You may be constrained by a tight budget, but that doesn't mean you have to deny yourself the pleasure of some drop-top excitement. We've put together a list of this year's 10 cheapest convertibles. They run the gamut — some are cute and friendly, some are pumped with testosterone, and some offer four-seat practicality that suits the whole family. However, the one thing they all have in common is a removable top that allows you to get your fill of the brisk autumn air.

These rankings are based on each convertible's base MSRP (note that destination charge is not included). All the cars on this list have MSRPs that are less than $30,000; the first seven are even more budget-priced, with MSRPs that fall under the $25,000 mark. Remember that many of these drop tops may be purchased at prices that are closer to invoice, so check each car's True Market Value^® before going to the dealer.
