Top 10 Most Affordable Convertibles for 2002

Dying for the pleasure of top-down driving but limited by a budget? We've compiled a list of the 10 cheapest convertibles -- yes, some are family-friendly four-seaters, while others are carefree roadsters, but all have a removable top so that the sun can warm your face and the summer breeze can ruffle your hair. The first nine cars on this list have MSRPs under 30 grand -- and of course, many of them can be purchased much closer to invoice.

1. Volkswagen Cabrio, $20,150

2. Mazda MX-5 Miata, $21,800
