Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible

It's capable of hitting speeds up to 202 mph, but the Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible usually can't be bothered with such undignified pursuits. Instead, it prefers to cruise effortlessly at speeds where its curves can be best appreciated by all around.

How would James Bond spend a sunny day? Well, he'd spend it saving the world from behind the wheel of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster.

Volkswagen Beetle Convertible

The performance was good; the aesthetics were stylish; but my favorite part of the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible was casually cruising the countryside with the Fender audio system faithfully reproducing my favorite jams.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4

I'll bet you didn't see this one coming. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4 is available with a variety of roof options, including hard and soft variants that peel back easily to reveal the sky above. Maybe it's a stretch to consider this mountain goat a convertible, but I love it, so I'm counting it.

Mercedes-Benz SL550 Convertible

When I think "roadster," I usually have something simple in mind. When Mercedes-Benz thinks "SL550 Roadster," the automaker thinks about cramming all of the cabin tech at its disposal into an attractive drop-top chassis.

Porsche Boxster

Porsche's entry-level Boxster gets a 2013 model year refresh with more-muscular looks, a much more luxurious interior, and handling that rivals (but doesn't quite upstage) its stablemate: the Porsche 911.

Mazda Miata PRHT Special Edition

The simple Mazda Roadster is one of my favorite cars of all time. It's light, nimble, and pure in its purpose as a true driver's car. The PRHT Special Edition adds a healthy smattering of go-faster bits, creature comforts, and a power retractable hard top that raises and lowers at the touch of a button.

Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet

We've tested a number of category-bending cars, but the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is one of the weirdest vehicles to pass though the Car Tech garage. Taking a largish SUV and chopping the top seems like a fool's errand, but at least one reader loved it enough to give the CrossCab a 5-star rating.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

It's the fastest car to pass through the Car Tech garage and, at a lofty $2.25M, it's also the most expensive. On the other hand, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse isn't very good at being a convertible, requiring two people and a bit of forethought and planning to go from hardtop to open sky.
