Drop-tops take everyday driving to a new level of enjoyment. Check out the following ten cars to discover some of the best convertibles on the market today.

Porsche Boxster

Nimble, responsive and boasting 265 horsepower, the Porsche Boxster offers plenty of top-down fun, all while earning an impressive 30 mpg highway.

Volvo C70 Inscription

Limited to only 500 models in the U.S., the special-edition Inscription improves upon the already-impressive Volvo C70, boosting the luxury convertible's horsepower to an athletic 250 hp while adding several subtle-yet-appreciated design improvements.

BMW M3 Convertible

Using the already-agile 3 Series convertible as a template, the amped-up M edition comes fitted with a muscular 4.0-liter, 414-horsepower V8 engine that sends the hardtop howling from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds.

Volkswagen Beetle TDI Convertible

As one of few diesel drop-tops available in the States, the Volkswagen Beetle TDI Convertible is both fun to drive and fuel-efficient, earning up to 41 mpg highway.

Jaguar F-Type

Jaguar's first two-seat convertible since the iconic E-TYPE set roadways ablaze over half a century ago, the all-new F-TYPE marries classic sports car aesthetics with modern performance technology and plenty of luxury touches.

Audi S5 Cabriolet

A 3.0-liter, 333-horsepower supercharged V6 propels the Audi S5 Cabriolet from 0-60 in just over five seconds, while quattro all-wheel drive and responsive electromechanical steering give you full control when going for a joyride on curvy backcountry roads.

Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster

Providing a smooth ride along with plenty of luxury accoutrements like Mercedes' advanced Airscarf heating system, the SL550 is built for high-class, high-performance fun.

Fiat 500c by Gucci

In this collaboration between two famed Italian design houses, the Fiat 500c gets the Gucci treatment with a couture take on the cabriolet.

Chrysler 200 Convertible

As the drop-top cousin of the excellent Chrysler 200 sedan, this cool convertible combines elegant styling with a comfortable interior and a reasonable price that belies its luxury leanings.
