Whether it's a hardtop or a soft top, as long as a convertible passes you by, people are always willing to stop and look at it a few more times.

When you're bored, it's a great way to go for a spin in a convertible and feel satisfied.

The first advantage of a hardtop convertible is its durability, as the structure of a hardtop convertible is mostly made of metal, which is consistent with the bodywork and does not deteriorate.

Another point is the low noise level at high speeds, the overall performance is quite good and no distortion occurs.

The disadvantage of the hardtop convertible is that it is heavier, which can affect the dynamics of the vehicle, and the fuel consumption is also higher.

Lastly, the non-foldable nature of the metal has a huge impact on the trunk, resulting in a much smaller boot space.

And the opening and closing mechanisms are easily broken, making them more troublesome and expensive to repair.

So the question is, why do so many people love convertibles, but so few buy them?

For those who want to buy a convertible, the environment is a big factor that causes many people not to buy a convertible.

In the winter, the winters are long and cold, the central regions are windy and sandy, and in some areas, it can sometimes be foggy.

even in coastal areas, what's the point of driving a convertible in the summer if it's too hot and sweaty without air conditioning?

If it rains on the road, and the car breaks down, you'll be stuck in the rain.

Another thing is that convertibles have a high failure rate and are expensive to repair, which is why many people are reluctant to buy them.

The practicality of the car is still an important consideration for consumers.

The space in a convertible is small and many convertibles only have two seats, even the four-seater models do not have much space in the back.

If a family wants to go on a trip, the space is bound to be cramped, so for a family car, a convertible is clearly not the best choice.

When the convertible is open, there is almost no more space in the boot and the practicality of the whole car is greatly reduced.

In general, a convertible can only seat two people, so if you need to take some other items with you, you'll have to choose to carry them in two separate loads.

Of course, if you have more than one car at home, this factor can be ignored.

In America, the rise of the convertible car was due to the availability and cheapness of steel and fuel, and cars became larger and larger.

In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a rise in showmanship and pomp and circumstance, and spacious cars became popular.

Another factor that stimulated the development of the open-top car was the growth of motor racing.

By competing in motor racing, car manufacturers learned two things.

The first was that the performance of these cars on the track would more or less be an influencing factor when people were buying cars.

In the public mind, a convertible is a sports car. As motor racing grew in popularity, car manufacturers large and small worked to build their brands in the race, Jaguar being one such example.

While Ferrari was creating luxury super convertibles for those who were wealthy, many ordinary drivers were also becoming increasingly interested in convertibles.
