Cars that should NOT be a soft-top convertible

Johnnytoxic · 22 Jul 2008 at 18:02

Ford Focus
Peugeot 206 cc

Ford Fiesta !!!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/225195/allnew_fiesta_raises_the_roof.html

Fiat 500 cabrio http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/222411/fiat_500_cabrio.html

They just look silly. They are not meant to be convertibles. BMW can pull them off. Can you name any others.

Anything with a diesel engine.

Almost any car at all.

The vast majority of cars look stupid without a roof.

RossG · 22 Jul 2008 at 18:06

Continental GT. Looks awful roof up.

Ok, I'll revise.

Nearly all cars that were originally designed to have a roof look ****ing stupid when it's chopped off.

imo.

escorts, although normally the owners offend more than the looks

Porsche 911, looks totally stupid in convertible guise.

Was going to post something like this. The C3 (plurial?) that can be converted by removing vast quantities of roofing material.

The Focus CC mings. In fact, every CC I've seen mings tbh. AND I have rarely seen one with the topdown - WHAT'S THE POINT OF BUYING IT?????

To name a few I particularly dislike -Astra Coupe, Saab 9-3, Volvo C70 and most BMWs (namely any 3 series after the E30).

Corsa B - Why?

That horrible hearse-shaped Chrysler thing.

E46 convertible looks utterly superb. Its my favorite shape of the E46 by far!

That thing shouldn't exist full stop. They are totally horrific looking cars.

I think main the reason for my dislike is the M3 convertible - why??!? The others look similar, so get tarred with the same brush AFAIC (don't get me wrong, I love the E46 coupe/M3, just not the rag top versions).
