Fiat 500 2016
Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: Cars don't come a lot more easygoing than the 500 and the 500C ups the relaxation factor even more. It's not a proper convertible, really, but what it loses in complete open-air feel it more than makes up for with a bit of extra liveability, a boot that takes, you know, some things, and two (very) occasional seats in the back.

Best options for a fun convertible?
The easiest question on record. Get an MX-5 and you'll have all the sunshine and fun you want. The only problem will be choosing between the 1.6 and 2.0-litre engines. Most prefer the "big-bore" engine but I like the engagement you get with the smaller one.
