Top 5 convertibles for summer 2012
So, the summer is here, the sun is shining and it is time to get outdoors and enjoy it whilst it lasts. It is time to wind the windows down when you are driving down the road or, if you are lucky enough to own a convertible then it is time to get that roof down.
For those of you that don’t own a convertible, but are thinking of getting one you will want to think long and hard about which model to go for. We got our team at
Friday-Ad Motors to take a quick peep and see just how many convertibles are up for sale on the site and the top five were:

BMW 3 Series: 293 cars advertised on Friday-Ad
This is a great convertible for the summer, it looks good and being a BMW, it is a very reliable car that will most certainly serve you well. It is one of the most common convertibles out there for these reasons as well as the fact that it is as good to drive as any 3 Series either with the roof up or down. It has a fantastic engine that can deliver an extremely strong performance, however, the 3 Series’ good economy and low emissions keep the running costs down. Browse

Mazda MX5: 269 cars advertised on Friday-AdThis car is the perfect affordable convertible and it offers you fun and style which are two of the main things that you would want from a roadster. Though the cheapest versions of this model are missing out on some basic kit, it is still a nicely built vehicle that is sturdy, speedy and stylish. Those of you who are after a classier car may look past the Mazda and go for the more expensive BMW, but those of you who are after a cheaper model in which you can truly appreciate the sun we are getting at the moment, then the Mazda MX5 is the one for you.

Saab 9-3: 185 cars advertised on Friday-Ad
Now, as with all Saabs, the 9-3 Convertible has a certain amount of understated elegance. It is a good looking car and is the perfect, cheaper alternative to the BMW 3 Series convertible. Though the Saab is not as desirable as some of its German rivals and is not as nippy and fun as the Mazda, it is still a classy car that is spacious and a very enjoyable drive. When you have the roof up, you may notice wind noise over 50mph, however, it is not too excessive. Browse

Renault Megane: 159 cars advertised on Friday-AdThis is a hit or miss car for some people, but we think that it is stylish and fun. It might not be the most impressive car in the world in terms of how good it is to drive and there is limited space in the back, but the Renault Megane really is a cheap and easy entry into convertible ownership. If you just want to use it to cruise around town, or along the beach with the roof down in the sun then this car is a great choice. Browse

Mercedes SLK: 136 cars advertised on Friday-AdWe thought that we would end on a more expensive convertible. If you are looking to enjoy the sun on a lower budget then the Renault and the Mazda are probably more appropriate choices, however, if you have a little more to spend then the Mercedes SLK is most certainly a good car to choose. This luxury convertible is the best looking of our five convertibles, but it doesn’t drive as well as some of the others and is not as much fun, although it is guaranteed to turn heads in the sun.
