Our winner must be enjoyable to drive, good-looking and, above all, fun.

Mazda MX-5The legend. The Mazda MX-5 has been around since 1989 but it has lost none of its appeal in the meantime. It is still enjoyable to drive, well-made, reliable and cheap to buy, making it easy to see why it remains the world's best-selling convertible. |

MINI RoadsterWhereas most MINIs are among the more expensive models in their respective classes, the MINI Roadster is one of the more affordable drop-tops on the market. It's also great fun to drive, good-looking, beautifully-made and blessed with a sort of cheekiness which makes it hugely appealing. |

The Boxster is nothing short of sensational, whether you're hanging it out on the ragged edge or pottering around town. It's also surprisingly practical, comfortable and good-looking. It really is difficult to pick fault with the Boxster. |
