassis upgrades to help it stay stable at its 212 mph top speed. The price is a somewhat heftier $123,995 but still well below anything else that could potentially stick with it on the road or track.
Gone are the days when owning a convertible meant you had to accept a noisy and leaky cabin as part of the package. From the $25,000 Miata to the $250,000 488 Spider, the modern convertible is as practical as its hardtop counterpart (if it has one) and at the press of a button you get to enjoy open-topped motoring.

2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo Test Drive Review: Budget 7-Series, Just Don't Look Back
If you listen to the motivational speakers who use his plight to bolster their stories, Thomas Edison is famous for two things: being one of the world’s greatest inventors and failing thousands of times along the way to each of his inventions. Anyone who’s put skin into the game of life knows that getting ahead means trying new things and many times, failing at them. The auto industry is no exception.
Ford took a risk when it built the first Mustang and shook up the world of performance, but that came after the Blue Oval had landed hard on its face when it tried and failed to turn Edsel into a household name. Back in 2009, BMW took a similar risk by taking the 5-Series wagon, called the Touring, off the American market and replacing it with the 5-Series Gran Turismo. The results were not ideal.
By 2011, it was reported that 5-Series Touring buyers, whom BMW had expected would switch into Gran Turismos when it came time to upgrade, had instead migrated to the competition. Rather than be left on dealership lots where style critics could rip into the design team that let such an ugly rear end leave the drawing board, the GT was bought by ex 7-Series owners who ended up forking over less cash to BMW than if they had just replaced their range-topping Bimmers with a newer 7.
Evidently, that wasn’t enough to get BMW to pull the plug on the Gran Turismo because now the GT is back. We’ve dug into BMW for the Gran Turismo before—partially because the GT line doesn’t offer the caliber of styling we’ve come to expect from BMW, and partially because it’s not the wagon we so badly want—but in either case BMW sent us a Bluestone Metallic 2018 640i xDrive Gran Turismo so we could settle the score.
Exterior Design: Is It Prettier?Having been caught up in BMW’s naming shuffle, the 5-Series GT now runs under the 6-Series line where it’s sold as the Gran Coupe’s not-so-handsome counterpart. Until now, the 6-Series has been more geared towards luxury and status than utility, so BMW had to smoothen out some of the Gran Turismo’s rough edges to justify the “640i” badges. It started in the area that needed the most help, the trunk lid/hatch on which those GT badges reside.
With a license to fill a 6-Series’ shoes, the 640i GT grows longer by 3.4-inches while maintaining its width and even shrinking by 0.8-inches on the horizontal plane for a sportier aesthetic. That extra length gives designers room to end the trunk more gradually and avoid making it look like the 5-Series GT's brick-shaped back. Alas, even with a prettier rear end than the last GT, it’s not executed well enough to justify axing the Touring. Thankfully the front end is another matter.
It looks sharp, adopting the look of the 7-Series and making big promises the midsection just barely fails to make good on due to an awkward roofline and still-too-abrupt drop off at the rear. It's not that the roof or the rear themselves are poorly shaped, it's that they looks better suited on one of BMW's X SUVs than on a sedan. Squint properly and you can see that BMW approached the Gran Turismo line with crossover-induced moneybags in their eyes.
The sales pitch probably went something like this: "If the Touring isn't a volume seller and crossovers are, why not merge a sedan with a crossover?" Fortunately, the designers did realize their mistake and tried to remedy it by reducing visual weight at the rear. Smoothening out the lines, aiming the swoop of the rear hatch downwards, and giving the rear-facing portion of the hatch a crease, all help make the 640i GT more palatable on the eyes. Problem is, the 5-Series Gran Turismo had so much visual weight at the rear that the changes made to the 6-Series' aren't enough.
Engine, Performance, And MPG: Beauty Is Only Skin DeepMuch more fun to think about is the 640i xDrive’s powertrain, which consists of a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that sends 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque to an all-wheel drive system that’s capable of launching the Gran Turismo to 60 mph from standstill in 5.1 seconds. With an eight-speed automatic manipulating torque and an Eco Mode to go with Adaptive, Sport, Comfort, and Comfort + (only on models with adaptive dampers), the Gran Turismo drinks fuel at a rate of 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. We saw no such numbers during our weeklong fling with the Gran Turismo in San Francisco’s stop-and-go traffic.
Thanks to BMW’s smooth inline-6 engines that never seem to get upset whether high or low in the rev range, the 640i Gran Turismo has a natural inclination to stretch its legs and get up to highway speeds. That tendency makes it feel out of place in a city with stop signs a hundred feet from the one we’d just left.
