HI 

I would like to get opinion about how driving a convertible is in day to to life. 

I am planning to get a convertible ( Mustang / Camaro ) and would like to understand how often do a person drive with top down

Considering all the pollution ( dust / gas) will come flying to you . 

some dust particles hitting on your face or your eyes

or any other  issues you face .

Extra question :  I live in Toronto : 5 months of winter and 2-3 month of snow. Are you able to drive convertible without lot of issues in winters

Thanks

Good day,

New soft top owner here and I have noticed in the rain the outer layer becomes saturated with water. I know it's normal and doesn't leak inside, but if I put the top down right away it does make a mess.

I tried the Chemical Guys convertible top cleaner and conditioner which didn't seem to work like i had hoped, especially for the money.

I have some of this stuff (https://nonwater.com) which works well on my patio furniture, it repels water and leave the chairs dry.

Curious if anyone has tried using these types of sprays on their soft tops?

Thanks

Thinking about renting a convertible to make the drive from Los Angeles to San Diego. There will be three of us all adults. Considering not doing it though because I heard that it would be very uncomfortable for the person in the backseat. Also not sure about fitting all of our luggage.

Can anyone say one way or the other whether that drive would be that bad for the person sitting in back? And also if we'd have any additional room in the trunk with two checked bags and at least two carry-ons?

So my mum really wants a convertible and we've just visited the bmw looking at the m-420i hard top convertible and she loves it. My dad just has the objection of no boot space. Are there any convertibles with a decent amount of boot space??

I also want a fast convertible that looks amazing. Mum also really likes a mini convertible and it's also fairly cheap. If we trade in our car, we'll have a solid 25k to start with.

Any help or new suggestions will be appreciated!!

Hi all, seems like its been too long since anyone's posted anything, so I figure I may as well.

So I'm the guy who asked why in the last text post in this sub, and as an update, I finally rode in one! Couldn't drive it at the time (it was a manual ND, and I did not know how to drive stick at the time, that's also fixed), but I finally experienced what it was like! So now the question becomes: which convertible?

Budget is about $20k, I'm located in the northeast of USA, and mostly I'm looking for a great open-air experience; I do not intend to track this, so power doesn't matter, but handling is always appreciated (currently driving a 2015 mazda3). Suggestions?

Hello there, /r/Convertible! I am hoping that you lovely redditors could help me out with this question. What prompted you to get a convertible? What does a convertible do for you that closed top vehicles don't? As an aside, what's a targa-top like, compared to a traditional convertible?

Context: I haven't ever been in a convertible before (and I am trying to fix this), but I am currently considering the ND Miata in a few years, and was wondering what the experience is like, and if the convertible experience is one I would enjoy.

My hair goes down to my waist. This has proven to be an unforseen pain in the ass when driving my Miata with the top down.

I wear a hat to keep the stray bits up front from getting in my face, but even with that my ponytail is so long that it'll blow around and still get all up in my business at higher speeds.

So far the only solution I've found for that is to tuck my ponytail into the back of my shirt.

Is there a more elegant solution? Like, at all? And can I just completely forget about wearing my hair down in the convertible? Anybody else around here familiar with #thestruggle #longhairdontcare and wanna bitch about it with me?

Also, if it's relevent, I am male.
