I feel like a lot of this video is just an argument against bad convertibles. The Miata was designed as a convertible only so it doesn't have the rigidity issues, wind blockers prevent the wind noise, and good aero design--even just a spoiler--helps the inefficiencies. And who keeps stuff they don't want stolen in their car? Convertible or not, cars are not secure places to store things.

Overlooked fact: convertibles/soft tops handle better on winding roads and in autocross because you have less weight high up, lowering the center of gravity letting you corner and brake with less weight transfer. Because you have less weight transfer, rolling over during a hard corner (or even offroading in an open air 4x4) is less likely. Being open air definitely has some advantages depending on what you want to use the car for.

As a European, I’m often a little surprised why some companies decide to produce gasoline trucks and suv-s. I’ve had chance to try two Toyota Land Cruisers. One was 4.2 gasoline and another o e was 3.0 tdi. The torque and efficiency of the diesel engine totally killed the meaning of gasoline engine in heavy vehicles. Diesel can tow and do stuff on rather low RPMs. But gasoline one was nice too in its own way. It was slightly more quiet but it took so much fuel and had not all that much power.

@kevinfox5003 жыл бұрын
Ain't that the truth. The worst is when someone busts out a window, or cuts open the top, to steal something cheaper than what they destroyed to get to it. Someone once busted the drivers side window of my wife's 68 fastback, to steal a $40 radar detector, and we had basic liability on it at the time. And the door and wing window, were both unlocked. $150 repair and clean up, plus having to order and ship the glass, over a cheap fuzz buster, and $6 in change from the ashtray. Someone cut through the soft half cab of my 73 Bronco once, to unlock the passenger side door, just to rummage through it, to see what they could find. Wasn't anything worth finding in it, out of habit, AND the drivers side was unlocked, when I parked it. I never locked that door, because the key didn't match, and I didn't have a key for that door. Went with a removable hard top after that, and got a new lock set.

@@erict5154 Unless they are professionals. Pros don't need to break windows, or damage the ignition to take the car. I spent several years as an insurance investigator, and one of the things I always did, about a year after new systems came out, was visit with people convicted of auto theft, and let them talk about how they plied their trade, and would ask how to work around some if the new systems. Some interesting innovations come out, to counter what the manufacturers do to lessen the odds of your car being taken. Same with motorcycles, and home security. Smash and take, armature hour.

@@daydayg007 Could have been worse. After I finished restoring my 73 F250, back in 94, I came out of class one night, and it was gone. Figured dad might have taken it, and walked the lot to look for his Mustang. Same with mom's Caravan. No dice. Called their place, both were at home, as were their cars. They used to borrow my truck sometimes, so I figured that may have been the case. Called LE, filed the report, and got a ride back to my place. Took the Crown Victoria to and from, the rest of the semester, or the 750. About a month after graduation, I got a suspension notice over close to 40 unpaid parking tickets, on a 73 Ford, plate #4747AK. My stolen truck. Called the PD, and city hall, and was able to find out where. Granted my copy of the report, my spare keys, and called a friend to drive me there, and waited. Truck showed up an hour later, and I walked over, got in, and took it back. "Owner" called the cops, as I drove to city hall, stopped out front, and walked in. He pulled in behind me, came in, showing a registration minus name. I had the title. Someone sold him the truck, using the registration, when the title was needed in my state. He gave up his keys, on the spot. Here's the funny part. The cop who wrote the tickets was the same one who took the report. And yes, he got an ass chewing from me, and the chief, over that fact. Once that was resolved, the city shifted the tickets to the driver, at the time, who had a record, and just kept the signed registration, as proof of ownership, but never went to DMV, and the suspension order was rescinded. It was an interesting few months.

I love donot media but I don’t agree on convertibles suck. Actually they are amazing. I don’t race or go to track everyday in my life. So small drawbacks doesnt matter much but the positives and all the experience you have on a cabrio is much more valuable. Listening and seeing the places you visit listening your engine and egzaust note feeling the wind etc... And yea you dont need to open top in the middle of the day when the sun at top burning you. Convertibles for best for sunrise or summer evenings and nights. For me this video is just misleading information about convertibles.
@TheJamonLance3 жыл бұрын
forget about that. I have a nd miata. Despite the small trunk, and the inconvenience of getting in and out, is much more comfy and practical than a bike. handling is supreme, performance are good for daily use, and the pure joy of driving night or day, blowing with the wind at sunlight or with the stars. plus it looks good. is not about putting years on life, but life on the years.

I know these cars aren’t as practical but honestly... practicality isn’t my thing to begin with. No kids but only girls and their messy flying hair. I love it. I recommend convertible to everyone who’s living in safe towns and just want to feel more engaged with the world around them while driving. Benefits: You can smile and give a friendly wave when you want to change the lane in traffic. People are very friendly when smile with eye contact is established. Actually there are many great benefits of driving convertible. It’s super nice to light up a joint while top down. I really like convertibles

I have an 88 RX7 turbo-swapped convertible, as well as a Jeep LJ with the dual top option. I pretty much just keep the hardtop. I've never had a top slashed, but it's because I leave the doors unlocked and/or keep the window down a bit. It's just normal to keep everything in a bag and not leave items worth anything in the vehicle; not even my insurance card! Pretty much everything in this video seems true to me, even though I love having the tops down in my vehicles.
