Best Convertible Cars of 2023 and 2024

Edmunds' experts test convertible car contenders on both our test track and a 115-mile real-world test loop of city streets, freeways and winding canyons. In between, we take them home and live with them as our daily drivers, typically for two full weeks. The data we gather results in our convertible car ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover performance, comfort, interior, technology, utility and value. How we rank
