没有什么比在温暖的夏日驾驶敞篷汽车的感觉，头发的风。
Even the most mundane of cars feels special if it is a convertible in these conditions (I should know, I once had a convertible Mini as a hire care when on holiday in the Cook Islands).
But what is the best used convertible for the money?
In this article I take a look at some of the best convertible options (both two and four seaters) that can give serious thrills for not a lot of coin.
You don’t need to have a bank balance like Elton John to enjoy a convertible; you can have drop-top fun for very reasonable money.

Now, let’s get underway and find you your dream, affordable convertible.
We have selected three options, based on our research and knowledge. Although there are many great convertibles out there for decent money, we think that all three examples have compelling arguments for their purchase and ownership.
目录
马自达MX-5/Miata
如果不将Mighty Miata（或MX-5，取决于您的住所）直接放在顶部，那么质量，负担得起的敞篷车将是完整的。
In some respects, the Miata is the yardstick by which all other convertibles are measured.
Spanning over four generations, Mazda’s Miata is the best selling sports car & convertible of all time – and for good reason.
无论您购买哪种Miata（无论是在生成还是装饰方面），您都将获得有史以来最伟大的车辆之一。
While Miatas may not set the world on fire with performance, you are generally going to find you way into a quality, reliable used convertible that has excellent support, serviceability, parts availability, and a loyal following and community.
您也不需要国王的赎金即可进入Miata；对于低四个数字和计数，可以使用早期模型的体面示例（显然，这会根据年龄，里程，您所在的位置等方面有所不同）。
We have one of the most comprehensive Miata/MX-5 buyer’s guides on the Internet –check it out here for more information on sourcing yourself a good Miata.
If you are after an affordable, fun, used convertible, then you’d be hard pressed to do better than the Miata to be honest. If you’re that way inclined, you can also do a lot of modding with the Miata to draw out extra power, handling prowess and so on.
与更强大的跑车相比，缺点是有限的实用性，可能性的，生锈的潜力，不良的安全性（在早期型号上）和平庸的直线性能。
Unless you have any great opposition to a Miata/MX-5 based on brand preference etc, or you require a more practical convertible, then we strongly recommend you look at this as your first port of call.
MGF & MG TF
如果您追求左场的选择（并且在这是一个选择的市场中），那么您可能需要看一下Rover MGF或后来的MG TF。
尽管MGF和MG TF都在MX5/Miata的阴影下生活并继续生活，但这些英国体育敞篷车可能是一个不错的选择，并且在许多国家/地区都有忠实的追随者。实际上，这些是英国生产期间最畅销的跑车。
Here in New Zealand, you can pick up an MGF in vastly superior condition to an MX-5 of equivalent age for thousands of dollars less. A tempting proposition for sure, especially if your focus is on “smiles per dollar”.
两代人（尽管从技术上讲，这是两个不同的型号）都是两个座位，中型敞篷车，并具有多种装饰选项。直到2000年，MGF才有手动变速箱可用，尽管版本已发行了CVT变速箱，称为“ Steptronic”。
MGF有Hydragas悬架，并以固定骑行质量而闻名 - 只要悬架处于良好的工作状态。但是，MGF也可以在角落周围奔跑，并奖励急切的驾驶员。在直线上，VVC（可变阀正时）模型的速度为0-60次，大约7秒，而非VVC模型仍然足够快，可以提供乐趣。许多所有者报告说，他们最喜欢的是MGF的事实是在需要时舒适的事实，但是当被要求时可以转变为后路。
的MG TF was designed from the ground up to be even more focused on being a driver’s car. Hydragas suspension was replaced with coil springs, sacrificing some ride quality for handling prowess. The MG TF is generally seen to be more challenging to live with day to day, but more rewarding when pressing on.
配备了臭名昭著的罗孚k系列发动机,which were known to get through head gaskets like you and I get through hot dinners, owing to a stressed cooling system, reliability was never considered to be the strong suit of the MGF & MG TF.
但是，研究表明，MGF和TFS通常遭受一组通常可以解决的问题。例如，Head Tasket问题是可以解决的 - 并且很可能已经在您查看的任何示例上修复了。
If you buy a good example, then you are getting in to an exciting and quirky convertible for a good price. MG is a legendary British brand and has true heritage; you’d do a lot worse than to own one of these convertibles, provided you are acquainted with potential issues.
We don’t have a buyer’s guide on either of these cars yet, but are working on putting one together. However, for now we recommend you查看新西兰买家指南的MG俱乐部. It is very detailed and informative.
Saab 9-3
萨博（Saab）也许是最著名的，它以其时间非常安全而闻名（实际上，在乘员保护方面，一些较旧的萨博（Saabs）在现代崩溃测试中仍然相当不错……显然，它们缺乏其他功能，例如避免碰撞等）。
Saab also produced some great convertibles in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
However, earlier Saab convertibles have shot up price-wise in recent years, meaning you need to look at slightly more modern vehicles like the 9-3 to get the best bang for buck.
的Saab 9-3 spanned two distinct generations, from the 90s-late 2000s.
从基本轿车到9-3 Viggen（看起来非常两极分化的车辆），有许多型号生产的型号，一些审稿人声称它是有史以来最糟糕的汽车之一，而另一些审稿人则以赞美的方式进行了赞美……对于那些熟悉这种表达的人来说，真正的“马尔米特”汽车）。
的Saab 9-3 was available in a convertible form across the generations.
As with the regular 9-3s, you could have the convertibles in a variety of specifications, including the desirable Aero spec which was the most powerful and luxurious.
Saab 9-3在处理方面从来都不是驾驶动态的最后一句话 - 即使在9-3 Aero Convertible中，您也不会打算制作任何单圈记录。
However, what you will enjoy for reasonable money is a practical car (by a convertible’s standards) with four usable seats, good safety compared to other cars in the class – the 2nd generation 9-3 being the first car in its class to score 5 stars in the Euro NCAP crash test system – and a nice combination of Scandinavian quirkiness and refinement.
根据您选择的装饰/发动机，您还将有一辆可以像货运火车一样直线拉动的汽车。
不相信我吗？
Here are some 9-3 Aero acceleration videos:
If your idea of a good cheap convertible is being able to cruise the highway in comfort with a few friends, then you’d be hard pressed to find a better option in some respects – if you can live with the quirkiness and potential parts/repair challenges due to Saab having gone out of business some time ago.
On a positive note, there is a strong Saab enthusiast community out there both online and in person, so if you do encounter issues people will be willing and able to help.
Conclusion – What Is The Best Cheap Convertible?
最好的负担得起/廉价的二手敞篷车最终将在某种程度上取决于您的要求和预算。
For example, if you want a convertible with more than two seats, then that rules out something like the MX-5.
You would instead probably want to look at one of the options from BMW/Audi/Mercedes/Saab, which will provide you with a more practical convertible (to the extent that this is possible).
All things being considered, if you don’t mind just having two seats, then an MX-5/Miata is probably the best answer (in fact, according to many “Miata is always the answer” – see why people say that here). You’ll enjoy a time-tested, proven platform with solid reliability and parts availability, and likely avoid too much excessive expenditure which might otherwise spoil your

Ultimately, the right affordable used convertible for your needs will come down to a mix of:
- Your budget
- Your requirements
- Your appetite for risk (a more complex vehicle might provide additional performance, features etc but increase the chance of something breaking and costing a lot to fix)
- Your ability to carry out maintenance yourself; the more you can do yourself to a quality standard, the easier and less expensive it will be to keep your affordable convertible running.
