5 CHEAP CONVERTIBLE Cars For SUMMER FUN! (INSANE PERFORMANCE)

[@haider1032]

Watching videos like this 🤝 Not having a license

[@tom2581]

Idk why we do it

[@haider1032]

@@tom2581 future planning 🤷‍♂️😂

[@pslizzy8907]

Yes

[@obione5532]

Or the money

[@zsb707]

All you need is an MX-5. JB's points are spot on. "It's all about how it handles and how it makes you feel" 👍. I've been driving a galaxy grey NC for 10 years and counting. Fun factor is through the roof.

[@MrChimpeh]

Best car I’ve driven is my NC, they don’t make cars like them anymore

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

Yup, agree my wife has an ND and I’ve got a Mk2 MR2. The old saying it’s way more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow is so true.

[@reality-cheque]

Thanks for the video - for a £10k budget, I'd go for a Jaguar XK 4.2 DHC (X150) - all aluminium, Ian Callum's beautiful design, with luxury, reliability and performance - future classic.

[@wadeslea]

MX5 is easily the best - most reliable, cheapest to service, cheapest to fuel, cheapest to insure, and most importantly, most fun to drive.

[@rahulcharlie_1]

I beg to differ. S2000 over a Miata and that’s not even a question. The Ap2 has the best manual ever made in a sports car and that’s proven

[@JayR_9]

Yes JB, could u do a updated video on how to get lower insurance. With the price rises now in insurance my quotes have been so much higher for the same car

[@howardjennings1166]

987 boxster the one you want. Pref 2007 onwards. Incredibly reliable and SO much fun to drive. I have a 2008 with a private plate and people think I'm rich af.

[@p____p4tel]

100% a non S one is more than sufficient and wont set people back too much £ to purchase and insure.

[@jasongiffard6718]

Picking up a 435d xdrive msport convertible today.

[@Fresskrot]

Another brilliant video thank you! Me and the missis are looking for a budget convertible for our french Riviera roadtrip, the NC Miata is our favourite but not the best for a roadtrip

[@motionlessproductions2478]

I have bought my first car this month and it's a 2002 Peugeot 206CC with the 2.0 16V engine making 135 HP. I know it's way below the price ranges of the cars mentioned in this video and is more of an economy car rather than a sports car. but it handles and feels absolutely amazing. And with it having a hard top it maintains a bit of the rigidity that it would've lost. I can't wait to modify it, get it a bit lower and get a bit more power out of it. I'm so glad I followed my stubborn gut and kept going for a convertible cuz driving with the top down feels absolutely amazing. Thank for the video mate

[@kelvinogden4073]

What about clk 55 or the s4 convertible. Cheap and reliable

[@ms-jw3oy]

Gotta love a dsg tts convertible, roof down, dsg shifting farts. A lot of fun!

[@booter654]

Love the mx5 there's a 25 anniversary edition which is my fave

[@richardsmith9509]

I bought a BMW 645Ci conv- SMG and it was well under L10,000...I am in Canada and this is the best car I have ever owned....

[@szymonzalewski5521]

I love Volvo C70. With T5 engine you can build a small sleeper.

[@jivalroopnarian]

I don't have a favourite convertible I can think of but I do love them

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Favourite convertible might actually be the MX-5. The LC convertible is pretty tasty too though, as is the R8 Spyder and a few of the Merc SL range over the years.

[@andrewcarter7503]

WHAAAAAAAAAAT? No Saab 9-3 convertible? 🙂 I'm on my 4th and have never had any serious mechanical or electronic problems. 2 litre turbo, 4 seats, looks great, affordable. What's not to like? I'll forgive you though as another great video 👍 Always informative and watchable. The 'reliability' notes are great.

[@timothyfalkowski6007]

i love my merc SLK 230 kompressor with the retracting steel hardtop. cost $3500 in 2012 and has instant power to pass and handles great.