It’s almost as if the engine is out to show how smooth and quiet the ride is at speed. In fact, if the Gran Turismo’s unusual dimensions are an indication of anything, it’s that its driver prioritizes comfort over style. In that arena, the Gran Turismo excels.
Soft Cognac Dakota Leather cloaks much of the cabin and meshes with fake wood and aluminum accents, the sheer amount of it giving off the sense of excess. It’s not necessarily the abundance of leather or the fact its shade of color is converted into Anthracite and used as headliner that does the trick. It’s that the 640i GT feels as relaxed and comfortable as a 7-Series, except that it also feels nearly as capable as an X SUV thanks to ample cargo space and a trick air suspension that lifts the body enough to allow it to climb steep slippery hills.
Interior Design And Features: Like A 7 Series InsideFrom the driver’s seat, the competent but complex infotainment system can be interacted with using the 10.25-inch touchscreen or with the iDrive roundel, but a driver’s eyes will usually check out the 12.3-inch digital display cluster along with the HUD display for information. These toys work just fine. The ones that could use some refinement are the wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity that sometimes will choose not to connect or randomly disconnect—though we can’t complain much since BMW is one of the only manufacturers that does wireless smartphone integration—and Gesture Control, which doesn't adjust volume as precisely as using the knob.
Interior Dimensions: Does The Space Make Up For The Look?One thing to note about the old 5-Series GT is that it actually sold well in China, and hints of BMW catering to that market can be seen in the fact that the 640i GT’s focus is on comfort and technology rather than Sheer Driving Pleasure. Rear seat legroom, coming in at 40.4-inches, let our test Bimmer double as a WiFi-equipped office during a coffee break/laundromat visit.
While out to see if the 31 cubic feet of cargo space (65 cu-ft with the rear seats folded down) could handle a long overdue laundry day (it can), we could note how Chinese market demands brought in a light touch to the steering wheel and such a supple ride in Comfort + that freshly folded laundry made it back to base without a hint of getting ruffled over pothole-infested roads.
Sheer Driving Pleasure?After nearly a week of driving the 640i in the city and avoiding eye contact with judgy personalities who spent less on their prettier Maseratis, a weekend shakedown on a good road was needed to see if the Gran Turismo upholds BMW’s clout as the brand for drivers. Like just about everything coming from BMW these days, the 640i GT’s chassis is rock solid, transmitting pertinent information through the thickly padded seats while filtering out unnecessarily jarring parts of the ride.
Thick layers of acoustic insulation prevent the 640i GT from letting the heart rate rise too far beyond the norm and though the balanced chassis and xDrive help keep cornering sharp, the Gran Turismo never feels comfortable when it’s playing the slalom game. Blame the light steering (which is still too light in Sport Mode) and the 4,400-pound curb-weight for that, the latter of which starts to come out of the woodwork in the form of tire squeal and long-held breaths when slamming the brakes at speed to see how fast they can stop a party that’s gotten out of hand.
Price And Trims: Priced To Poach 7-Series DriversThe 640i offers a way out of this unease, though, and it involves slowing down and driving like a mild-mannered person, the type of person the Gran Turismo is designed for. Evidence that BMW targeted this demographic can be found in the pricing.
Despite our loaded tester coming in at $84,010, the 640i xDrive Gran Turismo starts at $71,295, $635 less than a base 7-Series. That’s a bargain considering that it feels as large, in charge, and luxurious as a 7 and offers a huge upgrade in the utility department. No wonder old 7-Series buyers decided to trade.
Getting our tester up to its price involves adding the $4,100 Dynamic Handling Package, which comes with active steering, active air suspension, roll stabilization, and variable dampers, the $2,150 Executive Package that adds a parking assistant, head-up display, gesture control, and soft-close automatic doors among other toys, the $1,700 Driving Assistant Plus suite, and the $1,200 M Sport package that gave our wagon imitator fancy 19-inch M wheels, a SensaTec dash, an aerodynamic kit that includes an auto rear spoiler, and a few extra appearance goodies thrown about the body and cabin for good measure.
Despite being armed to the teeth with an impressive array of luxury features and go-fast appearance packages, there was a defining moment of humiliation that summed up our experience with the 6-Series Gran Turismo. It happened when a Mercedes E-Class Estate pulled up next to us at the light. Despite looking ahead and pretending we didn’t see it, we could feel its driver staring at us with sympathy, thinking, “oh those poor souls.”
With the two cars side by side, BMW's decision to trade out the Touring for the Gran Touring seems like a mistake. The Gran Touring line may eventually find its stylistic groove—BMW’s first X SUVs weren’t exactly pretty at first but seem to have come a long way—but how many more attempts will we see until that happens? Previously, it was only Edison and his peers that knew the struggle of trying again after multiple failures. Now it looks like BMW will join those ranks.
