2-seater roadsters and convertibles are the top choice for those who are free to pack an overnight bag or two in the trunk and disappear for the weekend. They’re typically on the small side and delightfully fun to drive. Still, the recipe can differ between brands. For example, the Mazda Miata MX-5 is starkly contrasted against an Aston Martin drop-top, but they both offer open-top driving. The list of models features affordable options, top-level luxury, and performance variants.

How do I know if two-seater convertibles are sufficient for my needs?
If you regularly transport passengers in the back seat, two-door convertibles likely won’t suit you. However, if you’re after a fun driving experience more than comfort and refinement, this could be the right car for you.
How can I save money when I shop within this segment?
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of the only genuinely affordable 2-seater convertible cars at under $30k. Other than that, a lightly used example of one of the other cars on this list can save you a lot of money.
