5 Best Convertibles for the Money

Best Convertibles for the Money
2022 Audi TT
A drop top car with jaw dropping looks. With its assertive lines and powerful performance, the Audi TT Roadster is a head turner.
Reach for the sky.Acoustic, power retractable convertible top can be opened and closed in as little as 10 seconds while driving at speeds up to 31 mph.
One of Audi's most iconic models, the 2022 Audi TT is no longer the sportiest two door coupe convertible combination out there, but you could make the case that it is the best looking. The taut proportions and sleek roofline give it a posture that's both charming and aggressive. The TT is available as either a four-seat coupe or a two seat convertible.
Thanks to its standard all wheel drive, the TT exudes confidence and poise on all manner of roads. Acceleration is brisk, but should you want a bit (or a lot) more power, Audi does offer the TTS and TT RS, which we review separately. Another positive note for the TT is its generous amount of standard equipment. While other coupes charge extra for things like real leather upholstery, a decent audio system and even a wireless phone charger, Audi rolls them in from the get go.
2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Luxe interior makes the C 300 feel more expensive than it is
Voice control system so good, you may not need to actually use the touchscreen often
Ride is quite comfortable
The C-Class was historically Mercedes Benz's entry level model until the more affordable CLA debuted in 2014. Since then, the C Class has assumed the role of a legitimate luxury vehicle, bringing the features and styling cues of the large S Class sedan to a more palatable price point. The C Class is fully redesigned for 2022, offering elegant new styling, cutting edge technology, and elevated levels of comfort and refinement.
The 2022 C-Class is influenced by its newest sedan siblings, inside and out. With a trapezoidal grille and LED headlights wrapping around the front corners, the front end strongly resembles that of the A Class and the CLA. The previous generation's sharply creased side body panels have given way to a smoother, sculpted look that is reminiscent of the new S Class.
With all of the potential surrounding the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, we wouldn't be surprised if it took the top spot among other small luxury sedans. Current top tier rivals include the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Genesis G70 and Volvo S60.
2022 Audi A5
Understated and classy interior
Strong overall performance
Plenty of standard and optional tech features
Style mavens will find the 2022 Audi A5 coupe and Cabriolet convertible models more eye-catching than the A4 sedan while pragmatists will be happy to know they require few compromises to practicality. Both A5 body styles are sophisticated, upscale, and athletic, making them a great choice for luxury buyers who also enjoy driving. The coupe and convertible are both powered by a gutsy 261 hp turbocharged four cylinder paired with standard all-wheel drive. Those looking for more oomph should consider upgrading to the Audi S5 or perhaps the BMW 440i, but most drivers will find the 2022 A5's powertrain to be plenty potent for even spirited driving.
2022 BMW Z4
Classic roadster experience with modern conveniences
Larger-than-expected cargo space
Quiet interior with the top up or down
Roomy cabin
2022 BMW 4 Series
BMW’s new soft-top. And that’s the story here: a cloth roof. The last two generations of this car (one the last to be badged ‘3 Series’, the other the first to carry a 4 Series badge) deployed three-piece folding metal roof mechanisms, sacrificing weight, packaging and some style in the name of better aerodynamics, refinement, and security.
For the new 4 Series Convertible, BMW has had a change of heart, and returned to the classic fabric roof, though it’s a lot cleverer than they used to be. Capable of retracting in 18 seconds at speeds of up to 31mph, there’s no excuse not to be making the most of all three and a half days of British summertime.

😃The tittle of the video should have been, "Five best GERMAN convertibles for the money"! The current Mazda MX5 ND 184hp, is the best for the money, most reliable, most sold convertible!

[@dzynguy]

you mean 4 best, or did you forget to add the mx5?

[@rjindian2995]

Mazda mx5/Miata is also a great bang for the buck

[@robluck21]

Beautiful cars, but none American or affordable, super expensive to maintain and keep. Known to be very unreliable. Miata and mustang would be nice on this list.

[@ladym6738]

Money, what money? Just a ballpark figure would have been nice.

[@ag4allgood]

The best overall roadster is not even mentioned in this video - Mazda Mx-5. When it comes to pure driving / reliability & cost to own the MX-5 outshines every convertible in the video ! Also ranks very high in Owner Satisfaction - which is the question " Would you Buy it again " ?

Add the mx5 best car for half the price

[@franciscoortiz6980]

Ohh... and I test drove every convertible I could find. I ended up with Fiat 500 convertible... 3 yr used car was under $15k...incredibly comfortable and fun to drive. (Miata was second choice... but NO longer a comfortable car... it is so small and tight... becomes uncomfortable for trips longer than hour).

[@dedan2]

You showed the Z4 M40i and spoke about a 4 cyl Z4. The 6 cyl m40i is amazing.

[@supastah68]

I love the E63 convertible but it’s def not affordable

[@clu4u]

Sorry, but omission of the Porsche Boxster is insufferable. 18 years of ownership then a 981 Spyder says you have yer head up where the sun DON’T shine.

[@felinefriend6101]

Its title says “for the money”. Porsche is milking its popularity with dealers enjoying the biggest profit margins in the industry given a 2 year wait on boxsters otherwise it is the benchmark

[@clu4u]

@@felinefriend6101Merc C class is in the same price point, no? Most buy used and I did too. My 05 Boxster was worth $20k and my 981 Spyder $89k. Get my ‘drift’, lol?

They are ugly tho,...like really ugly

[@dedan2]

The M240i should have also been on this. You missed the catch

[@garymcaleer6112]

TT "good looking?" Looks like a bug that took its cues from VW's Beetle. No profile of the C-class. Must not be pleasant to view. Just so you know, it doesn't cost any more to make a beautiful car than an ugly one.

[@franciscoortiz6980]

HA HA HA HA LOL... bunch of bull... it is just a german convertible commercial. all of these are overpriced unreliable P. O. C.