[@jasonsweb1]

what about the VW Eos? I love mine and its rapid

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

The tt needs to look a bit more aggressive imo. When new it almost would’ve been too sleeper looking despite the quad pipes and badge

[@DA-pn4rz]

Did you say 190 SL was your favourite? Merc from the '50s?

[@terrymontague7946]

I've got a Volvo C70 T5 and for comfort and with four usable seats it is hard to beat. However, like all metal top convertibles, it is bloody heavy so don't expect Ford Focus ST levels of performance as you will be very disappointed. It is a great cruiser and with the roof down the sound from that 5 cylinder engine will make you smile every time you put your foot down. Not many around now and most of them are high milers but well worth considering if you can find a good one.

[@simondean8710]

Great video, although a bit subjective, but then it’s your channel and view so that inevitable I guess - could easily have been 10 cars as what about an Alfa Spider (Brera era) with its stunning styling of or you included a 4 seat Beemer why not an A5 and as you had a 2 seat Audi TT then why no Z4? Then there’s the SLK/CLK plus Golf’s etc so potentially a list of 10 or perhaps 2 videos of 5 with 2 and then 4 seats?

[@pw8764]

Favourite convertible - BMW E30 of course!

[@michaelloach9461]

Another great vid JB. I thought about the 350Z but then looked at the £600 per Year Tax! I also looked at the BMW but most of them don't come with 'optional extras' pack (indicators!). The IMS replacement cost put me off the Boxster but you never know, I might just get one as a 'fun car'. The Audi is a Yes. If you look hard, you may be able to buy an Audi S5 convertible for less than £10k. They are easy too take care of, have very little issues & only cost £360 per Year tax. If you are going on a longish journey on the Motorway & stick to the speed limit (unlikely because they encourage you), you should get about 34 MPG. They have 4 seats & decent boot space. I use mine every day for shopping & the occasional 'skip run'. All the best......

[@jodep2198]

I'd like to have seen the C70 make the list (thoughts), maybe you could do a near miss video, good 1 JB.

[@thadynakat]

The E9X cars looks so good...

[@SlawcioD]

0:13 me: driving f33 top down in December in -2 degree C

[@bwdrives]

Selling my 125i Convertible once I bring it back from a road trip to Scotland Been an amazing car over 2 years but got a Boxster now which makes it feel boring to drive in comparison 😂

[@aziizmusa4994]

I really ❤ this

[@benwestlake5842]

I would personally get a brabus smart roadster

[@satoshiblack1046]

Give me a fully loaded MX5 wigh all the bells & whistles & ill give it straight back lol perfect for Essex boy hair dressers with blonde & yellow highlights 😂😂

[@maxm04a]

surprised not to see the Z4 on this list

[@origami_vibez]

The Toyota solara would be a good option too

[@paulneenan2103]

Perhaps over budget these days for a 3.0 but the Z4 should be here.

[@itsomarz9337]

No audi A5? Mercedes clk ? Lexus sc430? Vw eos? Bmw 645 ?

[@alansmith4395]

ND miata. The end. Nothing else comes close for the coin.

[@johnhaworth4795]

You heard " I'm glad I didn't get an E92/93 from a reliability perspective" Nothing ruins a great driving experience like the car spending many hours in the garage and no BMW is cheap compared to most rivals. Its not a dynamic driving experience on a ramp! Mx5 wins by (s)miles

[@iainstewart6200]

In this video you said that you've driven loads of nice/fast cars so why don't you post videos of them. I know you're not a reviewer but it would break the monotony of you just reading lists of cars (enjoyable though that is) Break out your MX5 and video yourself taking it for a thrash for example, gotta be better than list after list. Please understand I'm not hating on you mate just saying.

[@Smashmouth-lx4vv]

No way I'm having a MX5 over a BMW Z4

[@l.mpatamali8738]

😂 who has more than 1 friend? 😂

[@WithCars9]

Yaaaay another Subaru...oh wait, nevermind...😅😅

[@rhysholley8289]

These videos are so repetitive . Adios 👋
