MORE: Convertibles Are As Safe (But More Fun)

A convertible is a life stage vehicle. It’s a car for you and also your spouse or significant other to enjoy on the weekend or perhaps on a casual mid-week day. But at the same time a convertible should provide the appropriate daily transportation you need. Some recent industry data on convertibles says that more folks are giving convertibles consideration.

Sixty-eight percent of consumers feel that soft-top convertibles, compared to folding hardtops, are the best open-air option. Between 2009 and 2014 there has been a ten percent increase in the number of convertible models offering soft-tops and a 28 percent increase in the number of soft-top convertibles built. It is forecasted that between 2014 and 2016 there will be another 10 percent in the number of soft-top convertible options and a 47 percent increase in the number of soft-top convertibles produced.
