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.

@c4onmylip 3 жыл бұрын

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.

I would love to upgrade this car’s engine to MB or VW’s 2.0 turbo diesel. Would be a huge upgrade In Terms of car’s power and the amount of money spent at the pump. 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.

I like pretty much every video you've made, including this one. 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP, tuned. Yea, it takes more to care for it but I'm a car guy so I'm gonna take care of it. Yea, impractical, but I did a 2 person week long road trip, and it was lots of fun, and there was enough room for our stuff in the trunk with the top up. When we stopped at places for a couple days we unloaded our stuff and rode around the town top down. Best of both worlds. There's a trade-off when buying any vehicle. If it's worth it, you make the purchase. BTW, nice disclaimer at the end. Car guy to the end!

The AC / Shelby Cobra is the reason why the 70mph motorway speed limit was introduced in the UK in the late 60's. A car magazine or two tested one , regularly hitting 170mph, it was widely reported in the news and there was uproar in the government & various safety organisations.

I have been a 'ragtop guy' my entire life and every point he made about the pitfalls of ownership is spot on. At only one time was a convertible my 'Daily.' A Chrysler Town and Country that actually ran well, looked like crap and drove really nice. I did have a t-top car and that is a nice concession should you find the right one. Ragtops are a romance, squeeky moldering parade floats for a Sunday drive with the Grandkids, now. What car does my Granddaughter want to borrow all the time? Grandma's old Allanté of course! We had the bolts done 12 years ago, runs like a tank. My Grandson loves it when I pick him up at school in my Giant RED '72 Buick Regal, top down and the radio playing. All those little brats with their noses pressed to the windows of the mini vans as we pull away with the sun in our faces and bugs in our teeth...

The sound is actually the best reason to drive a convertible. You experience your drive a completely different way when you can hear your surroundings, whether its birds and animals out in the country or the bustle of the big city. Also the hidden secret for convertibles: the back seat is actually great for hauling bulky objects with the top down. Just brought a good-sized dresser home; lifted it into the back seat where it rode just fine. Absolutely could not have fit into the door or trunk openings of a coupe, sedan, or even, most likely, a wagon.
