WITH summer getting into full swing you might be dreaming of rolling down a soft-top and feeling the wind in your hair but you think it's a pipedream - or maybe it's not.
While convertibles are seen as a luxury they can still be affordable - here are the best affordable convertibles on the market.
BMW 6 Series Convertible
9
The so-called 'cool' BMW, has a snazzy exterior look while being a practical car with room for four inside.
The BMW Series 6 can be picked up at a reasonable £5000 second hand which is far more obtainable than when it was first released.
The car is a fantastic long-range car due to its comfortable interior but it is a complex car that will also come with higher fuel and maintenance costs.
Mini Convertible
9
One of the most instantly recognisable cars in the world, the Mini is a smash-hit with thousands of people.
Its slick and colourful exterior is matched by its welcoming interior which has a lot of room for a compact car.
The convertible can be picked up for as little as £2000 while more expensive models are available that have an engine that packs a little more punch.
Mazda MX-5
9
The Mazda MX-5 is one of the most sought after convertibles on the market.
Available from £2000, the MX-5 is loved by many for the driving experience it provides along with rear-wheel drive and an easy to use roof mechanism.
Due to its popularity, there are plenty of MX-5's available including newer models which range between £2000 and £5000.
Audi TT Roadster
9
The Audi TT Roadster was revolutionary when it was first released 25 years ago both for its look and the technology it introduced.
This option comes in around £2000 despite it still looking fantastic in 2025 as well as the luxury materials used in building the interior.
Fiat 500c
Ideal for inner-city driving due to its compact style, the Fiat 500c combines a cute look with practicality.
Priced at around £2300, this car is one of the cheapest on the list to insure and run on a daily basis.
While the roof doesn't pack away completely, it still performs the convertible element adequately.
Volvo C70
9
While Volvo is known for producing SUVs and family cars, they have also produced a convertible that is very affordable.
The C70 can be found for as little as £1700 and is designed by the Swedish manufacturer to be as refined and comfortable as possible.
It must be noted that the C70 is a metal-folding hard-top rather than soft-top and should be evaluated that it operates properly before purchasing.
Porsche Boxter
Arguably the most impressive on the list, simply by the name alone, the Boxter's performance is one of the best on the list.
Unlike newer models which will set you back at least £60,000, a second hand Boxter comes in at £10,000.
Due to it being a high performance car, the maintenance and fuel costs will be higher with this one.
Mercedes SLK
9
The smallest of convertibles that Mercedes offers but it is packed with loads of great features like a clever metal-folding roof.
The SLK at its cheapest can be found for £1500 but this would be for a first-generation model.
For the newer, more modern and comfortable second-generation edition, you would expect to pay £6500 for one in good condition and a reasonable mileage.
Peugeot 207 CC
9
While the 207CC might not win the award for the fastest or highest performance on the list, it would win being one of the most cost-efficient.
Prices range between £1500 and £3000 depending on how used the vehicle is.
It's available with a range of efficient engines and because it's based around the same design as the standard Peugeot 207 hatchback making it cheap and easy to run.
Volkswagen Eos
9
The Eos is basically a VW Golf with the roof cut off.
The folding metal roof also incorporates a sunroof, so you can still get a better view of the sky even when you don't fancy having the roof entirely lowered.
Prices for a good condition Eos start around £3000.
